Spot the Difference

Below are a card I made recently for a swap - theme was "Shall We Dance", followed by a card I made back in 2011, for another card swap where the theme was "Strictly Dance"

A seriously neglected blog in 2016.

Here are some cards that I have made this year, thanks to Hunkydory, Crafter's Companion, Craftsuprint, Joanna Sheen and Kanban

Having said that this first card is from an idea in a magazine and I used paper from an old road map book, plus some stamps and die cuts.

The map is from Craftsuprint but I altered the colour to co-ordinate with the waterfall mechanism, which is also from Craftsuprint.  Sentiment left blank, card in emergency supply box.

A combination of Hunkydory Little books topper and a background out of a lucky dip job lot of background card A4 sheets

Kanban

Hunkydory topper and background, only the greeting is from craftwork cards.

Julia Watts Homework

Here is another card I have made using the homework bits I received from Julia Watts.

Spellbinders Card Creator - Wonderful Mum

Female Birthday

Liked the contrast in the lilac and white card I had made recently, that I made it again for someone who is losing their sight - so that it could be seen and felt by them.

September Card Swap

Theme Monochrome - any colour - so I went with shades of purple and white.

Used a number of my recent purchases of Spellbinder dies.

So used the new large square dies with the pricked edges - have used them on every card since I bought them.

1)  Double Pierced Squares from Spellbinders - Sue Wilson
2) Trailing Ivy - Finishing Touches - Sue Wilson
3) Classic Adorned Squares - Sue Wilson
4) Contemporary Squares - Shapeabilities - Spellbinders
5) Linen Embossing Folder - Sue Wilson
6) Heartfelt Creations - Arianna Blooms die set

New Year's Resolution

Still going strong - with making cards out of the "to do" large box of card ideas.

Here I have used up some of Joanna Sheen papers and toppers.

Even got into my peel-off collection

Jolly Nation (Paper Nation) Decoupage Sheet Used

I had several of this black dress decoupage printed off - so keeping my New Year's resolution of using up what I have already got in my craft stash.  Not sure were it was downloaded from.

Craftsuprint freebie - came with a craft magazine.

Not strictly paper-crafting but it comes the set of two cards for each twin.  For other stamping ideas, go to www.craftychaffinch.blogspot.co.uk or www.sparrowtweet.blogspot.co.uk
