What a summer we've been having! One good thing about not crafting in the conservatory is we have been able to escape the broiling heat as my rented house is relatively cool. And I get to feed the swans and ducks form my window. I'll miss them when I go home.
Look how much they've grown
Here are some of the cards we've been making.
This was a simple card, everyone finished early so we could enjoy a natter. (Memo to self, must try to do this more often). I wanted to use my new lacy panel die as the star of the show. I added ribbon - a bargain roll from China, which we coloured with Colour Cloud. I real life it matches better than it looks on this pic.
Next up, a pair of tunnel cards. It was a marathon of die cutting, but everyone was pleased with the finished cards, even if some of us had to reconvene to complete the final assembly. However as that entailed wine and chocolates, it was no bad thing 😀
After all the hard work making the tunnel cards we had an easier week, making this Christmas card, although there was a birthday version for those for whom it's too early for Christmas!!!
We letterpressed the embossing folder, and did a bit of tricky hand cutting to get the very narrow silver matting layers, but it was pretty straightforward. Loving my new poinsettia dies.
Happy crafting
