I'm really determined to use up some of my stash of papers this year! To that end, I made this floating gatefold card using some old Dovecraft papers.
The card is held closed with a belly band but when it's opened the 2 sections inside the centre slide across. I think its really pretty and quite easy to do!
I made a smaller version later because I loved the card so much!
It's always nice to make something different and to that end I made this card.
It's called a Tee pee card and is a sort of triangular pyramid shape. I decorated it with red and white gingham paper and origami hearts.
Although it's a 3d structure it folds down and fits flat into an envelope.
It's quite some time since I made any beaded cards and that may be the reason why I enjoyed making these so much!
Sometimes the older ideas are the best!!
I wanted to start the new year with something different so I chose feathers as a theme.
For the black card I made the feathers myself using patterns from the Internet. I found the inspiration for the card on pinterest.
The stamped card was made using an image from a magazine. I coloured it with pencils then added gems to embelish it. I like to use a hexagonal card occasionally as it makes a nice change from a square one.
Finally I made a small rocker card from circles.
I always think its hard to leave a rocking card alone!
My Grand-daughter Rose was 18 in December too. Here is the card I made for her:
I was honoured today to take part in a service of remembrance at Loscoe. My grandson is a member of the cubs and took part in the procession. Our local W.I. also attended and laid a wreath. I wanted to share the photos taken there of this very special occasion.
