6 months worth of cards...

So I know I'm really not the greatest with posting here since this really is more of a card/crafting diary ... Being incredibly busy I was able to steal away some time this morning and post the backlog. Looking back I loved some of these cards I gave away and it makes me want to make some more hehe. 
I stamped these little rice Krispy cheese cookie bags :)
One of many... Many Christmas cards I made this year !! 
A card I made for my best friends birthday. It featured a loaf pop up box!
Love this baby boy card I made... I used the markers and a ruler to create the lines. Don't do this enough!
A thank you card 

A baby girl card I made for a friend. Love the buttons and that crystal stuff I used to make them 3d. 

A wedding card I made for my friends using their theme colours 
I love this card... It's earthy for a down to earth girl :)
another wedding card 
My sister commissioned me to make this card for a friend who was feeling down. Love the sprinkled donut effect hehehe
These are the cards I made for this years Mother's Day!

My Latest Cards...

It's been a while but I wanted to share some of my latest cards... still have a whole slew to upload but here's what I have so far! In other news, i've closed down my Stampin' Up store as i'm no longer a demonstrator, but you can certainly go to my friend Genevieve's store instead (who is famous in the Stampin' Up world!).
 One of my favourite wedding cards of all time that I made for my cousin. I am CRAZY about this herringbone embossing folder.
 
On that note, here is another wedding card I made for my other cousin's wedding this summer. I made my own DSP by stamping this blossom stamp set on pink paper.
 For my 92 year old grandmother's birthday, I created this tri-fold card with red paper, gold embossed with the heat tool. I LOVE the cut out I made with the circle punch, and stuck a faceted button on it. Will definitely use that again.
 I think this photo came out kind of blurry but here is a card I made for my lovely sister. I made my own embossing powder by combining the pewter and gold (comes out bronzy), and didnt apply so much so it was more of a grainy look (I think the feeling is more vintage). Then I stamped pink cupcake frosting on, and used the real red sparkly glue stuff to make the hearts, ribbon and cherry :)
This was a baby card I made for a friend. I used the doily stamp set (I forget the name) but I like the effect of stamping and cutting out,and layering that.
 Another favourite... i cant even remember who I made this for :P but I think it's the herringbone embossing folder that gets me every time!

I helped my sister make this mini card for her boyfriend. It's an old stamp set from Stampin' up but I think it's soooo cute.

Last but not least, I love this birthday card with the twine.
