Last months thank you cards

Well we are now on the second day of the New Year and I have spent a little time

today crafting with my friend Ann at her house.  She emailed me this morning,

having spotted the mistake on my New year card, so I hand delivered the card to her this morning, and we did a bit of crafting and had some lunch together.  My sort of day!!

Here is what I made.

3 versions of card

Version1

Version 2

Version 3

These cards are ti give to my customers who placed orders in December.

They have been cased from Debbi Taylor's blog , with her permission.

I have used the colour combo of Crisp Canteloupe, Baked brown Sugar, Pool Party

and Very Vanilla , in various combinations (as you can see from above)

The stamp sets used are Gorgeous Grunge (which we received free at Convention)

and sentiment from Happy Day.  I fussy cut the banner sentiment.

Grunge is not a style that I am used to, so I keep having a go at it,

and am pleased that I did - Thanks Debbi!!

I would like to enter this into Crafting Musketeers Challenge #9 Grunge

Leo's first birthday

Thursday was the first birthday of my niece's son Leo - Chris's grandchild.

here's the card that I made for him.

I used Birthday Basics DSP for the background, Gumball Green and Very Vanilla card stock

I die cut his name and fussy cut the number one.

The sentiment is from Happy Day - would you have guessed?

Very CAS card, but very colourful I thought.

I'm sure that Leo will appreciate it!¬

Happy Day

This is the card I have sent for my Postcrossing - Handmade card swap.

It is the last one until after the summer.

I really enjoyed making this card. 

Simple monochrome Black and White colour combo. 

The flowers are made with White Simply Pressed Clay, 

using the Buttons and Blossoms Simply Pressed Clay molds

and the black one has been coloured with a Stampin' Write Marker. 

I layered the flowers on top of flowers punched with the Boho Blossom punch.

The doily is made using the Large paper Doily Sizzlit die.

The centre has been stamped in Basic Black on white using the Happy Day stamp set

punched using the 2.3/8" scallop circle and layered on top of a Black punched 2.1/2" circle.

The "smile" sentiment is from the same set.

The gingham strip has been stamped using the new Gingham Stampin Around Wheel.

Doesn't this look really effective!

The black leaves were punched using the Bird Builder Punch.

Embellishments - basic Rhinestones.
