Hello again,
We are currently having a warm winters day and the washing is getting a good blow through, before an expected cool change later this week. I have been busy during our current lockdown using up a couple of ancient paper pads, one a Christmas pad from Doodlebug Designs called 'North Pole' which has maybe a whole 6" square left to use up, if you join all the little bits together and it is definitely not going back in the box for use again next year. I have used a magazine subscription stamp set 'Pretty Patchwork' to make several cards one is a birthday card the others Christmas.
Here are my cards:-
This birthday card is on the way to a quilt making friend, she is currently under her first lockdown after a person infected with covid-19 went into her regional area, so hopefully this brings a smile for her birthday over the weekend....
As you can see I stamped and cut out many hexagons and made them into tree shapes on the card fronts adding a bow (store bought) to the top of the tree and the sentiment at the bottom, I was a little high on the first one the next two worked out well...
My last card features a MFT stamp called Pure Innocents Elf Girl along with some larger hexagons
What I used:-
4x 12.6x17.8cm card blank
1x 10.5x14.8cm card blank
