Good afternoon everyone. Hope you are all well.
Glad you liked my latest Striplet offering. Its still one of my favourite dies.
Now today's offering is my DT creation for House of Cards September Challenge and we hope you will join in by taking your inspiration from the following photo. . . . . . . . .
Soon as I saw it, I thought of a particular First Edition pad I had, Family Ties. As it was a 12x12 pad, I had extra paper left to make a matching gift box too.
Ingredients
White A5 card base
Orange Lidl card
First Edition Family Ties 12x12 pad
SB Decorative Labels 8
SB Labels 28
SB Matting Basics A
Crafters Companion sentiment
Bundled Sage DI
Yellow satin ribbon
Bling
Don't forget to pop over to House of Cards to check out the challenge.
Before I skidaddle, wasn't it great to see our John's fabulous cards alongside Sue Wilson's on C&C at the weekend? Well done John and well deserved. He's going to have a fab time demoing at Ally Pally this coming weekend.
Hope this is the start of a wonderful week for all of you.
TTFN

How pretty!!! I wish I could get a pretty card like that with a matching gift box for my birthday tomorrow:)
ReplyDeleteAng, this is amazing! The colours and patterns are a perfect fit for the photo and I love your intricate little frames, so pretty! Love the matching bag, it's so perfect I would have thought it was store-bought!
ReplyDeleteSilly question, but who is John? big hugs :)
Hi Ang, great colours in this card and bag, like you I like to stock up on Lidl's card stock.
ReplyDeleteI agree, great to see John's cards on TV, I am sure he will be there himself soon.
(Pamellia, check out John Next Door, then you can join us in admiration of his talent)

Good morning Ang, yes back again and haven't I missed out being away last week. I caught one of Sue's shows and saw some of John's cards. To think he might have had goosebumps well, as you said above I'm sure we all think of him as "our John" . I love what you have done for the challenge, a real burst of brightness. Best wishes Jackie
ReplyDeleteAng, these are GORGEOUS! LOVE the paper you used and the colors are so bold and bright! Fabulous! HUGS! :) Mynn xx
