70th Floral Fest

Good morning everyone, hope that you are all ok.

Yes, get the smelling salts, I'm back again for the 2nd time in a month 😁.

Had a bit of free time as having a couple of chill days as the AF has decided to play up again, after 2 years of behaving 😔.

I wasn't sure if I had already posted this card previously, so apologies if I have. It was in my unblogged folder but that doesn't guarantee it.

It was made sometime ago as Davey had asked for a 70th card for a lady we used to work with, who he still keeps in touch with. The lady likes gardening so I went down the floral route.

Ingredients

White and purple card

SB Nesting ovals dies

SB Bitty Blossoms dies

SB Jewel Flowers and Flourishes dies

SW Catkins Stems dies

SW Trailing Ivy dies

SW Spring Foliage dies

Britannia Rose die for the fuchsia

LH Number stamps

Gems and pearlage

As you know by now, I do like a floral card and this was well received by Davey and the lady.

Funnily enough, I have a few 70th cards to make for this year too. Time certainly does fly by.

Well, I shall go and get a cup of tea, whilst Mr D has popped out and isn't here to tell me off about getting up.

Hope that you all have a fabulous Sunday and a nice week ahead.

MAWTT April Challenge

Good morning folks.

Hope that you are all well and that you have had a very happy and peaceful Easter.

My Easter Sunday did not go quite as planned with a 6am gallbladder attack. Fortunately, this one did not necessitate a trip in an ambulance but it is the 3rd attack since Christmas ......... prior to that I hadn't had an attack for over 12 months. I cannot begin to describe the pain involved.

Anyhoo, I'm back today with a card for the MAWTT DT for April's challenge which is .......

FANCY FOLDS

Love seeing unusual shaped cards, especially when they fold flat. With postage costs going up again today, the flatter the better for me.

I think I made this card for a magazine commission (it was a while back) and the above pic is the rear of the card, showing how the pop out section on the front works.

Very simple to make but very dimensional yet folds flat.

Ingredients

Magazine kit papers and sentiment

Gold mirror card 

White card

Circle nesting dies

I hope that this photo shows the structure of the card and the pop out centre.

Thankfully, I have a couple of days off now so hopefully, the gallbladder will settle itself down before I'm back at work.

Don't forget to pop over to MAWTT to have a look at the other DT creations and it would be great if you could join in with a card of your own. 

See you again soon and hopefully it won't be another month.😀

Ps...... I did mean to say, thank you for taking time to comment. If you do, can you please add your name as I'm still getting ones labelled anonymous and then I haven't a clue who's kindly left them. 😊.
