Our Anniversary

It's our 51st Wedding Anniversary today and this is the card I made for my hubby.  Not sure where the years have gone!  I made a Triple Panel Fold Flat Card after watching the a Jamie Rodgers video HERE.

The patterned paper was snippets from a 12 x 12 paper pad from The Range.  I die cut some hearts from snippets of red card. The red panel was embossed with an Xcut 'Small Polka Hearts' embossing folder.

This style of card folds flat for posting, although I obviously didn't need to post this card. 😉

A new Allsorts Challenge begins today and Val has chosen the theme of 'Trees/Leaves/Plants'. There is also the option theme of Anything Goes.

The image is a Little Claire's Designs stamp, stamped with Versafine Claire 'Nocture'.  (Another craft company which sadly is no longer trading.)  The background was embossed with Spellbinders 'Dainty Dots' embossing folder.  I added a couple of green punch leaves to match the green frame.

Two lucky winners will receive lovely stamps sets which echo this weeks theme.

Dinosaur

Our daughter has a family of three lodging with her, including a delightful six year old who had his birthday a couple of days ago.  He is dinosaur mad, so it was easy to think of a theme for his card. 

It took me a while to find this dinosaur stamp as the last time I used is was HERE for my great nephew's birthday.... in 2013!  There is no brand name on the packet, but I remember buying it at a craft fair in a bargain bucket at the NEC.  I stamped the image on a snippet of white card using Memento 'Tuxedo Black' and coloured it with Promarkers, grounding the dinosaur with pale grey.  The patterned paper was snippets too, from a paper pad from The Range.  I used a die from The Works for the number six, using another snippet of white card.
