Fore!

A5 50th birthday card I made for my older brother, using the fabulous male toppers from Acid Drops and Whatnots.  I love these toppers, they solve the problem of those 'tricky' male cards!  The white background card from Samuel Taylor was embossed using Crafter's Companion Embossalicious 'Argyle' embossing folder.  The blue mirror card and black card are by Kanban.  I used Robert Addams' All Occasions word die 'brother sister' word set.

Anniversary

8" by 8" square card that I made for my parents' anniversary.  I used Kanban Language of Flowers toppers and background card.  I love that kit, it's so pretty and feminine.  Anyone who knows me will tell you that I love to prettify things!

O Christmas Tree

Inspired by a design team card I saw in Cardmaking and Papercraft, I made this 6" x 6" square stepper card.  I loved the one I saw in the magazine so much that I decided to make my own version of it.  I decided that rather than use the larger label die, which would have meant a large amount of mirror card showing, I used a versamark inkpad and inked the edges focal image then dipped it in melt dust and heat embossed it.  I think the result is quite effective.
