Simply stunning cards

Hi Everyone – Dolly here but with someone else too.

For a long time I have been an admirer of Tina Fitch’s work on UK Scrappers. (silverst170) I am in awe of the cards she makes using the Craft Robo in ways I can only begin to imagine. Her work is stunning and so intricate and so I asked her if she would like to share some of her work and her thoughts on the blog here.

Let these few whet your appetite.

 

 

So I hand you over to Tina.

My name is Tina I am married and have two children, both girls. I also have twin granddaughters that presently take up most of my time.

 
I worked full time till about 6 year's ago as a Manager for Greggs plc, I organised and conducted training and opened the new shops for the company as well as managing my own unit..One day I went to work and decided it just wasn't for me anymore, so left there and then. Don't know what came over me, but decided enough was enough I wanted my life back...

 I was then brought a card kit from QVC which I used and started to make handmade cards.  I was never any good at art or making cards hahaha until I discovered the Craft Robo in Birmingham at a craft show..

My hubby brought one for me and from there I struggled to get to grips with my Robo for approx 6 months.  I then started to churn out some of the most awful card templates you ever did see and sold them as templates on ebay. I never looked back from that day. I just love pretty girly things and always have done.

So I started out trying to make card templates that you can't buy in the shops and my cards are unique.  I have never seen anything like it in the stores anywhere I have been and believe me I do look...

 

Now I can look at something from picture and near as not replicate it as to how I would like it to look. I now have my own website selling templates for the Robo, silhouette and wishblade digital cutting machines, I  now have nearly all the templates I originally created in GSD converted for all other machines to use.

I think you will all agree - her work is stunning. I know I keep using that word but .... well it just is.
