AG for Allsorts

 Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge this time is hosted by Mervi and her theme is

Anything Goes with option of Roses

I made this lovely shaped card which folds flat for posting.

It came about because a friend of mine hosts a card class at the craft shop and she comes up with some amazing cards. She made this one and left it in the shop and one of my craft group liked it and asked me if I could make one and show them how to make it.

So off I trotted to You Tube and found a fab tutorial HERE

This is my version and I did use some papers that had Roses on too.

I'm really pleased with it and it is very easy too.

This is the 1st one I made to try out the design.

Another Tag Recycled into a Card

 Good Morning All

This is the last of the tags I have repurposed into a card to go in the Charity box at the shop.

I used the Gingham ribbon from Crafty Ribbons and papers from Minxy Studio UK.

I have already shown this card on Crafty Ribbons page on Facebook as part of their Showcase week last week,  so some of you may have seen it there.

Recycling Birthday Cards

Good Morning All

Way back in May, I received some wonderful cards for my Birthday and alot were handmade.

So I have recycled them to go in the charity box at the Craft Shop, I checked with the ladies first. 

I think you will agree that there are some lovely  cards there which I cannot throw out so we may aswell get some good from them and raise some money for the dog rescue centre.

It's A Wrap

 Good Morning All

I bought the Groovi Wrap plates a good while ago and have hardly used them.

I didn't want to make an envelope or wrap though, so I made it into a card for my best friends Birthday.

I added lots of gems and pearls to the scalloped border.

This is inside when you open the flap

I mounted it onto pink card then onto a DL card blank.
