Good Morning Ladies,
Two more of my birthday cards to share with you today.
The first card made by Sue is such a pretty card, the watercolour background is so delicate, a beautiful soft green that blends perfectly with the sky blue, Sue has stamped 3 birds and the rising Sun into the background of the card, they look like they are behind a misty haze. Then you get that stunning bunch of daisies in the foreground all made be hand and finished with a pretty bow.
Sue thank you so much for such a gorgeous card, I will always treasure it XXX
Margaret card is up next , I love that you have used green Margaret with it being my favourite colour and it makes a perfect background to your stamped images.
Margaret has used Stampin Up! Birthday Blooms stamp and coloured it beautifully with gorgeous pink shades, that work perfectly with the green background.
Thank you so much for my stunning card Margaret XXX
Paul popped home for the night last which was so lovely, it felt like he'd been away ages! He will leave super early this morning to get back but those few hours make all the difference.
Pat and I had a lovely afternoon of crafting, Pat got a whole card made and then did some die cutting . I finished a Christmas card too, which I will share with you all on Friday.
I hope you all have a lovely day,
Love & Hugs
Sandra

Hi Sandra and ladies
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I'm the first one in today. Lovely birthday cards Sandra
Had a lovely meet up with Sandra yesterday. Not only did I get a card made but did a bit of stamping with an old Clarity stamp that I hadn't used for ages. Must say they spammed better on Sandra's smooth card from Stamping up that mine. I should have some smooth card somewhere so must look that out.
Hope everyone is keeping well and that your not to stressed out Val with your enforced stay in the U.K. I hope you managed to get some extra medication.
Hi pat, thanks for the lovely day yesterday, I have to say that I didn't ever think that decent card can make a difference to stamping, I thought it was a sales thing!!
DeleteBut having used the Stampin Up Whisper White and Very Vanilla cards for stamping I really can see the difference, the ink seems to just stick to the paper better, the results between stamping on ordinary white card and the SU card were very different.
Not sure what is happening with Blogger, it's so sad to call I and see so few comments!
I know you are all here some where though!
Hugs
Sandra

Hello Margaret, I hope you hear soon. the waiting is horrible isn’t it. I’m sure you are all on tender hooks waiting for news. Take care xx

Thank you all for your best wishes, I still have not heard anything. RJ, Gemma & Chris are on their way to keep me company which is lovely of them. Will keep you posted.xxx
DeleteHi Margaret, hopefully you have heard something by now and the op have gone well. Sending big hugs to you both. Glad you have some company xx
DeleteHi Sandra and all in the Café today. It's always a (nice) surprise when you open up the Café door and see your own card on display. I was a little disappointed at how faintly the he birds and sentiment are in my photo as it is clearer "in the flesh" but I just had to use stamps on your card my lovely as you were the one that inspired me to use them in the first place. It did make me realise that although I have a box full of stamps most of them were freebies from magazines and are not really ones that I would use so must start building up a decent range, especially flowers as I don't have any nice ones.... I feel a serious look at the Stamping up catalogue is needed 😊 I'm glad Paul came home last night at least you only have one more sleep now before he is home xx
ReplyDeleteMum, this waiting for the call to say Pop is all done and dusted is hard isn't it! Roll on the phone call. Love you xxxx
Maria, I'm sorry you didn't get better news from the hospital doc on Tuesday. I hope your GP can help. Looking forward to seeing you at the NEC X
Lynda, sorry that you are still in so much pain in your leg. Can you get some stronger pain killers. Hugs to you and C. Underpants X
Karen, I hope your new tooth stays put for a long time now! X
Michele, I hope you are managing to recover from the jet lag and the cough X
Where is the time going? It's only a couple of hours before I will be off to the Scout hut for Beavers and as always I have some bits and pieces to do before then so must get on.
Sending love and hugs to you all with extras for all in need. Take care xx
