Kong Hee Fat Choi


Happy Chinese New Year! The year of the Ox starts on January 26th. Here are 2 cards with the same elements, but arranged in a different way. They are both printed but look like they have been stamped.

A bit early but - Happy Easter



This is one of my own drawings turned into a very simple 3d découpage. I just wish I could think of a name for him

Happy New Year


Here are my first couple of cards for this year. They are raised pyramid or pyramage cards made from some Japanese prints I found. The one on the left is a mother and her child and the one on the right is a woman on an old-fashioned telephone.

One last Christmas card


I found this clip art Santa Claus and I just had to turn him into a 3d découpage, as he is so cheery looking. I made it a very simple card, as it didn't need any embellishment

Tiny biscornu



If I ever think of doing one this small again, people have my permission to slap me, as they are so fiddly to join up.

The design is an old blackwork Christmas decoration design (not my own) I found in my charts. It was easy to stitch but the size of it makes it really awkward to join together, but I think it was worth it in the end.


Unfortunately I couldn't find a smaller button, so this one had to do. I think a smaller one would have looked better. I'm going to make it into a scissor keep.

Hanukkah cards




Here are a couple of Hanukkah cards. I had meant to stitch them but am so behind this year that I had to make them. They are pyramid cards.

My first pyramid cards.






I could never see the point of them but I was a little bored yesterday and decided to try them. I used Publisher for the images and to save ink I put a white box on every image to save ink. If you do this you have to make sure the smaller images are slightly bigger than the white box so it covers it properly and no white shows. Now I am hooked. There are no sentiments yet because I can't find them.
