Mothers Day Present

 One of my Mothers Day presents was the new Interchangeable Sentiment die set from Gemini - I originally spotted them being demonstrated on Create & Craft TV

Its a great idea to have 3 different sentiments fit the same floral frame - this one has Congratulations, Celebrate and Condolences - so can be used for many different types of cards

The sentiments look good on their own without the background too!

Not Going Out

 

I am happy to comply with government instructions and stay indoors, when it is snowing like this outside. Snow that lays is a bit of a novelty in Suffolk and we may only get it a couple of times a year.

Of course, the other good reason to stay inside, is to sit in my lovely craft room and play with my new embossing folder. I have used it in several different colour schemes and styles now.

This could be a popular addition to my stack of embossing folders!

3 Pink Elephants

I've had a pack of 3 glittered pink elephants with felt ears in my stash for ages, so thought it was about time I used them up - so have made 3 different birth congratulation cards

Each one is in a different style, size and layout,

But I think they are all quite cute!

Well Done Card

A 'Well Done' card for my Nephew who received his GCSE results this week and is now able to go off to college in September

Every cloud has a silver lining!

The atrocious weather over the last few days has meant more time for crafting!

 I've been beavering away in my craft room and this is a selection of  new baby congratulation cards that I made.

Baby Cards - Just in case!

I don't know anyone whose pregnant at the moment but made these 2 new baby cards to keep just in case!

They are more cards that I've put together to use up some of my huge pile of papers - didn't really make much of a dent!!!!

Hanglar Congratulations Card

I made this card after looking at the latest Inspirational Card Sketches blog. This is a layout that I have never tried out before but works really well!

I decided to use the little Hanglar girl holding a glass a champagne. The corners were made with an x-cut punch and the little flowers came from a bargain pack of shapes from Poundland yesterday!
