Mothers Day Card

Hi Everybody,

Mothers Day will be with us soon and so if you have cards to make for your mum or that you make for others then this is an idea that you may like to try.

I have used the
Card Making Magic Collection 
of dies. flowers, ribbons and pearls,  and I am really with the result

The video will show you how I made this card and I hope that you enjoy it.

I have used some beautiful blue card from Papermill Direct and it is a 255 GSM

Adding the die cuts stacked makes for a really strong base to your frames and the lace effect die cut too. I have added pearls to the edge of my lace and it looks really pretty.

More tomorrow ...

Simply Cards & Papercraft 188 - Altenew Layered Daffodils

Hi Everybody,

This months Simpy Cards & Papercraft has a beautiful gift from Altenew in the shape of a Layered Daffodil Die Set

It's going to be on sale on the 21st February and so if you wanted this set you will need to be quick as it will go very quickly

Altenew is one of my favourite brands and the flowers they create are gorgeous so to get one as a magazine gift is great.

Now I know it says Daffodil but you can do your flowers any colour you wish using coloured card.

And if you don't have the shade you need then you can use white card and colour it with your favourite medium to suit your own designs.

 Just have fun playing with this die set and let the video show you how to assemble the flowers

Ruby Update ...

Hello Everyone,

It's Ruby here today and I haven't been to visit you for some time.

I have still been having a lovely time when we go walking with Vickie and Dougal in the country or on the beach.

And as you can see from my photo I just love the mud and getting dirty.

My mum stands me in the kitchen sink and washes me all over to get the dirt off me.

Sometimes I don't smell very nice but I do scrub up well and then I am nice to be near again.

 I love going under the hairdryer too and having all that warm air ruffle my hair

And then I am clean and tidy, and all ready for a good snooze cuddled up in my blanket  ... till the next time we go walking !!

Bye for now
