Female Birthday Card

I made this ‘clean and simple’ card for a friend after seeing the idea on Pinterest.

Using my Misti stamping platform, I stamped the word

‘Happy’ using five different coloured inks.

Next, I die-cut it using the pierced rectangles die, used 3D foam to

adhere it to the card base, then added the birthday sentiment and gems.

The products I have used are:

Ranger Ink Letter It Clear Stamps - Birthday

Die-Namics - Pierced rectangles

Card Deco - Happy Birthday

A Crocheted Throw/Blanket

 Today, I am sharing a crocheted throw blanket I made for one of my great nieces. 

I used the lovely textured Sedge stitch which I found HERE on 
the 'Blossom Crochet' YouTube channel.

Rebekah’s tutorials are really easy to follow and she has lots of different

 crochet stitches to share.

I started by deciding how wide I wanted the throw to be. 

I chained 141 stitches, and crocheted rows of the same stitch until I 

reached the desired length.

I finished by crocheting a border of four rows of half trebles.

I purchased the yarn online from The Wool Box

using eight 100g balls of Stylecraft Special DK in the colour ‘Lavender’
