Double Day!


This is my midway post for
theme of wings and/or tales.

Remember we have a lovely prize up for grabs
so be sure and get your stamped projects in!

For my card I decided to try one of those fence cards.
Everything has been stamped, coloured and fussy cut
and layered onto the fence front
and the sentiment was stamped directly onto the card.

I would like to enter this into

You can watch my video here




******************************************************************************



I am also a guest designer over at
today and this is the card I made for them.


The theme is
Perfect Pastels/Soft Spring colours

so I went with my Country Gingham papers and made
this card for my Aunt who fell and broke her shoulder recently.
The card is a vertical easel and I do have a tutorial on my YouTube
channel if you have never made one.



I would like to enter this into



I hope you all have a lovely weekend.
Weather not to be great here so not sure if we will venture anywhere
today. Enjoy Mother's Day tomorrow!

I was itching to see what you called the design of the first card Pinky, it's so effective and lovely Daffodils. Your GDT card for Allsorts is another beauty and sure to cheer the recipient. Thanks so much for joining us at Allsorts as our Guest this week.

2 lovely cards Pinky, the first one is so original, the fence design is a brilliant idea for layering up any flowers. Your second card is really tranquil and pretty.

Love the fence card, haven't seen this design before, it's a great backdrop for those gorgeous flowers and the little kitty is so sweet. A great design for your Allsorts GD card, the colours are so pretty.

Two beauties today Pinky! Love the design of the fence card- never seen one before, but really effective. Daffodils are my favourite spring flower, always make me think of my Mum, who loved them.
Great fold on the second card, a lovely design and pretty papers- sure to cheer up your Auntie!
Hope you have a lovely Mother's Day- despite the weather.

Love your fence card, so inspiring. I own a big fence by Sizzix, and have to try if I can arrange it to make one myself :) The daffodils look so pretty and that black cat upside down puts a big smile on my face! :D
Thanks so much for joining us at We Love Stamping!
Also your GD easel card for Allsorts looks great, thanks for the video tutorial!

Such beautiful work on both cards, Pinky. The fence card front is such a great idea and a fabulous card fold on the second using the pretty pastels!
So great to have you as a guest designer this week at Allsorts!

Beautiful cards, Pinky! I have been wanting to try one of those fence cards - just lovely with daffs. And gingham is a favorite of mine on anything :-) Such a unique fold. Thank you for joining us in inspiring the crafters at Allsorts as our Guest designer this week.

HilaryJane said...

Wow, these are two very special cards. Your daffodils are very special and they are enhanced by your clever background and fun cat. What great use of those gingham papers (love gingham) on your second card. I am sure all the work that went into it was really appreciated by your aunt xx

Chrissy said...

Two gorgeous cards Pinky, from soft pastels and full of spring to a crazy cat who sleeps upside down and all twisted up, how that be comfortable I ask my cat often?..gorgeous cards..

luv CHRISSYxx

Your first card is so unusual in design and those daffodils are fabulous. Love also the little cat. Your second card is very pretty and not a fold I've seen before. I hope your Aunt is making a good recovery. Thank you for being our GDT at Allsorts.

Two gorgeous cards, Pinky. I've never seen a fence card before, but it's a great design. Your vertical easel card is lovely too. I've never made one, but it's on my list of folds to try after seeing your last one. Lovely to see you Guest Designing in the Allsorts Challenge.
