I'm back with an 80th birthday card

I won't know if anyone still remembers me or sees this post, but I'm hoping that I can reprise my blog now that I've found how to post again.  Almost a year ago, I was informed that my blog platform was no longer supported, and I believed that I could no longer post, but coming back in through blogger.com I am able to access it - as I am now.  This makes me very happy - as I didn't want to lose all those posts, which in a way, were like a personal diary - albeit only about card making!

So for anyone visiting, here is a new card - an 80th birthday card for an elegant lady of 80.

It is an A4 size folded in half, and there are lots of layers, but the main background is a free image found on google.


If you see this post, I'd love to know so I can thank you!  Please leave a comment and I'll happily respond.

Something Shiny

We all love shiny things I think, so this week's challenge at Less is More is a JOY!  Here is my card, which will add to my Christmas stash. Hard to see the shine, but the next view might be better. I die cut the Joy to the World Wreath by Cheery Lyn, and inlaid it back into the white card front.  It seems to suit the CAS style better this way.  The shiny sentiment is cut from silver mirror card, mounted to self adhesive foam - as you can see in the shiny photo - no messy glue to spoil the effect! While visiting the LIM blog, I realised that my card would also qualify for the current  Muse challenge.   This is the first time I have entered, so here are their rules: Use  the inspiration card as a starting point - strictly speaking, I found my card fits the criteria after I had made it, but the links are - metallic sentiment, scattered berries, and a stitched border to frame the panel. Make  a Christmas or winter-themed card,

The challenge at LIM this week is to use washi - how lucky for me that yesterday I tried CASEing a card I saw on Etsy which used a single wooden button on a small notecard.  I didn't use a wooden button, but a die I've had for ages, with WASHI on cardstock - - woo hoo! So I'm ready early today - Sunday morning here in Australia, with temps in the 30s! Cardstock cut 18cm x 9cm for a top fold 9 x 9cm (3.5" x 3.5") Stamp is a freebie from Cardmaking and Papercraft Issue 165 - love the fonts Die is by Simon Says Stamp - Partial Cut Flowers Button die is a set of 3 by Joy!
