I seem to be so behind with posting my cards on my blog, so this is going to be a photo heavy post to try and catch up.
First up is a Balcony Front Card
The patterned paper is from a paper pad which came as a cover gift with a magazine. The balloons are Lin and Lene die cuts.
I am joining in the following challenges with this card:
My next card is an Exploding Heart Card.
The front of the card was inspired by a sketch. The background was embossed with a Lisa Horton's 'Pretty Leaves' embossing folder. The patterned paper was from an old A4 paper pad. I stamped a sentiment using a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Best Year' set.
When the card is opened, it reveals and exploding heart. I added a layered plain panel for the message.
I am joining in the following challenges with this card:
The Spellbinder 'Lacy Square' die cut is the same shade of white as the background, but it's a stiffer card and looks a different shade in the photo. I used a Marianne Design cross stitch die in the middle of the lacy square and used crochet cotton for the cross stitching. Added a strip of elephant ribbon across the middle of the card for added interest.
I am joining in the following challenges with this card:
My next card is a Gatefold Bay Card.
The patterned paper if from a paper pad from The Works. The Lin and Lene starfish die cut is layered on Memory Box 'Stitched Circle Layers' die cuts.
The seahorse was die cut with an old Sizzix die in silver holographic card.
I am joining in the following challenges with this card:
This next card in one of my favourite colour combinations of red, black and white.

Finally, my last card.
Oh my, what a big compilation of cards!!! And everyone is so special! It would take me at least a month to make so many cards! Love the different foldings, the designs and the stamps and dies you used. The stitched one is super cute. Very difficult choose a favourite but I think I love especially the Gatefold Bay with those fabulous papers and the holographic seahorse!
