Good morning everyone I hope you are all well and enjoying the Bank Holiday sunshine and have some nice things planned. Today I'm sharing a card I made for the ladies at the Craft Group I go to to make a few weeks ago . I tried something a little different no stamping and made a little scene using some dies I had not used before and had been in my drawer for ages unused how could I have never used them !! you all know so much craft stuff.

Hi Carole this is a stunning card I love it. Those dies are gorgeous. I have loads of craft bits that I have never got round to using I think it is a common problem. Have a great day. Take care. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteI think we crafters are all the same - so much stash and dies etc we don't know half of what we have! You've created a lovely scene here. Hope you are well. Hugs Christine xxx

Fab card Carole and hope your enjoying the sunshine..huggles Sue xx
ReplyDeleteWonderful card Carole! It's good sometimes to make a card that mostly just die cut and this has turned out beautifully. Lovely die cut combination and in lovely colours too. I bet the ladies enjoyed making this one.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Craftwork Cards had gone into liquidation :(. That's where I bought my 6" x 6" card blanks from usually so that's not great.
I either didn't know or have forgotten (that's my MS brain for you) that Michael has been ill! Nothing too serious I Hope. Glad to hear he is improving though. Tell him to keep up the good work. Love to you both. Debra x
Good morning Carole, hope you enjoyed the weekend. Sorry to hear your hubby hasn’t been well

I’m actually embarrassed at how much unused stash I have!
