Horrible Background!!

WOW where is this year going... it seems to be going so fast. Don't know whether I am coming or going. Have not made a card in ages but I do have some which I made earlier...

The card I have to show you today has a bit of a story. Are you sitting comfortably?  On my annual trip to Appleby Magna,  Kim was messing about with doing her own backgrounds and she didn't like this one and threw it away. I rescued it and made it into this card. I used a couple of buttons that Greta gave me and this was the card I made.

Obviously I sent her the card for her birthday. :-)

Hanging Christmas card

We are decorating at the moment so have not had any time in my craft room and I am getting withdrawal symptoms. Luckily I will be going to a workshop tomorrow so will get some crafting done then.

I do have a card of sorts to show you today. This is a hanging Christmas card. The images are decoupage, so are 3D. There is a blank white piece of card on the back for your message. The panels are approximately 4" square with matching ribbon. I will be making some more of these to sell in my Etsy shop.

Another Anniversary card

I hope this post finds you all well . Another anniversary card to show you today.

This card was made for my son & daughter in law's anniversary last month. The image on the card is from the Twiggy & Toots CD. I love these little owls :-) 

The image was printed off the Cd and then backed onto some backing card that I had in my stash. The greeting is from LOTV.

Our 25th Wedding Anniversary

Bit quiet on the blog front recently due to the fact that I have only been at home for 2 weeks in the last 6!

Back on 9th October, hubby and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. We went over to the Isle of Wight for a week to celebrate. The weather was beautiful and we had a great time.

Here is the card that I made for hubby. All done in CAP. Printed out and then matted onto silver and black backing card.

Birthday Card

The card I have to show you today is one that I made at a workshop a couple of months ago.

The backing was made with a stencil and ink mist. Great effect. The flowers are Altenew and if I remember we used the green meadows and the Pocketful of Sunshine ink cube set. The 'just for' stamped greeting has been embossed. I have added the 'sister greeting.

Anniversary Card

Today's card is an anniversary card that I made for my niece and her husband. I got the idea from Pinterest and thought it was a lovely way to use up scraps of backing paper. A very simple but effective card I think.
