Valentine's Card 'Donut" have to be hard to make!

Good morning,  the weather here is being a bit hormonal (😂) We have had lots of snow, then rain and fog then it was snowing again last night!

I'm back with super cute card suitable for my teenager to give her friend.

Aren't these stamps and dies just the cutest! The design is so simple to make. I started with an A2 top folding cardbase and as always this was cut from Neenah Solar White 110lb card stock. I matted this with Razzleberry Pop-Tone Cardstock. 

Using an Altenew Plate die and Pink Lemonade Pop-Tone Cardstock I die cut the lacy panel and adhered this to my base.

The cross-stitch frame is cut from Brown Bag Kraft CardStock 4 times this gives a chipboard effect. I did the same with the fastening at the top of the frame using Stardream Cardstock in Antique Gold Metallic.

My images were stamped using a combination of pink and tan colored inks on to Neenah Solar White Card. This was glued to the back of the frame.

The bow is also included in the set and is cut from Razzleberry Cardstock. This was then glued to the top of the hoop which was then adhered to my base.

Finally I added some flat back pearls to look as those it had sugar balls on.

Christmas all year round!

 Hello, it's been a while!!! I was so busy at the end of last year that I didn't get much time to post here. Things are a little easier now so I intend to post more frequently!

We had a good dump of snow on Wednesday and a winter storm with potentially a lot more snow is heading in today and Saturday!

Christmas is always a busy time for us crafters so this year I will be holiday crafting all year round so I am more than ready when it finally arrives. 

My card today is a card and a gift all in one.

Using a Gina Marie Designs Ornament die I cut 6 of it so I could stack them on top of one another making a chipboard thickness. This stops delicate parts from breaking off and makes the ornament substantial enough to hang on a tree.

I decorated a top folding A2 cardbase with some MirriSparkle Glitter cardstock. I then die cut a tiny hole in the center of the front of the card about half an inch down.

Ribbon was added to the ornament - this was then threaded through the hole in the card and adhered inside with tape.

Finally I added some gems to the ornament to make it sparkle.
