Lovely cards ladies

I love that Elaine, was the Christmas pud a recycled bit, it is so cute? I just love stitched dies they add such a wonderful finish to a card.

Here's mine, another quickie because I have three to make for the first week of January and I still need to do the big sort out of dies and card blanks and envelopes etc... before I can use my stamps and do some colouring.

Yes the pudding is from a card from last year. I made 7 out of one card!

Thanks ladies but it isn't what I want to be doing. I just happened to see the floral bit and loved it and tweaked it and then found the royal blue mirri card but I wanted to use a die cut sentiment but couldn't spend time searching so printed instead. I need to get the sorting and labelling done to really start enjoying my crafting again. But I appreciate your kind comments anyway and you know me and digi stuff, I do love to play.

7 out of one card is brilliant Elaine, re-cycling at its best.

Beautiful cards Susie, love the florals, and lovely blues, you’re so good at using digi elements, it never even occurs to me to use the computer when making cards !

Lovely cards Susie, that floral border is stunning - reminds me of delft blue porcelain. You will definitely be in a happier place once all your sorting and labelling is done, and you can reap the rewards of all that organisation!

Here's my first card of the year and my take on the prompt - I interpreted the window frame with the divider die, woodgrain texture for the outline frame, stacked elements inspired by those stacked stones, and a pop of blue for the sentiment.

Oh Nat your cards are just beautiful. So very impressive and something to aspire to.

[Mystik Nat]

Wow, what a compliment, Elaine. Thank you very much.

[Susie.A]

I'd have to second that Elaine, Nat your cards have such a beautiful and distinctive style. I just love the way you've used the divider die too.

[Susie.A]

I was so touched to receive this beautiful card after Jez died so suddenly from Elaine and since it has blue in it, it definitely fits the bill here. She has incorporated the blue, texture, animal (plus paw prints), the layering, bright vs. dark all with a lovely sentiment. Thanks for the kind thought and beautiful words inside Elaine, I hope you don't mind me sharing it.x

Nat, wow to your card, it’s beautiful, and I agree with Elaine. Love that divider die, and the florals

Elaine, what a lovely card, and just right for Susie, and as she says it fits all the prompts

Ellie, love yours too, I can’t work out how you’ve done it. Love the texture, and the little bits of bling.

[Mystik Nat]

Aw thank you for all the lovely comments. xx

Susie, what a beautiful card to receive, so sorry about the loss of Jez. But Elaine has definitely done him proud, and found the perfect sentiment. x

Really love the texture of your card Ellie, and the shade of blue and wildflower pattern really reminds me of cyanotype prints.

I love dandelion clocks on cards Ellie. Love all the texture going on there, is it a pre-embossed linen card or part of the design? Either way it's just lovely.
