Oh well done, you will keep the challenge going all on your own, or at least, you Ellie and Elaine this month. Fab cards, I feel sure I've seen that die set before but can't place it, what make is it? You see ladies, there is someone who probably has more dies than me.:lol:
Each day I say I am going to make some cards today and each day I haven't, I've done something else. It won't be tomorrow either as we are out again.
I can't remember what make it is, it may just be one from the famous book selling site:)
Yes I am afraid I have rather a lot of dies, I have 40 A4 double sided storage trays nearly full, and I am working on it. I have spotted some new dies I want, so roll on next pay day:)
Beautiful cards - I have a similar 'quilt block' die which you have made me remember, must dig it out.... LOL. I have managed to make some cards but they are more of a fit for last month's challenge!!!
Wendy
Wendy, I'm sure we'll find something in them that fits so post them anyway.:lol:
I am trying hard not to buy dies at the moment, I have far too many and need to use all the ones I have. That said, the problem is I find I have certain favourites that do get used over and over again especially some of the TL ones.
Here is the baby card I made using the wreath I concocted from a download and then cut with one of the TL dies. It's the same die and wreath from last month's challenge but with a slight twist - basically, it's me cheating again.:lol: Mind you, it's got pinks and greens and butterflies and sparkle so not too much cheating.;)

Beautiful Susie, and so delicate, I don’t mind that you “cheated” :lol:
Ellie
Oh dear, I’ve got a bit behind !
Love your cards Ellie, especially the first one, very striking. The little bling in the flower centre is a nice touch.
Lillyicon, your quilted cards look great ! Those dies have all sorts of uses for cards :)
Susie, that floral wreath is so pretty, clever you. Of course it fits the prompt
Here’s one from me finally, took inspiration from the little block of lilac in the corner, and the butterfly of course - they are so good for cards !

Beautiful card Alison. I love the butterflies, both the raised ones ,and the stamped ones.
I’ve made one and my inspiration was the little light brown block.

Beautiful cards everyone, love them all really. Like you Susie, I'm trying not to buy any new dies atm because I've got far too many and have hardly used any of them yet
Oops! I bought some yesterday from a certain place Sheila. I'm a member of a club and they give you a free item when the magazine comes out and this time it was a free die but whilst I was looking for it I saw a pile of Memory Box dies, all sentiments that I didn't have, really handy ones. At first I thought I'm not paying that but then realised they'd taken about £37 off the price which made them so cheap and on easy pay, so in my basket they went. But hey, no I'm really not buying any dies!:lol:
Love the butterfly card Alison, like Ellie I do love that mix of stamped and are they die cut ones too?
Love your sunflower card too Ellie and that soft background paper looks lovely. Is it KC by any chance?
:lol: Susie ! Actually I bought myself a set of SU dies and stamps this morning for my birthday, I was looking for ideas on Pinterest and kept seeing the same flowers and dies popping up so googled it, and the rest is history ! I did get a free set of stamps too which was nice :)
Ellie, I recognise that background paper, and love that sunflower stamp. Lovely card :)
My extra butterflies are hand cut from surplus stamping. I do have punches for those butterflies but who knows where they are :lol:
I had to add those to cover up some poor stamping underneath. Must remember to use my stamp positioner !
Some really lovely cards here this month! Love that butterfly one Alison.
Here is Miss As birthday card I made this morning.
‘Noonicorns’ are her favourite at the moment.. as they are every little 4 year old girls I gather!
I’ve made 24 Christmas cards the last couple of days too.
Tut tut!! Girls, you put me to shame. I must look for more Dies to buy, I can’t be outdone:lol:
Susie, you said you weren’t buying anymore Dies, what’s happened to your self will!! :lol:
Alison ,yes you were right about the paper. Susie it’s not KC it’s Anna Marie Designs, called
Blissful Cocoa. Alison and I bought some from a craft fair. I’ve still got a lot left.
Ellie
Beautiful Elaine. She will love it.i like the trail of pink hearts and the sequins.
Is it a shaker card?
Ellie
