On Sunday, I went to a #CardMaking class with a friend, and our teacher - Hilary - did a 10 for £12 (we tipped her more) so I'll be sharing each one when I can

A birthday card I made for a family member - I wasn't feeling it to start with, but then it all came together nicely.

#CardMaking #Crafts #PaperCraft #HandmadeCards
A side-fold card. A bright teal base, followed by a grey pattern, then a portrait of 2 ducks swimming with 4 ducklings - visible through a circular cutout with lily pads and reeds. Above, is a silver embossed "Happy Birthday" stamped on a teal tag, with silver cord looped either side, along with 2 gems, coloured teal and peach.

There's something fun and calming about going through my cardstock and DSP collection, to find complimentary colours and patterns for project ideas.

#CardMaking #HandmadeCards #Crafts #PaperCrafts #StampinUp
Various DSP (Designer Series Paper), that includes subtle patterns, and bold patterns of Koi and pond lilies, holographic card, and coloured cardstock (pastel pink, peach, light cyan and dark cyan). Another set of DSP of subtle patterns, cutout frames of leaves and flowers, and cardstock (pastel pink, pastel green, dark cyan).

A card I made for a friend, for Christmas. I bought this #CuttingDie set specifically to use for her - because she loves these gnomes & gonks.
A square card. Cardstock base is dark blue, with holly stamped in black ink on the top-left and bottom-right. Next layer: A scalloped, textured, blue frame, backed with brown cardstock. Top layer: A gnome - with a large grey beard that hides their body - sits barefoot, holding a white mug of hot chocolate, and there's a gold star on the mug. The gnome wears a large, pointed hat that covers their eyes. The hat has light and dark blue stripes with a white snowflake pattern. Behind the gnome, is a spray of foliage of the following colours: gold, brown, light teal, and dark teal. A small brown cord loops twice on both sides of the gnome. Same design, but opens on a diagonal fold - like an easel - being held in place with a raised placard which reads "Merry Christmas", with a couple of gold gems. The gnome and the frame remain upright when folded. The inside of the card is lined with brown paper.

I'm in love with this #DieCut, it's so detailed and fun to experiment with. I think this die cut design is from #StampinUp, but I managed to find one cheaper elsewhere.

#Crafts #CardMaking #HandmadeCards #PaperCraft
Top fold, portrait card. Middle fold, easel design. Light green cardstock base, with metallic green and silver foliage cardstock on top. Large stamp die cut in green cardstock. White cardstock embossed with a leaf pattern. A brown sled with green, silver foliage, and red gem berries decorating the top. A red bow sits atop the foliage and leads down to a pair of white ice skating boots, with red laces.

I'm trying to remember to share the cards I've made, here is another I made to give to the people that looked after my late uncle.

#Crafts #CardMaking #DieCutting #StampinUp #HandmadeCards
A portrait card with a black base. Layered with a shiny peach, and silver foliage patterned card. 2 square frames, one peach, one orange, layered on top of each other at an angle, with floral patterned paper inside them - the colours are peach, orange, purple, green, and black. Below the squares, is a black placard, with "Thank You" with peach embossing, and orange foliage die cuts, with purple gems, framing the opposite corners.

I'd like to get into the habit of sharing the cards I make in my free time. I made this one for my mum, to give to the staff that looked after my late uncle.

#Crafts #CardMaking #HandmadeCards
A landscape, top fold card. The base card is pastel green, layered with a metallic patterned paper that's moss green with silver foliage. A pastel pink "Thank You" sits on top of a white rectangle card, dotted with 3 green gems. The white rectangle card is surrounded with various pink, green, and white foliage die cuts.

This week, I stayed in Edinburgh for 3 nights, and I'm so pleased with these photos I took at the Holyrood Palace.
A pathway curving to the right, through a large area of well-kept grass. Tree branches can be seen at the top and sides of the image, and a few people walking on the path, away from the camera. A vast area of well-kept grass with a forked path through it. The right path leading to a large, rectangular palace, 4 windows high. The left leading around the side of the building, with trees and hills to the side of it.
