Happy Birthday Matt

I made this card for my eldest son Matthew. Blokiees can be really hard to make cards for so I stuck to the Union Flag. I made a similar card a while ago for a friend but this time I used patterned paper instead of just plain coloured card stock. Simple but quite effective. Thanks for looking :o) xx


Ingredients
Stamp: Personal Impressions Big Sentiments.
BG Papers: Made on the computer and printed out at home.
Dies: Nestabilities Classic Circles.

A Sunny Thank You on a Wet Day

A nice bright sunny card for this very wet windy Tuesday morning (just!). Thank you to Lucy's cards for the sketch, I think I will be using this layout for the many Thank You cards I have to make for all the lovely Christmas prezzies my son received. I am going to put the off-cuts from the card blanks I made for xmas to good use as this card is just 13cm x 7cm, just the right size! I can use my Crafters Companion Envelope Pro (bought with my xmas money) a good try too. I am entering this card into the following challenges: Lucy's Cards Sketch Week Day 3, DYSU Challenge 52 Rainbow of Colors and Rainbow Lady's Challenge 185 Your Choice. Thanks for looking :o) xx
