I have made a circular easel card by folding a piece of card then cutting the circle with the die slightly overlapping the crease.

Easter money wallet

This is my design team post for the challenge over at movingalongwiththetimes

I love this topper. It's perfect for a little something for Easter especially for us in Wales and the daffodils are perfect to compliment it.

I have cut a piece of card stock and folded it in half, I then cut an orange piece slightly smaller and folded that. I used the Tonic Trellis circle die to cut into the orange card. I added a yellow circle  before my topper by Lili of the Valley. I die cut the three daffodils with Leane Creatief dies.

Train Christmas card

The last couple of days I have lost my mojo so I had a little look for inspiration today. 

This is what I have just completed. 

I have never made Christmas cards early enough, so maybe this year I won't have to rush them!!

I have covered my 8x8in white card with spotty card from Anna Marie. I rounded the corner of the card stock and my card blank. I added a piece of white card on the bottom and then added a heart embellishment where the two papers meet. I die cut the train with a Marianne die. I have cut various dies to add to the train. The boat, duck and rattle are with Sue Wilson dies. The candy cane, lolly and gingerbread man are Xcut dies. I cut a white oval using a Presscut die and attached it to my card.I die cut the Merry Christmas in red and green card and slightly offset them when sticking them to the white die cut oval.

Another birthday card for my Father-in-law. He loves our puppy, So I decided to print a photo of her to add to the card.

Grandpa birthday card

I wanted to put something different on a card for my sons to give their grandpa. His hobbies are model trains and rugby but I always put them on his cards. I have used this die to make a card for a lady and I wondered if it would work on a male card. I hope he will like it.

I  have made a 8x8in white easel card.  I matt and layered the top and the bottom with blue card and white embossed card. I embossed the white card with a Sue Wilson embossing folder. 

I have used a Xcut die to cut the various elements for the family tree. I printed the names before cutting them out with the heart die. I also printed the family name before die cutting it. I have used a punch for the leaves because it was so much quicker than cutting the leaves with the individual die in the family tree set. 

 I have printed a sentiment and die cut it with a Tonic rectangle die and then die cut the next size in the nesting set in blue and then one in brown. I attached the rectangles together with double sided tape and the attached them to the card base with sticky foams so they will act as a stopper for the top of the card.

Mother's Day card

A Mother's Day card. 

This is a quick and easy card but always popular.

I have matt and layered my 8x8in white card with purple card and white embossed card. I embossed the white card with a Crafts Too embossing folder. I die cut the shoes with a Tattered Lace die and the flourishes with a Cheery Lynn die. When making cards like this I cut the coloured card, (in this case the purple card) to size then cut the die cut embellishments in the centre of the square to save on card. I printed a sentiment and die cut it with a Go Kreate scalloped oval die and then cut the next size in the nesting set in purple to mount the sentiment. I completed my card with flat backed pearls.

High top card

Firstly please excuse the poor photo. I took it quickly with my phone yesterday because this was a quick make because a neighbour didn't give me much notice.

I simply covered my 8x8in card with spotty paper from Anna Marie. I die cut the high tops with  a Die -namics die in light blue and white card, I printed a sentiment and die cut it with a Xcut scalloped circle die, I die cut the next size in the set in blue to mount the sentiment. I completed my card with flat backed pearls.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
