This week we are making a floating diamond card. The size is easy to adapt...each panel is half the width of the depth of the card.
I think it would make a good mother's day card too. The main thing to remember is that the picture on the left ends up at the front when the card is folded.
Here's the card that I made for my son in law's birthday...he's a bit of a cricket fan.
Here's just a few of the cards that I made for the community fair in May...
Seems to have been a busy month!
This week's sample is a corner fold card (instructions on Pinterest)
It was good to use a D.S.P. ( double sided paper) as a card base for a change and one of the stamps I've been wanting to use for ages. The topper is a bit bigger than the one in the original design but I don't feel it looks any worse for it.
I'm planning to make more of these in the future!
This week we all made tea bag folding cards.
The one on the right is made up of 16 pieces. What we realised was, how important it was to be absolutely accurate! It made a change and created a nice effect though.
I wanted to make something different this week and found this style of card on the net. Added a few little mice taking tea to ring the changes...
It folds down flat to fit in an envelope.
I don't usually make many cards for Easter but wanted to turn these dies into daffodils!
I thought putting them on an egg shaped just finished it off.
I treated myself to a pretty little die recently and thoroughly enjoyed using it! Here's the result...
I copied the design from the internet because I loved it so much!
I thought a suspended tent fold card would be just right for this little duckie!
Hope it'll brighten someone's day!
This week's project is 3 bookmarks.
An origami version...
A bookmark card..
Here are some of the stitched (by one needle or another) items I've made over the 2020's...
Busy busy busy!
I joined a craft group just before Xmas and am really enjoying the change.
Recently we did a bit of stitching and I learned a lot.
It set me off and I made the 2nd one for a pen friend!
Recently had another go at quilling. It's not something I'm really keen on but I really enjoyed it! (A change is as good as a rest I suppose)
...a sort of revision piece.
Here's a Silver Anniversary card I've just finished.
This was once a Craft Creations paper but is now available from Katy Sue designs.
My grandson Albert is 7 this year (2025) so I made him this birthday card...
His is the first one this year. Just 4 more to go!
Here are 3 cards I've recently made for my friend Trish.
One for a friend of hers and the others for her grandsons.
Here are a couple of cards I've just finished.
Nice to do something different!
