Go Wild

Here are those wild cards I made and promised to share with you. This is a great cartridge once you get your head round it. Though I recommend that you get the 12x24 mats and try and find some 12x24 paper for some of them. You can even make matching envelopes too and line them, but some of the cards can be put in an ordinary envelope, like my doily cards I have been cutting at 5 3/4 inches so I can pop them in a 6" square envelope.

This is the graduation cap card, I think its quite cute. I think I will be making a few of these soon as every year for the past 3 years I have made graduation cards for the nursery class at my nephew's school. The teacher asked my brother the other day if I could make them again this year even though he is coming to the end of Primary 1 now. The congrats was cut from Stamping Solutions cart.

Here is the present card, I cut this at 7 1/2 inches. I got inspiration to make this card from this blog. I had been surfing looking at Wild Cards while I was waiting for my expression and Wild Card to arrive and I fell in love with this version. I printed the paper from scrapbookscrapbook and the flower was punched using my EK Success punches. The tag is really cute too and I did a bit of faux stitching round the edge.


This card is the Birthday card cut. Now I didn't like the way the machine had cut it as the back part was larger than the front so the card kind of leaned to the front. I made them level and now you can see it kind of leans over to the side like the Tower of Pisa. I put a piece of acetate in the opening, under the layer of DCWV paper and attached my paper flower with a brad. The sentiment is a Stampin Up stamp.

Thank you for looking, I have to take my mum to hospital today as she is getting a heart op tomorrow, I hope all goes well with it.
