Wedding Box Card


Good Sunday afternoon everyone, hope you are all well and safe x

Today I am sharing a wedding box card I made in the past but have not posted. I have quite a few cards and projects to share with you over time x

The weather here over the past few days has been a bit more bearable thank gawd. I even went out and bought a paper thin duvet coz I could not stand it!!
I am never happy, I love the sun and adore sunbathing but it has been way too hot and muggy, or its way too cold, I hate the cold weather!!! 

Anyway onto my card.





Card I had in my stash along with lace, flowers, stamens, gems and dies.
I have purchased stuff over time from online, craft shows, pound shop, etc.

I look forward to reading your comments & am overwhelmed with how many new followers I have, thank-you to you all xx
I will pop on over and visit you too x

I shall be entering this into the following challenges:-



Love to craft challenge blog - #49 Anything Goes

Masculine Birthday Card

Blimey, how hot and humid is this weather!!!
I love the sun, but I am even struggling. Wish I had a swimming pool, lol.

Today I am sharing a masculine birthday card.
I don't know about you, but I find them so hard to do. I love adding flowers and lace etc, and I find the cards for men you are more restricted.

I have found a masculine card more easy with the help of John Next Door dies and his tips/inspiration.


                                                                    Front of card .
                                             Also used JND frame tutorial & his dies.

Close up

Papers are what I had in my stash. I buy lots of mine from lime tree crafts when at events
(plain card), and in other shops or online when I see a bargain.
