Jo's Cards

Had a good time at my daughter's. Our eldest grandson (16) was in a school production of We Will Rock You.
He's the one on the right, the other boy played the lead, Thomas played Cliff (Richard). I had no idea what it was about beforehand, but it was great. There were some very talented youngsters with fantastic voices.

As promised here are the lovley cards we made with Jo on Wednesday, I really enjoyed making these Jo has always inspired me as she has some great ideas.


Oooops!!!! it should have a bow in the centre, you can see the sticky dot where it was. It still looks good though without it. We used SU DSP, Wisteria Wonder and Whisper White CS, the rest was some of Jo's equipment.


This one uses Pool Party and Lucky Limeade, Jo loves these colours together and they really do work. The DSP is from the Everyday Enchantment Set, Free up till the end of March when you spend £45 with Stampin Up. I love the swirls with the lace flowers.


I think this was almost everyones favourite, it is white on white (looks a bit grey here and there on the pic) the larger lacy die cut was cut out of the card and embossed, then the remaining card was cut to size and stuck to the front of the card then the die cut put back into place. Very effective. Jo doesn't like flat flowers and we use an embossing tool and mat to give them some shape but mine never look as good as hers. These were various flower punches layered, the leaves were punches too. The ribbon is sheer with white polka dots. and the gems are pearls not silver as they look here. A really lovely card.

Hope you like them, back soon with more of mine.
