Cherry Blossom

Hi Crafters,

What a strange time it is.

I hope you are all keeping safe and hopefully sane while we ride this storm.

It has been a gorgeous week for the weather and lots of people have been getting ahead with gardening jobs so I hear and this has prompted me to share this card today.

Using a rather gorgeous image from one of my Hunkydory Little Books, Creative Expressions Stitched Frame dies and a Cherry Blossom Die I have created this pretty little garden scene.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Incy Wincy Designs - Spring Fling

Crafty Cardmakers - #253 Spring

Double D Challenges - Spring

The Sisterhood of Crafters - Spring

Stay safe everyone!

Christmas Card Club Challenge #4 - Christmas Birds

Hi Crafters,

It's Sunday, where did the weekend go?

It's also time to share my first Christmas card make for our friendly little Christmas Club. We are a group of ladies trying to get ahead for Christmas 2019!

I'm a little behind with that task due to reasons various but I will attempt to catch up throughout the year.

I found this fun little Robin line-up on CraftsUprint.

I added some Gold Satin card stock and Brown Glitter card in my mats and layers for a quick and simple card design.

~~~~~~

This next card was made using a magazine freebie kit, I thought the cute little penguin fitted the theme too. I decided to make a shaker card using some gold snowflakes that I've had in my stash for ages.

Love Birds

Hi Crafters,

What a dreary day it is here so this card should cheer you up!

The pretty flowers are a new (to me) Sue Wilson die that I purchased and the sweet birds belong to a Spellbinders die which I have cut apart and placed in a die cut cage from Cherry Lynn.

I have used this very pretty vellum sheet today secured behind the corner punches for my background. The dotty cardstock is from Anna Marie Designs which has been languishing in my craft room for far too long, thought it was about time I cut into it.

Passion for Promarkers Challenge #342 - Things with Wings

Hi Crafters,

It's Tuesday and time for a new challenge at Passion For Promarkers.

I've used this cute image from Tiddly Inks for this very CAS card.

I generated the sentiment to fit each sheet of paper the birds are holding in My Craft Studio program and then coloured the image with my Promarkers.

I have layered a couple of Sweet Dixie border die cuts in coordinating card stock to compliment the image.
