And a matching diamond folded card

For a bit of a change a diamond folded card.

Using the same elements as the matching box.

Except that I replaced the trees with snowflakes which I inked using platinum ink for a bit of contrast & depth.


I'd like to enter this for the Cute Card Thursday challenge 40 - revisiting challenge 123 Texting crazy.


and A Spoonful of Sugar Anything Goes challenge 131


and Fussy and Fancy's Christmas without Red & Green challenge


and Totally Papercraft's Untraditional Christmas - no red or green

Why can't you photograph Purple?

What is it about the colour purple? Why is it soooooo difficult to photograph? It looks blue/not purple when photographed!! OK I'm rubbish with the camera & it's not a top of the range but that is no excuse ............................. But I've tried :-)

2 cards for the purple challenge on Hels blog - they are purple Hels! :-)

Diamond folding again

Just a couple of diamond cards for friends. This time made out of double sided 12x12. One just with stamped sentiments, the other with an added bloom.

I've added close ups as well this time.

Busy day yesterday!

Well I had a very busy & enjoyable day yesterday. I taught the class at Sticky Fixers Craft Club as Maddy was not well enough to do hers. I did a diamond fold card & we made an envelope as well. Everyone did really well & produced beautiful cards.

Examples that I made in class.

My friend Val & I came back to my house & did a bit of crafting, had lunch & looked on the www. We then collected another friend Joan & we went off to Halifax to Gorilla Crafts to their workshop that we go to once a month.

This is what we made at Gorilla Crafts

I loved doing the flower - made out of double sided paper cut into strips & woven & twisted & stuck - they are very effective. You can make 1 large one or 4 small one's out of 1 12x12" paper.

Got home very late & consequently didn't want to get up this morning - this crafting can be hard work!!
