About Me

Eastham, Wirral, United Kingdom
Welcome to Dottie about cards. I live on the Wirral and have been crafting for 10 years. I have a son and daughter and 6 grandchildren. I have been a craft tutor covering many aspects of cardmaking for 10 years. I was employed by a local craft company, sadly that came to an end so now I have now gone freelance.

Milton's sleigh

I have used nestabilities and Martha Stewart snowflake borde punch to make this card.
I love this Milton stamp, it is so cute.

Musical Xmas Card

I have made this card to show that you can use the new book template from
Little Claire on Xmas cards as well as Wedding, christening, sympathy,
new baby etc. I have also again used the large dies from Go Kreate

Snowman peeloff

This card has been cut with the new large Go Kreate die and the layers cut with
nestabilities. I have coloured parts of the snowman with promarkers and then
used glamour dust on hat and scarf.

Xmas baubles

This is another peel off card I have made. I have used Crafts Too dotty embossing
folder on the background. I used inkabilities on black card then placed the peel offs
onto the card then glittered them with glamour dust. Finished the baubles off
with little bows.

Poinsettia trio

I was asked to make cards with these peel offs, one sheet of green and one sheet
of red. I peeled them off the backing and stuck them on to acetate, then cut round
them. I used a kaleidoscope template to make the card and edged with glitter
line peel offs.

Sister's birthday card

Hi everyone, been a bit busy, have been getting a new kitchen so haven't been
able to spend time on blog. This card I made for my sister's birthday. I used the very
large dies from Go Kreate to cut the ovals. I printed the image from Joanna Sheene's Pamela
West cd rom, scanned the image and made a background paper.

Lazy Days

I made this stepper card from Little Claire's stamps set. Have used the scallop and plain round
die cuts from Little Claire. As usual I have decoupaged the images. I think it makes the
card a little bit more interesting.
