Cloudbusting

 

I bought a very cheap 'cloud edge' stencil off Temu, that arrived today - only took 8 days to come from China.

The first cards I made with it are these these 2 new baby cards with a flying elephant - for a boy and girl.

I then found some die cut birds to put against a cloudy background.

Think it was a bargain!

Twins!

 A neighbour is expecting twins and they have a habit of coming early, so I thought I'd better be prepared!

I don't know what the gender of the babies will be, so I have made a neutral one above - and can colour the hearts blue and pink if there is one of each

A pink card if they are both girls and a blue one if 2 boys arrive!

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!

A Commission and Recycling

I recently got a commission to make a card for someones first Grandson - this will be winging its way to Romania soon!

Like many people, I have now started making my Christmas cards. These two have both got parts of last years cards recycled in them!

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!

New Stamps - New Cards!

I can never wait to use any new crafty items, so when I picked up Creative Stamping Magazine, I just had to try out some of their fab 'New Beginnings' stamps!

They have lots of great ideas how to use the stamps in the magazine and I quickly sat down and made these cards - going to use the tall house stamp for a 'New Home' card next!
