Well its Thursday, so here's another Beautiful Pleated Card

Karen's Beautiful Pleated Card

Good Thursday Morning Ladies,
 (It is actually Thursday isn't it)?!  I feels right as I saw Pat yesterday so we are all back to normal now!  It was lovely to just sit and chat for an hour or so, we had a lot of catching up to do. It's just a shame Sue wasn't with us, she was on Granny duties today, which means she was having great fun.

Now onto today's gorgeous card, Our Karen went to have a look at my Tutorial on YouTube and decided to have a go, Karen I love the beautiful paper you have used and how you have matched the gorgeous lace perfectly with your card, your sentiment works perfectly too.  Such an amazing card, every element is perfect.
Thank you so much for sharing it with us Karen,  Tricia will absolutely love it. Xxx

I will be looking for some ideas for 'Frugal Friday' today, I have a couple of ideas already.  I would love to hear your any ideas you have too.

How are your challenge cards coming along? I can't wait to see what you all come up with. 

Janet emailed yesterday, she is still feeling weak and exhausted, fingers crossed she can turn the corner soon and start feeling brighter, we all miss you immensely my lovely xxxx

Val, I hope you arrive home safe and well today, looking forward to hearing all about Croatia xxx

Anne, how a wonderful, relaxing time xxx

Have a lovely day ladies, wrap up warm though, I think its going to be chilly, I will admit that we had our heating on on Tuesday evening, I can't bare being cold while sitting around, I don't mind cool bedroom though.

Sending love and hugs to all of you,
Sandra

  1. Good morning Sandra and all in the cafe' today.
    Love the card Karen. Pretty paper and the strip covering the middle is very nice, also a very lovely colour used. She will love the card.
    Janet- so wish you feeling better soon, missing you. Sending you some healing hugs, hope you get them xx
    Went to bed at three and already up so this day will be fun. Luckily I only got some small jobs to do before I can get back to do the CC and perhaps think of something for tomorrow. Hoping for a walk but the weather is horrid so maybe later. Hope you all have a nice day whatever you are up too. Love and hugs to all, Maria xxxx

  4. Ooh! It's a card of mine! Thank you SANDRA for showing it I enjoyed making it It was the tutorial that prompted the question re paper cutters, to be able to cut the shape accurately etc My first attempt was in card - big mistake 120gsm is all you need and the patterned paper was a Serif image
    My Internet died immediately after emailing you last night SANDRA but I will be at work soon and can sort it then I was going to send you some photos of Oscar (I know MARGARET) asked Hopefully the Internet will be ok later
    Your card yesterday was adorable SANDRA I think I need to have a re-think on the three theme... Home alone tonight so it's play time, I mean some serious housework time ....nah!
    Take care ladies

  7. Hello all, my visitors have gone to Porthleven ( small fishing village) so am taking a minute to catch up.
    Thank you Sandra for the update on how Janet is, sorry your not too good hugs to you Janet.

    Have done a very quick c card this week, not quite what is intended but it's a busy time here. When you live in Cornwall you get plenty of visitors.

    Have a good day all , hugs Lilian

  8. Hello Sandra and everyone,

    Karen your pleated card is gorgeous, i'm sure the recipient really love this, it is so different and looks very special. Hope you have sorted out the Internet and we can all see some updated photographs of Oscar. LOL

    Good new Sandra, I have found your YouTube video, and the instructions are very clear, so hopefully over the weekend I can have a little play with this one.

    I still wanted to play with the idea of this weeks challenge but as usual first attempt has gone in the bin. Won't be up to get into the craft room today, so hopefully tomorrow I can give it some more attention. XX

    Hope you're all having a good day, Will try and look it later, love Brenda XXX

  9. Hello ladies Thank you all for your lovely comments about my card My heart always skips a little beat when somebody else appreciates I make but I think we all appreciate each others crafting I will try logging on to Internet on laptop (on my good old faithful iPod at mo) and send the photos I'm going to have another go at this week's cc as I'm not sure my first attempt fulfilled the brief Need to re-charge my batteries - iPod and phone included x

  12. Hi Sandra
    I've only just seen yesterday's post. Love the card you made and I saw it in the flesh so to speak on your coffee table yesterday.
    Karen I do love your pleated card. I might try and sort some papers out later if I get the change.
    Picked up my new car today. I did however forget to take the log book and the mot over so a second journey over to Kidlington was required. The salesman said leave all the paperwork and I'll send everything off. I realised I needed some of the information to get my road tax refunded. So a phone call is required tomorrow after Petes trip to the eye hospital.
    Good job my heads screwed on.
