Just For You
Hello there my crafty friends! I selected a piece of cobalt blue card to use as the background. I used the Paws & Kisses stamp from the Pet Pal Stamp set and stamped it in black randomly all over the card. Next I cut two Stained Glass Rectangles in white. I backed the larger one with black card and backed the smaller one with cobalt blue card. I added the matted pair to the centre of the card. I cut Pet Pal Dottie out of white card and used a fine tipped black felt pen to add in his spots and face. I cut a blue shirt and cap and added it to Dottie. I cut a white envelope and added a red heart to it then tucked it into his mouth. I added several red hearts around his head. I cut the Just For You sentiment in black and glued it above his head. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 9" in size.

Enjoy Your Day
Hello bloggers! I embossed piece of white card with the Tidal Sands embossing folder. Using Tumbled Glass Distress ink, I lightly sponged over the top of the embossed design. I cut a white frame using the Double Pierced Circles. I added mounting foam to the back f it then added a piece of white card with a grey strip across it and blue water below. I cut the Fish Shop out of blush card and added a slate grey roof, door and awning to it. I cut the delivery truck out of blue card and added it next to the building. I cut the lamppost out of white and coloured the pole black and added some yellow around the lights. I cut two clouds an glued them above the fish shop. I added the Enjoy Your Day sentiment at the bottom of the card which I cut from the Wordie sheets. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size.
All for now. Sue x

My Favourite Cards Of 2024
Hello crafters and Happy New Year! Here are some of my personal favourite cards from 2024 (that are not Christmas or Halloween related.) There is no particular order to them, just how I happened to come across them in my files. They just sang to me in some way once I finished them. I hope you like them and maybe even have a few on your list of the ones that you liked the best on the blog from the past year too! Looking forward to reading your comments and hearing what you think! Let me know if there was a favourite that I missed from this list too! All for now, Sue x
