Hi Everybody,
Todays card is also the subject of a video tutorial and is just a fun way to make some Christmas cards.
It is also one that older children may enjoy making for their own friends and it will keep them quiet for a little while.
I had a lovely email off a lady in America who told me that she had made cards similar to this when she was first married ... over 50 years ago .... as they couldn't afford to buy Christmas cards
She said she bought some card and some glitter and made them to give to family and friends ... and she thanked me so much for giving her the memory of that time in her life.
I was very humbled and wrote back to thank her for the lovely email.
It makes what I do so much more worthwhile to get an email like that from a complete stranger.
The one that was most peoples favorite was the blue one.
I created the cloudy sky with Distress inks and the birds on the wire was a little fun idea that I learned from Barbara Gray of
Clarity Stamp
Update on the Voile ... Lots of you have responded with information on where to get the voile so here are some of them...
- Pauline gets hers from a shop called Charlies in Shrewsbury
- Margaret has suggested Dumhelm Mill or the market stalls.
- Ann has named Fleetwood Market for Voile and Lace trim
I promise I will get the website address of the Voile people at the next craft show I visit but if you go to any organised by Sincerely Yours then look out for them there
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx
