Mundy school show.

 This year I entered 3 projects into the horticultural show at Mundy Street and 2 of them came first. 

Sam made a tea bread and hot a first for that! Didn't we do well! 

Class 11

 This week we made a framed centre panel card. It's possible to use any subject and this makes a nice light card! 

I picked out some of the detail in the background paper by colouring it in the same colour as the butterfly. 

Flippin men ( class 10 )

 As fathers day approaches it's good to find something original got and this seemed to fit the bill!

Daisy ( class 10)

 Time for a bit more stitching. I thought this daisy design was really lovely but I forgot to take a picture of the card.

This is the best I can do!

tea bag folding ( class 9 )

 It's ages since I last did any of this with kaleidoscopic papers. I really enjoyed these projects they make such attractive gifts! 

Lucie's mum

 This card is for Lucie's mum. She shares a birthday with Emily

A card for Paul

 Recently Paul's taken more interest in bird watching so I thought this card would be appropriate. I used a Woodware stamp for it. ( I love woodware designs and I've got quite a few of them. 

Emily's card

This is my card for Emily this year...

She loves gnomes so I'm hoping she'll like it! 

New from the old

 I still have a few craft creations papers including the one I used for this card. I cut the background away and used the picture to create a 3d box card.. I think it looked really good! 

A few for the May fair

 Here are a few of the cards that I made for the next community fair ( May 2026)

Garden Gnomes

 Here are 4 cute cards made from a kit by Katy Sue designs. What's not to like?

2 strip cards ( class 8)

 Here are 2 cards made from strips. The first is called a "Staggered "z" fold card and the second one is a "Double vision card"

The first includes quite a lot of measuring but I think it's worth the work involved. The second takes 2 papers that are both the same and is a good way of using oddments. 

Tower cards ( class 7)

 Here are 2 tower cards I've made using instructions on the net.

Easter ( class 6)

 Although we don't usually make Easter cards I thought this rabbit one could just as easily be for an anniversary. Wanted to make an Easter basket too to help me to remember the pattern. 

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!

Valentine 2026

 I made these little bees as love bugs this year for valentine's day.. just for fun!

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! 

Peter 2026

 This card is for Peter. It's my design for 2026. I really like these eclipse cards!
