The sun will shine again!

Hello,

I hope you’re all keeping well in both mind and spirt in these very difficult times? Again I am happy to say my family and I are all well.

Today I’d like to share a card I have made to send to the lovely team who are looking after my mum in her care home in sunny Llandudno. They are doing a wonderful job looking after all the residents who have been on total lockdown for weeks now which means me and my two sisters are unable to visit with her.

I just wanted to show we care for them and all they are doing. Keep Safe everyone and I hope you get some family time this Easter.

Here is the card

I made a 5x8 card blank and used both sides of a sheet of paper Pion Design paper from swedishhousecrafts  distressing the edges first. The stamp to make the sentiment is by colourific.co.uk and is called sun-will-rise-clear-stamp-set.

I have teamed it with flowers I have made using foamiran using LadyE dies. A couple of gems on top and bottom corners of the top layer have completed the card.

Thanks for stopping by today, I do hope you like what you see a may like to leave a word or two. Take care and catch up with you soon.

Vintage Christmas card

Hello and I hope this finds you all well.

I have been keeping myself busy in the craft room of late trying to improve my flower making skills using foamiran.


Today I have a card to share with you on which I have placed 2 of my poinsettia flowers I made yesterday. I have used white and baby pink, on both I have added touches of pink ink to the edges and pearl stamens in the centre.


The papers are from Bobunny and I have added silver glitter leaves and flourishes along with cheesecloth and extra glitter around the frame. The pink snowflakes and the sentiment are from a Justrite stamp set embossed using white powder. Plenty lift on the card using foam behind.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you like what you see and if so leave a word or two. Take care in these uncertain times and keep your distance by  staying home.

Easter Wishes

Hello,

I hope you're all keeping well in these very difficult times. Myself and family are all well at this moment thank goodness and long may it last.

It seems I can't keep out of my craft room in the afternoon which I must say I have no complaints about!!  So here are my makes to share with you today.




I have used papers from my stash on these two shaped cards which I have made for my cousins in the USA I should have hand delivered these but my trip was postponed!

The sentiment is a Verve stamp and to it I've added paper flowers, lace, twine and little egg cut with stackable dies. I've also added a cute bunny to each card too.

Thanks for popping over today, I will be joining in at the following channel sites
