A 'Clean and Simple' Birthday Card

Today, I am sharing the birthday card I made for my sister earlier this month.
I decided to go for 'white on white' with a pop of colour in the centre,
using snippets of white and lilac card.
.
I started by choosing two sizes of the frame dies, die-cut
each one three times in white card and glued them together.

I marked in pencil the position of the smaller frame, and using my
Misti stamping platform, I stamped the sentiment onto the base card.

I then glued the frames in place, added the die-cut flowers to the centre
and finished with the diamante gems.

The products I have used are:
The Works - Stitched Squares
Spellbinders Shapeabilities Die D-Lites - Blooms Four
Julie Hickey Designs - I Need:Everyday Sentiments

I am entering my card into the 
Snippets Playground #424 Challenge - Anything Goes

Next, I die-cut the letters in black foam and glued both sets together.

A Crocheted Throw/Blanket for my Great Niece

I am back today sharing the crocheted throw/blanket I made for one of my great

nieces for Christmas.

The one I made for her sister can be found HERE

For this one, I used the same pattern as the one I made HERE, which is
 based on the Infinity Scarf pattern designed by the talented Melanie Ham,
who sadly passed away last month, aged 37.

I watched many of Melanie's YouTube tutorials during the first lockdown two
years ago, when I taught myself to crochet. I know I will use many more of her 
patterns in the future too. She was a really talented sewer and crocheter
with a huge following.

The pattern is crocheted rows of the V Stitch.

I bought the yarn online from The Wool Box

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