The stems of the flowers were created by pricking holes and then stitching using the Linen Thread, finally I add faux stitching to the flowers using the White Gel Pen, and edged the card with Baja Breeze.

Punch Art Flowers!!
Another family birthday today....my sister-in-law Jill, Happy Birthday Jill! India and I made this card on Sunday taking some inspiration from a bought birthday card! We used the Fancy Flower and 5 Petal Flower Punch, but to make our large flower, punched 5 1 3/8" circles and then centred with a 1 3/4" circle. Paper was a mix from the designer paper series in Brights and Subtles. Leaves punched with Build a Blossom punch, and wonderful buttons to accent the centres of the flowers.
The stems of the flowers were created by pricking holes and then stitching using the Linen Thread, finally I add faux stitching to the flowers using the White Gel Pen, and edged the card with Baja Breeze.

21st birthday celebration!!
Today, is my nephew Sam's 21st Birthday!!! It's hard to believe he is 21 as he was just a baby at our wedding! We are all very proud of Sam and all he has achieved. This is the card that India and I made for him.
Base card is Night of Navy, with a cherry cobbler mat. Letters and numbers diecut using Big Shot and new alphabet dies, placed onto vanilla cardstock which we have colour spritzed with crumb cake,
Finally, we wrapped some linen thread around the very vanilla cardstock and finished with 2 coordinating buttons from the regals collection. Hope you have a great day Sam!

Sorry for not posting!!!
Hello, Apologies that this is my first post in May! Our house is a little stressed out at the moment, Alex in mid A Levels, India mid GCSE Exams, I am due to find out this week when I am being made redundant, so poor Dave is the only sane one amongst us! However I did manage to make a card last week, for my dear friend Anne, whose birthday it was.
I used the lovely stamp set, Fast and Fabulous which is a Level 2 hostess set, and the colours, so saffron, and more mustard with garden green. My trusty stamp a ma jig was used for the 2 step stamping.
On that note I must also say a big thank you to the 6 lovely ladies who came to my class last Monday night, we had a great evening, and they all created beautiful pocket tote bags complete with 4 cards using the Trendy tree set.... I have family birthdays coming up in the next week and the wedding anniversary of some friends, so hopefully will be back to share those cards with you...once I've made them!
