Weddings, wishes, and..... festive cheer? (August - too soon?)

On this beautiful sunny Saturday, I thought I'd treat you to another blog update :) 

Once again these cards were made back in June, I just hadn't transferred them from the camera to the computer to share them with you! ooops! 

Just a note for anyone reading in the Chesterfield, Derbyshire area - if you are interested in purchasing any of these cards or the ones shown on previous posts, many are available at Chatsworth Beauty Therapies 

I decided to create a batch of Wedding cards all along the same theme, I reached the decision that if I like a layout why change it?! Hopefully if I like them then maybe you will too!  Still, no two cards will be identical when it comes to stamping.  Only thing I need to learn next is how to colour skin and hair so the bride and groom can also be more personalised.  Give me time (and a new set of ProMarkers) and I might get there ;)






Next up are two birthday cards, both use images from Lili of the Valley art pads - "My Best Friend" and "Wild Flowers"



I've recently been putting my birthday presents, the We R Memory Keepers Gift Bag & Envelope punch boards, to use. 


My first attempt:

As the large gift bag using the board only measures 9.5 cm wide, I've been having a look through YouTube for some videos on how to make bigger gift bags.  Thanks to this video from Crafty Village I realised it is possible to make larger bags and so out I went to buy big sheets of paper (from Paperchase) to make these bags measuring 14.5 cm and 18.5 cm wide. 


Well, that takes me to the end of my photos - any cards I've made since these it would appear I never took photos of (or have lost them!) Unfortunately, I know of at least 3 cards I've made that I can't show you and I'm kicking myself for it now :(  

Before I leave you, I will share a sneak peek of my festive creations - it may only be August but if I start crafting now then hopefully I'll have enough cards come December!



Have a wonderful weekend everybody.
