This thread has been auto-created because the original thread had over 250 posts.

Post your Miscellaneous Cards (Anniversary/Wedding/Engagement/Thinking of You etc.) here for all to see and check back regularly for inspiration from the many talented ladies we have here :D

Every so often I will delete the comments posts, so that we can keep the images only, and hopefully this will build into a mini gallery of Miscellaneous Cards :D

Please feel free to carry on......

I have a few to post today.

First off a very me (I like white) thank you card (dedicated to the mystery person who somewhere along the line inspired me :wub:).

http://web.mac.com/fionadickinson/Fifi-Ts/Cardmaking_Blog/Entries/2007/11/24_Thank_You_for_Scallops_and_Stripes_files/IMGP6108.jpg

Second off another thank you (in the big bling category).

http://web.mac.com/fionadickinson/Fifi-Ts/Cardmaking_Blog/Entries/2007/11/21_I’m_Dotty_About_You%21_2_files/shapeimage_2.jpg

At this time of year a lot of Thank You cards are made at Maison Fifi in preparation for Christmas.

Finally just a card I sent numpkin (aka OH) to let him know I think of him when I craft.

http://web.mac.com/fionadickinson/Fifi-Ts/Cardmaking_Blog/Entries/2007/11/17_I’m_Dotty_About_YOu%21_files/shapeimage_2.jpg

Fifi-T
02-12-2007, 12:30 PM
Thanks for the praise. I don't find much inspiration in the magazines, often find the cards cluttered and over the top. My inspiration and ideas come from these forums, so thank you to everyone who is making cards.

My scrapping is the same way, very minimalist. Thanks again for the lovely comments.

I have had to make Thank You cards from my 2 year old for all the birthday and Christmas prezzies she got. I did the Thank You using my Craft Robo and pearlised paper and Bazzill Bling for the mat and then just used different embellies to finish the cards off. I had 12 to make, have done 10 but ran out of card blanks.

This is a Whipper Snapper stamp which I cut it out with my nestabilities and stuck it inside in the window which I also cut with the nestabilities on the front of the card. The card is SU and the paper is from DCWV retro stack. I then cut and put a frame around the window, then cut some flowers and popped gems in the centre, made a small tag and attached with an eyelet. Thanks for looking. :D

Hi fairywings, I have that embossing folder too... they are so nice. I find all card if photoed/scanned come out darkler than irl, its anoying. The flowers are brought from sponsors on here, mainly sarahs cards (http://www.sarahscardsltd.com/).

... I went "unplugged" and made this tiny tag again - the first time I made it was for a swap back in 2004 - I had just bought a red Sizzix and owned THREE dies. Tag, flower pot and snowflake. Made this using 2/3 of my dies :lol: and the rest is punches. Circle for head, cloud for hands, flowers and leaves, and waterdrop used upside down for the sunflower.

GEE forgot how timeconsuming it was - but quite like it - it says SPRING to me. :wub:

I love these new High Hopes stamps and had such fun colouring them in. I must be doing it sort of ok as the kids said "Wow Mum that colouring is just like the artists do with no lines in it, we used to watch Art Attack and wonder how he did that"!!! Bless them!!! I used both copics and prismas and sansador and distressed the edges of the papers which are BG Phoebe. I cut the monkeys hand so that he is holding his banana too!!!

Two of my lastest cards. Both using SU stamps. The first is a standard card but I have cut away part of it so its like a file? The second one is my first time I had a go at distressed paper, dont think it worked too well as I didnt have a tool. Maybe I can look into a tool in a few weeks/months. Also the second one was stamped with marvy uchida markers which I think has given a great effect.

great card, I was wondering about that paper myself yesterday. Would you say that it is verstatile, I bought one of their big value packs a few years ago when I was just starting out and now find I have quite a bit of it still left and struggle to find uses for it! and I didnt want to find the same happening again although this does look much better at first glance.

I found that it slightly better in the fact that the designs are not too OTT. It's worth having a look and a flick through first if you can, it's new in. There is balloons with a few distressed stripes, happy birthday and best wishes (my fav), pressies along one side of paper and square dotty stripes, lacy stars with wavy lines (beautiful looking), big flowery but not too flowery, small stars, petal type/blossomy flowers big, firework type stars (I used this on rock and roll card, flowery diff monotones split down 1/3rd of paper and bold flower and dots. I personally like this pad and have not found a pad of papers that I like everything in it too. Just love the fact there is not lots of diff colours so can make a card one colour diff tomes using this paperso can be safe for those starting out cardmaking too. Hope this helps???

Here is a wedding card which I made for a commission. I hand cut the bride and groom with my trusty scissors and craft knife.

Are they a particular brand of stamp or should I search for mouse stamp? Love the graduation that would be fab to use for thank you cards for my children at school.

charlol, tried to pm you but not possible, heres the answer to your pm
Yes stampabilities they are called house mouse, sometimes you can get real bargains, also the original makers were stampa rosa, these are the non coloured version but the exact same stamps, these are often cheaper.

Thank you lots and lots. Really like mouse stamps as my Nan also loves mice and they are really beautiful stamps. I had problems PMing you too had to tick a box at the bottom.
Am now looking through them all will probably be here all night trying to decide which ones as I'd love them all!!!!
