Dainty Flowers Fun Fold

 




Good Morning Ladies, 

I hope that today finds you well, sending hugs to those of you that are struggling right now 🥰

As I am writing today's post we are on the Oxford Tube (coach) heading into London,  it's easier and less expensive than the train, infact it was free for us as Becca complained after the terrible journey we had home when us girls went to London for the girls birthday last year.  I will tell you all about our day on tomorrow's blog.

Today's card was a fun make, quite time consuming as there was a lot of cutting and measuring and fussy cutting but the finished card was worth the time it took,  plus its a pleasure making cards for special friends that you know appreciate all the little detail.  The papers are the Dainty Flowers I have used a couple of times but they are discontinued now so have come a precious commodity!   

Here is a view showing the shape of the card...


It folded flat for posting but was a large letter because of the thickness.  

Sending my love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra                                                                    xxxxxx

    1. It takes about an hour depending on traffic. We didn't get home until almost 2am, so I definitely prefer staying over in London, I can't wait to see your card xx

    2. Hi Karen. Do you look on the Hobbycraft site. I thought of you when I saw the email from them. They have loads of different crochet animals and other objects along with the free instructions at the moment xx

  4. Hi everyone
    What a fantastic card. 😃 Well worth the time and our Sonia is so worthy a card like this x
    I made a so called prototype of a card today that I always wanted to do. It's not perfect but might try another one tomorrow.
    Hope you had a good day in London and you could rest today after the long day.
    Sending a lot of hugs to you all. Well wishes to our friends who are not 100%, take care . xxx
