Sympathy card using picture peel off

My friend made this sympathy card, after the death of his friend and work colleague, who was an HGV driver.

The silver picture peel off sticker has been placed on silver mirri card, decoupaged and mounted onto a blue mat with foam pads. A greetings peel off has been added to a matching mat and both mats have been fixed to silver pearl card using plain metallic brads. The silver card was then mounted onto an A5 card, made from an A4 sheet of silver moondust card, folded in two.
The Starform peel off sticker sheet used to make the card is pictured above.

Elegant lady cards using Hunkydory Gorgeous Gingham die cut topper sheet

As you can probably tell, I do like these elegant lady topper sheets from Hunkydory - here's another selection of cards made using them.

I used the largest topper from the sheet on the 8 x 10" card above, with a backing of Basic Grey paper. I mounted both picture and greetings toppers with self adhesive foam. The card has been finished with a strip of white velvet effect ribbon and a large black and white flower, with a jewel brad centre. I had just enough of the same paper to also cover the 6 x 4" card below. I mounted the topper onto mats made with rectangular nestabilities dies, then added a good sprinkling of grey, pearl and black Kanban Pearl gems to the background paper.
The card below is an A5 card, made from an A4 piece of black card, folded in two. The topper has been layered onto mats made with rectangular nestabilities, then onto black textured handmade paper (unfortunately this hasn't shown up well in the picture) and silver self adhesive paper. The card has been finished off with a black velvet ribbon strip and a grey flower with tiny gem brad centre.
I've used half of the tag from the topper sheet for the card below, with a Kanban Bling gem over the silver dot. Again, I've used nesties for the matting, and some co-ordinating handmade paper, onto a blue A6 card, with a Card Art greetings banner.
The card below mixes silver and gold, which both feature in the handmade paper used as the largest mat on the card. The card is A5, made from an A4 sheet of gold moondust card folded in half. The topper has been mounted onto a mat cut from gold mirri card using a scalloped square nestabilities die, and I added a strip of gold ribbon at the bottom of the card.
The foiled and die cut Hunkydory topper sheet that I used to make the cards is pictured below. Each topper sheet contains a selection of picture and greetings toppers for your card craft projects, so you can make several cards from each sheet. Toppers can be matted and layered or mounted with foam pads or silicone adhesive for extra dimension.

Christening card made with Smiley Bears decoupage

I made this Christening card using Smiley Bears decoupage and toning background sheet. I also added a strip of co-ordinating ribbon, under the greeting.

This particular sheet of Smiley Bears decoupage is designed for larger cards, I think the topper fits very nicely onto the A5 card that I used. The co-ordinating greeting is from the decoupage sheet, and I used another from the sheet on the inside of the card.

I layered the bears up using mostly silicone adhesive, as I found it easier to manoeuvre the layers into position using this. However, I did also use a few tiny foam pads to add some of the smaller and detailed decoupage elements.
The Smiley Bears decoupage sheet and co-ordinating background sheet that I used to make this card are pictured above. Foil Play has a wide selection of Smiley Bears sheets, including traditional and die cut decoupage, stackerz, invertage and die co-ordinating design elements, along with other Doolicraft designs which you may have seen on Create & Craft TV: Furry Friends, Tumble Ted & Tizzy and Fat Cat & Co.

Christmas tree cards made from Kanban decoupage card kit

I managed to make three cards out of this beautiful Kanban Christmas Tree decoupage card kit. For the card above, I used an Kanban foiled A4 large card as the base card. I matted the main topper from the decoupage sheet in the kit onto toning green and gold card, and added the wreath, teddy and gift elements from the decoupage sheet to add dimension. A Christmas greetings topper and a ribbon completed the card.
The A5 card from the decoupage kit is above, I've mounted the chair, bow and greetings elements from the decoupage sheet with silicone adhesive to add dimension. I also added glitter highlights to the tree using a Sakura Quickie glue pen and green ultra fine art glitter.

The card below uses the tree topper from the decoupage sheet matted (with self adhesive foam) onto green and gold card and mounted onto a cream A5 card. A co-ordinating greetings topper finishes the card.
The Kanban kit that I used to make these cards is pictured below:
Each kit contains:

• an A4 foiled & printed card creased to A5;
• an A4 foiled, flittered and die cut decoupage sheet; and
  
• a C5 envelope

Christmas Kinetic Card Kits from Hunkydory

Hunkydory very kindly sent me a big box of samples recently, and I enjoyed making up these Kinetic cards.
Each kit contains foiled and die-cut elements to make 4 luxury kinetic cards:

• Four pre-scored "Mountains and Valleys" card blanks;
• Four precision die cut A4 mirror foil sheets
• Four precision die cut foiled A4 background sheets
• Four foiled and die cut toppers with sentiments

There are no instructions included with this kit, but the cards are easy to make, based on the one illustrated on the pack front. The main thing to be aware of is that the layers on the middle panel of the card start with a patterned layer of card, all other panels start with mirror card. You can see that the base layer of patterned card is missing from the centre panel of the card pictured above, which was the first card I made before I realised this.
The Festive Dreams kit from which these cards were made is pictured below. There is also a Sparkling Scenes kit, which features beautiful scenes and die cut snowflake design backing card.
Foil Play stocks a wide range of goodies from Hunkydory, to help you to create beautiful cards, including die cut and traditional decoupage, die cut toppers, rubber stamps and more.
