Dots and Stars

Well, I'm finally getting new posts popping up in my Reading List, not necessarily in chronological order, but at least is much better than none at all.

My masculine card was made for a friend who celebrated his birthday this week.


The card shape was made with a die from the Sizzix 'Card, Circle Flip-Its #2' set.  I used patterned paper from The Range.  The stars were all made with punches.

This shows the back of the swing part of the card.

Our 52nd Wedding Anniversary

Today my hubby and I are celebrating our 52nd Wedding Anniversary and this is the card I made for him.  I've made several Hexagon Pop-Up Cards before using the instructions HERE, but I wanted to make a larger one, so I played around with the measurements to make it much bigger.  

The patterned paper was all snippets and is from a paper pad from The Range.  I used three dies from the Lisa Horton ' Nested Hearts' set.  The small heart is a die cut from Sue Wilson 'Mr and Mrs' set. 

This style of card folds flat if it needs to be posted.

Allsorts Challenge ~ Sympathy/Thinking of You/Get Well

There seems to be a problem with the Reading Lists on Blogger.  I've had no notifications of new posts for several days now, so apologies if I usually visit your blog and you've made a new post recently.  Hopefully the glitch will be sorted out soon.

Gail has chosen the theme of 'Sympathy/Thinking of You/Get Well' for the new Allsorts Challenge.  I've made two masculine DT cards for this challenge.

For my first card, I made a masculine 'Get Well' card for a friend who recently had a fall.  Initially the doctors thought he had fractured his hip, but fortunately it's just badly bruised.

The die is unbranded and the patterned paper is from The Range.  The sentiment is a stamp is from the Happy Little Stampers 'Dandelion Wishes' set, stamped with Stampin' Up 'Night of Navy'.

I am joining in the following challenges with this card:


My second card is a Thinking of You card for a friend whose Mum recently passed away. 
 
 I used a Creative Expressions 'Dragonfly Dreams' die with a square of white card and layered it on a pale blue mat.  The extra little dragonfly die comes as part of the set.  The sentiment is a Woodware stamp, stamped with Versafine Clair 'Morning Mist'. 
 
I am joining in the following challenges:

We have a lovely prize of three floral dies and download of ready coloured reflections artwork to match the dies plus papers from Highlight Crafts.
