The handmade cards I receive, especially from the lovely friends I have made through this blog over the years are always the most special that arrive in my post box They never fail to inspire me and why I always like to share them here for everyone else to see and enjoy.
Am I allowed favourites? This card is from Maisie, I think she must have started crafting as soon as she was born, she is a true inspiration and I have followed and exchanged cards with her since she was about seven or eight. This card just makes me smile whenever I look at it, it’s just perfect and says it all!
The next card is from Marc, again a stunner and so simple. He cut the reindeer on his Scan n Cut and then used a stamping platform to stamp the sentiment perfectly in position. I can’t remember which stamping platform he has, I need to ask, because it’s something I think I need to invest in too. This would be an ideal project for my first forays into the world of my own Scan n Cut (thank you soooooooooo much Marc) so you might well see this card again!
This next card is from Kraft Karen, not for me you understand, but for The Monkeys!!!! It’s beautiful. There is so much work to this card, all the delicate, fiddly twiddly cutting out and the subtle glittering and touches of Glossy Accents and the colours …. I just love them. It’s a real treasure and The Boyz loved it as much as me!
This final card isn’t handmade, it’s a charity card from Morrisons for CLIC Sargent but I just loved the simple design which I think you may also be seeing a Fiddle Fart version of in the coming months. The star cut on my Scan n Cut and the tag changed to say You’re A Star perhaps?
These are all wonderful cards. Would love to get your address again (I seem to have lost it) so that I can also add you to my mailing list. I love sending my handmade cards to cardmaking friends. They're the only ones who really appreciate all that goes into making each card.
ReplyDeleteGlad the card arrived safely - I enjoy fussy cutting but LOL that one did present some challenges, but I believe I didn't utter a single norty word whilst cutting it. Glad you liked it and hope you had a great Christmas. Wishing you and the boys a very Happy New Year
