More cards.

Two more birthdays at the weekend so had to get the mind working to make some more cards
The green one is for my sister in law's 70th birthday and similar to the other one I made before, but slightly different, it has three layers to it so quite a thick card. I used my nesties to cut the circle out and to make a boarder for it.
The other one is for a long time friend who sadly I don't see very often these days as we live a long way apart.

Card for Great Nephew


Goodness me, it really doesn't seem a year ago since my great nephew was born, but it will be at the weekend.
My friend bought a cow template at the Farnborough show at the weekend and kindly lent it to me, so I have made this card for the little chap.
I brayered the background (having been inspired by the demo on Lavinia stamps on Saturday) used a small grass stamp on the bottom of the card and a bamboo stamp up the side. I punched a few glittery flowers just to add a bit of bling and brightness to it.
I found a packet of goggly eyes I've had for ages and think they are just right.
She is quite a little cutie isn't she?

New stamps


I treated myself to some 'Lavinia' stamps at the Farnborough show at the weekend and just had to have a play!
The samples and demo that Lavinia stamps had on their stall were just lovely and a real inspiration, I just hope that with time I will be able to replicate something similar.
I made this for a couple who are going to celebrate their 55th Wedding Anniversary this week....wow, what a milestone, and they are both so full of fun and life.
