Another arrow fold card

I've made another of the arrow fold cards using Creative crafting worlds summer gnomes using scraps I had left over, I love the colours & patterns on these papers

I've managed to get the fold lines perfect this time by using the scoring blade on my trimmer so all lines meet at the point this time




I may start making a few Christmas cards using the scraps I have left over from my Winter gnomes using this fold

30th birthday card for my Nephew

 I was making this card for my nephew today remembering the 1st time I met him 27 years ago when he was dressed up as Batman, a little boisterous 3 year old whose 1st language was Welsh with limited English

Wow how time flies, pleased to say he now has 2 rugrats of his own 5 years &  just 2 months old who are wonderful children

This is only the 2nd time I have made this arrow fold card design so yes it is a bit wonky but more practice will help



The papers & gnome image are from Summer gnomes by Creative crafting world

The numbers are dies from my stash

A few pearls to balance the image

Happy crafting & stay safe

Baby card for my Niece

 Finally made a card for my Niece who was due on Sunday but still waiting for something to happen

She lives in Leicester so unfortunately I will only see Squidge by facetime or photos when she does arrive

This took me ages to colour as I used 4 different colours each for the skin & hat although you cant tell in the photo


I have used my trustee promarkers

Digi image was from Sugar Nellie called Bambino, unfortunately they have decided to shut shop so i'm not sure if it's still available anywhere

The papers are from CDs by Ella's Design

The New Baby die is one i've just picked up from The Range

Buttons from my stash

Happy crafting & stay safe
