BAG STYLE DIORAMA BIRTHDAY CARD

 

Hi and welcome to all my very talented and craft loving friends.

 

I made this card after watching Sam Callcott on You Tube and I am addicted to it now and have made 2 so far. 

I made some mistakes but managed to adjust it so it worked on this one as I wanted to make a larger card than she did.

 




This is a 7"x8" size card.

You can find Sam's You Tube on this 

HERE

I have used lots of different elements from my stash to create this and was very pleased how it turned out.

As I said I made a mistake when making this and was aiming for a 7"x7" size but managed to rectify it so that's why its the size I have used.

My second one is 8"x8" as I learnt by my mistake.

 

Thank you for your visit and precious time.

I really appreciate every visit and wonderful comment you make.

Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
