Pola Bears

 Here is another 3d card that sits flat in an envelope. 

This time I die cut the images and coloured them in. I was really pleased with the finished effect and managed to use all 3 bears! 

Balcony card ( class 18)

 Sometimes it's nice to make a flat card that displays as a 3d one and balcony cards are just the thing! 

This one is based on a card I found on the net. I used a  stamp set with little gnomes which were ideal for this size of card. I added some trees at the back to enhance the 3d look. 

Community fair October 2026

 This is the month to begin selling Xmas cards  (hopefully) and I've been working really hard on my collection this year! Here are some of them...

Some of them are completely flat for cheaper posting but there are several decoupage ones too. 

Decoupage ( class 17 )

 Due to ill health last month's second class had to be postponed. It DID mean that the next class was already ready to go on 24th September. 

We made 3 cards using a Marianne decoupage paper. We made a square recess card, a long thin card from 2 strips joined at the top and a final more traditional card using only the decorated strip. 

 We managed to finish 2 of them and took the last one home to complete. Its hard to get these papers nowadays so it was a good opportunity to give them a go!

Button robin (class 16)

 Although she added this to my last post I want to make this post so that the robin card stands out.

He was such a joy to make and didn't take as long as some of the stitched cards I've made in the past. He's just a bit different. 

Xmas cards 2026

 Here are my Christmas cards for this year so far ..

I've been working like crazy all through August and I'm not finished yet!

Alice is 6!

 This is the card I've made for Alice this year using chat gpt. Helen took the photo and it's too good to waste!

Happy Birthday Alice!
