Trying something new for today

 Happy Monday , had a busy morning sorting out my paperwork and blogging some future DT bits and bobs but this afternoon I was at a loss.

Then I remembered a set I had brought a little while back and decided to pop it away as I wasnt sure how to use it

Well big knickers pulled up this afternoon I decided to play ~ If I had looked at it properly inside was a little booklet full of instructions, you just can't go wrong

So the set I am talking about is Crafters Companion Birds and Bloom, a stamp and die set that allows you to make over the edge cards. Adorable I have had a great afternoon , following the booklet I made no mistakes and here is my finished card

It's a dull day so a bit hard to catch the over the edge part so I hope you can see it.

In the set you get a few sentiments and some lovely foilage stamps. The three flowers I stamped, coloured and fussy cut out , stuck on with dimensional glue . I also stamped part of the main stamp again to give me another little chippy bird that was also stuck on with dimensional glue.

The sentiment was matted using Crafters Companion Textured Cardstock, using sticky pads too give it some height.

And finally I coloured up using Tri-Blend markers , I adore them so much 

Thank you for looking

Happy Birthday Auntie Ivy

Happy Sunday

It's Auntie Ivy's Birthday soon

Now we don't normally send Birthday cards but....

I was poorly last Christmas and did not get to make my usual Family home made cards...

Am afraid they were all brought..

I heard a wisper that she missed my normal homemade card and that stayed with me, so many people really dont appreciate the time and thought that goes into homemade these days.

I was determined to make a nice  Birthday card and here it is

I have used the wonderful kit from Pinflair

Through the Window

The Quality is super and you get a lovely sheet of thick acetate for the windows.

The flowers are all numbered so very easy to decoupage 

I even made a little insert ( a first for me a proper insert)
