CD/DVD Gift Sleeve - Birthday in Boxes & Bags / CD/DVD Sleeves by designer Barbara Andrews on craftsuprint

How nice would it be when you want to give someone a CD or DVD that you have made for them for it to have a more personal sleeve than just a plain paper one? A customer had asked for some birthday designs so here is the link to the first one I made.

Esk Show Results

It was so much fun entering the Show again this year and such a thrill that my pair of cards placed 2nd! The winning entry was truly stunning and I was very happy to place beside it. From a "Highly Commended" last year to a placing was a wonderful result.


Aussie Natives - Butterfly Beauty Pyramid

I was so very lucky that this little beauty came to visit us a few weeks ago. We truly have some stunning butterflies in Australia and I'm glad that I can share this one with you. Aussie Natives - Butterfly Beauty Pyramid would suit a variety of card occasions.

Simple Red Rose Decoupage

I've gone back to basics with this sheet as I know cardmakers love to put their own backgrounds (scrapbook papers, etc) on their cards. Print as many as you need, use the layers you want and enjoy!

Vintage Grace

This sweet image of a dancer appealed to me so I created this sheet to appeal to the child at heart. It suits children of any age (including the grown up ones).




Many Thanks

Saying "Thank You" is always special and why not make it more so by giving a lovely card too? Here are some captions on my Many Thanks sheet to help you out!

A lovely vintage image on this Pansies with Lace and Pearls - Oval Pyramid. With various sentiments for different occasions.

This beautiful Red Rose in a Silver Frame - Step by Step is a lovely image for any lady.

Pink Framed Bouquet - A4 Cardfront

A4 cardfronts like this Buttons and Lace - Pink Framed Bouquet are so versitile to use. Either use at full size for an A4 card or use your printers options to resize for smaller cards.


Birthday Captions for Children

Here are 2 sheets that I made just for kids cards - both have age buttons from 1 to 6 in multiples of 4.

Christmas

Why not get in early with your cardmaking with the Christmas Poinsettia - Step by Step sheet? This decoupage image will make lovely cards to send or give to your loved ones.

Birthday Captions for Cardmakers

Another for the card makers, these Birthday Captions come in mutiples of 5 in five styles and include age plates from 40 - 100 (in ten year increments).


Wedding Cards

This lovely image of white roses and lace is perfect for weddings. As a momento for the bride and groom or even for the couple to to send as thank you cards.




Wedding Invitations

Having organised our own wedding I know how important it is to save money where possible. How does printing your wedding invitations for 0.80 GBP (about AUD$1.50) sound?? With 3 invitations per page then the only cost on top of that is your printing (you can print as many as you need on your home printer), backing card, DL envelopes and postage !! Take look below at these!

Easter Card for Baby Boy

And there is a version for Baby's First Easter - Boy with Backing Paper as well.


Easter Card for Baby Girl

What better way to celebrate Baby's First Easter ( - Girl with Backing Paper) than with a cute keepsake card to accompany that fluffy toy!


Sweet Easter Treats - Pyramid Card Topper

Sweet Easter Treats - for something different here is a combination of pyramid and decoupage layers showing these delicious, egg-shaped decorated biscuits.


Shaped Easter Card

A cute, quick to make Easter Bunnies Basket Card - perfect for the kids to make to give to friends.


Wedding Card - Quick Make

For a quick card here is Golden Wedding Rings Foldback card. It has both pyramid and decoupage elements and would make perfect invitations or thank you cards as well.

Wedding Card Captions

Card makers - here is a sheet of Wedding Captions to help you make your cards. In multiples of 5 in various styles. There are 3 bonus images of a pair of wedding rings for extra decoration.


Wishing someone all the best for their wedding couldn't be easier. What better image to portray unity than Golden Wedding Rings. Also would be useful as wedding invitation toppers for something a little different. It has either pyramid or decoupage elements.


Sunflower Foldback Card

For a quick card then why not use the Bright Sunflower Foldback card with Pyramid? Everything you need is on one sheet!


Tuesday, May 11, 2010

Sunflowers are so vibrant and would brighten anyones day. This Bright Sunflower Pyramid sheet has bonus backing paper.


Anniversary Captions for Cards

A lot of card makers sell their work and as such make multiples of their cards. So to help out here are some Anniversary Captions I created - there are 5 of each style and also some for particular anniversaries.


Decoupage Fairy 2

I loved this Beautiful Red Flower Fairy so much I decided to make a special background for it. Again it is a decoupage image and I've included some age toppers to go with it. What little girl could resist?


Lovely Card Gift Set

What would be nicer than a coordinated set to show you care and to accompany a special gift? The Purple Crocus Gift Set has an A5 topper with decoupage and sentiment plates, 2 gift tags and a bookmark (with an extra layer if required).


A4 Cardfront

A4 cards are becoming very popular so here is a lovely spring image - Purple Crocus A4 Cardfront.


Decoupage Gift Tags

For a special gift then why not use a handmade tag to go with it. Four tags each with decoupage elements would be the perfect finish to give to that special someone - Antique Roses Gift Tags.


Rose Bouquet Pyramid Card Topper

This Colourful Bouquet With Roses would be great for loads of occassions so I made sure there was a variety of sentiment tags to accompany it.


Decoupage Fairy

The Flower Fairy 3D Topper is a great decoupage image for any young lady's birthday or other occassion.

Another in the series, the Aussie Natives - Lilly Pilly pyramid topper shows a beautiful spray of native flowers. The Lilly Pilly is natural "bush tucker" and after flowering sets small edible fruit.
