New Home

Mum and Dad are all set to move home nest week so I thought I had better get on with this card I have been meaning to make for them. I used a die cut sheet from Jolly (Paper) Nation. I have to say I prefer the images you cut yourself, as the paper is thinner and easier to use. I find you still need to trim the die cut images as there is usually a white halo round each image which I don't like to see, it looks like you have not bothered to cut the out properly. I thought this image very appropriate as they will be moving all their goods including Mum's vast tea pot collection!

I cut the greeting with the Cricut and the card is an 8x8" blue card from Craftwork Cards.

For Ma and Pa!

It is both my mother and father's birthday next month, so I decided to set about making them each a birthday card last night. The above card is for Mum and the three dimensional image is from Paper Nation. It has been double mounted using two sheets of textured card from a DCWV block (Provo Craft) called 'The Far East'.

Due to scanning slides recently I have been reminded of my father's love of fishing over the years. I have been sharing these images with Dad, so these three dimensional papers from the Margaret Sherry Collection, (available from Heritage), seemed to fit the bill.

I used more of the DCWV papers and lots of chalk inks (as usual!).

Here is the finished concertina card, using the all three of the images.
