Shake your Shamrock!

Happy Monday!

I am starting my week off with a St. Patrick's Day shaker card.

I was inspired by a lovely shaker tag over at Chrissy's amazing blog.

This shows the beads better in the centre panel.

The shamrocks have been stamped and hand cut!

Patience or what lol, but they were pretty easy and quick.

Everything I used is listed below.

Just click the link if there is anything you fancy buying.

Easter Bunny

I have an Easter card to share today, I know very early lol

but needs must.

I wanted to finished off my second note card pack so

thought an Easter card would be a good one to add.

I followed the lovely sketch and inspiration over at

Try Stampin' on Tuesday

and was totally inspired by all, but especially one of the ladies cards,

hence the wee fancy border and added vellum circle.

I finished off the inside with some little Easter eggs.

Day at the farm...

Happy Monday.

My card today is a tent fold swing card.

It is made for a child and I will add the age to the space in the centre.

Perfect for a little boy or girl who loves farm animals.

The animals have all been hand cut from the papers

and I used layering rectangles for the frames.

These papers are free with a £45 spend during Sale-a-bration!

I have left the back area blank so I can add a personalised

birthday verse.

This is the side view, showing the swing part in the centre.

I do have a tutorial over in my VIP Group.
