Female Birthday Card

Today's card, is one I made for my friend's daughter,
who celebrated her birthday recently.

The two dies I have used for this card, were both purchased from eBay.

I mat and layered the die cut panel, added the sentiment and the gems to finish.

Recycling Christmas Cards

I have noticed recently, that lots of crafters have been recycling their

Christmas cards ready for next Christmas.

 I thought I'd take a look at mine and do the same. It brought back happy

memories of when I was a child, cutting them up with pinking shears

to make gift tags!

Such a simple card to make with just the image, matt and layered

onto black and gold glitter card.

A 'Thank You' Card

Welcome to my new followers, and thank you for joining me here.

A friend recently asked if I could make a thank you card for her. 

As I was a little short of time, I made this very quick ‘clean and simple’ one.

Before stamping the sentiment, I left the card in the die and lightly inked with

the Tumbled Glass distress ink, which leaves a nice white edge to the die cut.

Materials used:-

Lawn Fawn - Large Cross Stitched Square Stackables
Square Dies - Purchased from eBay 

Stampendous - Thank You
Distress Ink - Tumbled Glass

Challenges entered:-

Cardz 4 Guyz - January Blues
