Sonia's beautiful Birthday card

 


Good Thursday Morning Ladies,  

Fingers and toes crossed that by the time you are reading this those flipping wedding invitations will be done and sent off to Becca,  I will be glad to see the back of them, I spent most of yesterday deckle edging and inking, dipping in gold embossing powder and heat setting each of the 'finer details ' sheets to go into the pockets inside the invitations,  I sat, excited to be finishing them, all I had to do was pop said sheets in pockets and adhere main invitation piece to the wallet/envelope,  only to discover that when the information sheets were designed they were a centimetre or so wider than I had planned for, so none fitted in the pockets,  so I had to rejig them, re cut them, re emboss and heat set them,  I admit I had a litlle bit of a mini breakdown at that point, it was an easy mistake,  I should have double checked before i started,  I ended up working on them until after 9pm !  

I am so grateful that Sonia sent me this gorgeous card to share today, as you can imagine there was no way I was getting any crafting done yesterday!  In fact at one point I said I was giving up crafting altogether!  I don't think i actually could give it up, I was just having a moment!  

Sonia used some of her new Temu bits to create this card, including the stencil for the background,  it's simply stunning,  those two tiny flowers are the perfect finishing touch, I really love that sentiment too, it's that delicate that even cutting in black doesn't take over the card,  it works perfectly. 

Thank you so much Sonia ❤️ 

I hope that you all have a good day, 

Love and hugs to all of you,  

Sandra xxx

  1. Your card is stunning Sonia - why didn’t I see that die set when I went shopping 🤣
    What a relief that the invites are finished How demoralising it must have been I would have been in floods - but it’s done now and I expect they are absolutely stunning I cannot wait to see a finished one

  3. Hi everyone
    A gorgeous card Sonia. Love everything about it.💕
    Wonderful news Brenda, so happy for you. It has been some tough times but you have turned a corner 🙏🤗
    It must be so good to have all the invitations done at last. Well done Sandra. I'm sure Rebecca will love them.
    Have been out this morning looking for paint. Having the lounge and kitchen freshen up at the end of February. Had a coffee at Dunelm before popping in to a new Lidl, do think we have 5/6 here in MK. The layout was a bit different so took a little longer to find the things we needed but a nice one otherwise.
    Hoping that you ladies have had a nice day. Take care, many hugs to you all. Maria xx
