Beautiful Elaine. I didn’t notice it at first .
Ellie
Neither did I, until you mentioned it and why do we always notice these things after posting a photo.:rolleyes: It is a beautiful card Elaine, I love the colours and those pretty turquoise pearls. Does it fold flat, how do you post it without it getting damaged?
Yes it folds flat Susie. This one will be hand delivered though.
Thanks all.
That's pretty Elaine. I love the pop of blue against the grey tones.
Very pretty Elaine
Here’s one with embossing texture and glitter at the top.

That is just great Ellie, I love the way you've done the keyhole very clever. That new embossing folder is coming in handy isn't it.
Fab card Ellie, love the embossing folder and are those buildings printed on the paper or are you a secret artist ?
Gorgeous cards Alison and Elaine
Thanks ladies.
I wish Alison. It’s from a 12x12 cardstock pad. It’s called Love Letters, no makers name, and
I think I bought it from TK max years ago.
Ellie
It's looking a bit empty on here so I'm going to cheat a bit as I've made this card before, but I like it so made it again and sent it to my niece for her birthday. But it has texture. I need to make an anniversary card next so I'll see what I can come up with.

Very pretty cards Ellie and Susie.
I made a variation on a theme for my friends 40th birthday. Its very similar to the one I did the other day but it is a bit different so ill post it later when it's downloaded from the cloud.
Love the new embossing folder and card Ellie I like the key hole
So pretty Susie
Lovely card. I like the sentiment.
Ellie
Here is my card.
Lovely card Susie, love the glitter and neutral shades.
Elaine, think you forgot to attach your picture !
I can see it. It’s lovely .i do like the colours of the silk flowers, so pretty.
Ellie
Such a lovely card Elaine and I do love that paper with the beautiful touches of turquoise, the pearls and flowers set it off perfectly.
Alison, I think you were looking as I was loading it. What happened was I loaded an unedited photo and it was the wrong way up, so I was deleting it and loading a revised photo at about the time you commented. Lol
Ah, I’m not going mad then. Except I’m sure I replied again later on yesterday !
It’s a lovely card, and I too like those papers, lovely colours, I love variations on teal/aqua.
Is the circular happy birthday a stamp ?
A textured background.

Beautiful Ellie, I love the way you've picked out the blue in the background and sentiment.
Love that cards Ellie. Really like the background. Nat did well this month! I am using my embossing folders more than I’ve ever done!
Yes, Alison, it is a stamp. An old Stamping Up one. Then I used my stitched Circle dies to cut it out. It looks like a weird tall card but it’s 6” square! Go figure!
Anyway..here is another I made today as a thank you to a party invite we have received that is in July. It’s an A6 card and I used an old MME paper pad, a Polka Dot pieces Stamping Up set for the flower and the bird and my trusty stitched dies again..and, of course, my embossing folder for texture.
The paper for the two earlier cards is a Prima one called Bella Teal and the SU stamp set was a hostess one called Happiest Birthday Wishes. You might be able to find it on a used selling site?
That’s a lovely card Elaine. Like how the colours go well together.
Ellie
lovely cards :D
like the stamp Ellie and the blues you used
Pretty pp eLAINE love the birdie and the double circle I think I will cardlift is that what you say instead of scraplift if I may ?:rolleyes:
Of course Denise.
Thank you both
Such a pretty card Elaine and I love the little bird. The stitched circle dies add a great touch to any card I think, that extra bit of interest.
I have the latest card. This was a commission - my friend Linda asked me to make a card for Dean for their wedding on Saturday

I hope they like it
Oh that's lovely Sheila, I do like those pretty hearts with all the different embossing.
Very pretty card Sheila
Lovely card Sheila, you have a nice collection of embossing folders :)
love the hearts and card Sheila
I've just finished an anniversary card and I was pleased with it until I saw the photo, the wording has come out what looks like blue to me, despite it being grey, very odd. Hubby loves this and suggested I make a few for up and coming anniversaries which I think I will but will have to get the colouring sorted first. It might be better to go with a very pale grey or black but I loved doing the heat embossing it was scary trying to position the stamp each time because I couldn't really see where the image was going being clear, but it's turned out fine. See what you think you can be honest. It's blue to my eyes. Of course it was their Sapphire Anniversary last year, I could pretend I'm continuing on with the theme of blue.:lol: It looks more grey on the card so it will have to do.

Love this card Susie, and I like the contrast in the Happy Anniversary, really makes the whole thing pop. Beautiful
Oh thank you Sheila, you don't think the lettering looks an odd colour? I even think black might have been better.
love your card Susie it looks bluey to me think DH might be right you need to make a batch beautiful design ad so neat well done
Thanks Denise, I think it's bluey too. It has to go although I will send this to someone but I've had this die for ages and I don't think I've ever used it. It will be going on a LO in my niece's album but it will have to fit the photo's on the page somehow because it says With Love, I'll figure it out though. When I've corrected this I'll let you all see what you think.
Really lovely card Susie.
The big lettering looks pale grey, and the happy anniversary looks dark blue to me.
But like Sheila said I like the contrast of colours.
