Flowerpot Birthday

A similar, but slightly different, card to one from a recent post.

I had enough brown quilling paper left for another pot - I must have more in the house but didn't have any to hand so decided to make one pot a feature of this card which was for a Crafty Bunch birthday.

Flowers made from the kit from JJ Quilling.  I have mounted the pot & flowers on some X-Cut dies and some matching pearly paper which are all layered on to a lovely shaped card from Craftwork Cards.

Some Anita's gems added in the corners and an SU stamped sentiment punched out and mounted on further SU punched labels.

I am now off to glitter the ongoing card that I might post soon!

Sunflowers

Well, what a strange week! Apologies for lack of posting I have been busy but also a bit dazed as I agreed to move to a new job last Thursday and moved today - it still all seems a bit sudden and weird!

Anyway, I did manage to make this cheery card the other day. It is using the new papermania 'build a sunflower' stamp set. Each set of petals are stamped a couple of times so it builds up a nice flower. The check paper is from a previous papermania set.

Added some anitas gems in the cut out corners for a bit of sparkle too. The ribbon came with the paper in a goody bag, along with the buttons which I've tied a little bit of co-ordinating thread through. The yellow card used for layering is from my stash.

Will be back with blogging more regularly now hopefully. Had this evening off as a treat after an emotional and stressful week and drank red wine and ate chocs - it's been great!

For any Crafty Bunchers also reading this I am doing my bit by buying Mr Kipling apple pies (8 for the price of 6 - £1.25) this week in Morrisons! I look forward to however we are going to use the foil trays!

Not made as many cards this week but made this for my friends birthday.
It is on a 7.5" square card which is a fab size for something a bit different.
It was made with a selection of pieces from the very yummy craftwork cards goody bag - so many great sayings I didn't know which one to pick!
I added a little punched flower to the centre of the spotty flowers before adding the central card candy.
I also finished off by adding some tiny Anita's gems for a spot of glitz!
