SNIPPETS BOOKMARK

 

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

I am here with my entry into the Snippets Playground challenge which started yesterday.

I was asked to make a 70th Birthday card and box for my daughter in law's Aunt which I shall show at a later date.

So out of the paper left over I decided to make a book mark for her too.

 



Snippets used after cutting off the bookmark part.
 


The white card on the left is snippets left over from makeing the box for the card.

I cut out the bookmark and glued it to the box card then I added some glitter film which has a sticky back to it to the front.

 My friend gave me a sheet of the glitter film I used.

Rounded the corners and sanded the edges to make it smooth.

The cord and tassle were from an old Birthday card which I saved years ago.

Just added a bead and charm to it.

 

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

ANNIVERSARY CARD

 

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

Is it very dismal where you live we have had 3days of rain here in my part of Kent, I suppose  shouldn't grumble at least it's not snow and icy weather.

Today I have an Anniversary card I made recently.

 


This is a 8"x8" size card.

Which I think you may know is my fave size card to make.

Was diappointed about the Happy Anniversary sentiment as it doesn't show up much.

I cut out my heart with a Tattered Lace Die and glued the edges with the edge of the die that doesn't attach in a cream colour which I cut out and put on the back of the heart if that makes sense to you with my discription.

THROWBACK VALENTINES CARD MADE IN 2016

 

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

I  have no one to make Valentines cards for now so I am showing you one I made in 2016 for my dear hubby. 

Just in case any of my new followers haven't seen it.

 

This was a digi image coloured with promarkers.

It came without the paper top so I designed that myself and cut it out by hand.

Can't remember where the digi image was from.
