2nd arched card (for class 5)

 Having already made a vertical arched card I wanted to try one that sat horizontally. 

This is a Triple diagonal layered arch card ( design  on Pinterest) Its constructed in a different way from the vertical one but still lies flat in an envelope. 


The colours on the card are more seasonal and subtle, and , I think, quite pretty. 


Another arched card (class 5)

 Here's another arched card as promised! This time I photocopied the flower design and increased the size so that everything would match. 


It's a bit bolder than the others but I feel it's quite effective! 

Arched pop up card

 I saw this design on the net and wanted to share it with my ladies. 

It's an arched pop up card with 3 panels. The designs on the front are 3d decoupage ( fussy cut) and I thought it would be nice to have a darker panel in the middle. I really enjoyed making them and I'll be making more of them in the future!

 


Missed one (class 4 )

 Last time the class made a really pretty easel card using craft creations papers. I must have been really busy because I forgot to take a photo of it!

Just wanted to leave a note here to remind me of what we did.

3 section card

 I quite liked the shape of this card. When I found the instructions on the net I had to have a go!


When the outer sections are bought around the front the card folds flat. Nice to have something s bit different!

For Paul's friends birthday

 Made this card for a darts fan who'll be turning 60 in a few weeks. ( Treble top is 60) 


I think it's quite clever really! 

Swing card ( class 3) 2026

 Although I'm going backwards quite a bit this time, design wise, I thought it would be fun to dip into the archives! 

This card took quite a while because I altered the proportions to fit the stamp. ( Wouldn't do that again!!) Even so, I was pleased with the finished result.


I haven't added a greeting because it's suitable for so many different occasions. There's a space on the back for signing. 

Birthdays

 These are cards for Ben ( who often cooks at family barbecues) and Albie...can't believe he's already 8!

A card for Liz

 Helen's cleaner Liz has been going through a tough time health-wise so I made this little Get well card to cheer her up!

Something special

 I was asked to make a card for a little girl ( aged 8) who is dying of cancer. She has had a long and difficult journey. 

Further investigations told us that she was a big fan of Lilo and Stitch so it seemed like an appropriate choice. This is the finished result....

I don't know her. I'll never meet her but I wish her well.

Class 2 2026

 Time for some stitching which everyone loves! It's always too big a project to complete in one session but no one minds finishing at home if it's something interesting.

This time it's a lovely vase of flowers!


It'll work in other colours of course but I think it's a good idea to match the vase and flowers with each other.

Class 1 2026

 It's 2026 and time for new classes! 

I always like to start with something steady and straight forward so I chose these cards. They are very easy and straight forward and I did all of the cutting out!!

Hope they like them!
