Like most cardmakers I find making cards for men amongst the most difficult to do. These were for my brother-in-law for his birthday.

Ruby Wedding
New Home card
This was a very quick card to make because I cheated! My mojo had deserted me but then I saw this card created by Michelle Short, a cardmaker whose work I’ve admired for a long while. I already knew which stamp I wanted to use so the rest was easy. What is it they say? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?
Wedding card
Some good friends of ours were married (at long last!) the other day. Such a special occasion deserved a special card, and this was based on a wedding cake I saw in a magazine the bride was using for inspiration.
CAS Valentine’s Card
I always struggle to make Valentine’s cards for my husband; anything too romantic would be a big mistake so I spend ages searching the internet for inspiration. This year my inspiration was the second card in the set shown here.
Poppy Birthday card
This card was for one of my Goddaughters, Jemma. The poppy stamp is from Inkylicious; I stamped it randomly on a white panel then coloured with Poppy (obviously!) Promarker. The central part of the flower was coloured in yellow pencil. Stamped greeting, brads to finish.
