May Swap parcel - 2
Truly patterned paper this!!! Just right for the May challenge mentioned in the previous post. First I thought of cutting a circle out of it and layering it up but then I thought about a set of dies and stamps that I have rarely used. Time for an airing!!!
Scraps of plain card were stamped and diecut and then I rummaged in the ribbon stash and came up with this card.

May swap parcel
May is drawing to a close and I thought I had better get photos blogged of the cards I made from the May swap which was all about large or difficult patterns. This is one of the ones I made from Pat's parcel.
Luckily Pat included some lovely toning plain paper so I just used a scallop die to layer an image with the plain paper. The image came from a previous swap parcel with Pat.

Christmas in May
My personal challenge was to make and blog at least one Christmas card a month prefrably using goodies from our Christmas swap or Advent parcels.
The moment I saw this image in my swap parcel I just knew it was my sort of Christmas card. I rummaged around my snippets box and found the green backing paper and a bit of black to layer the image onto. A greeting that I also received in the swap completed nthe card. One of my favourite makes. The real meaning of Christmas and simple to make!!

With Love
I rummaged in the snippets box and found some white offcuts and also some pink. I used some white ribbon to attach to the tag and mounted it onto the pink oval which I then mounted on the white diecut. I then mounted the whole on some more of the pink and added a greeting. I used my Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles to cut out the white diecut shapes. I fell in love with this set all over again. They are simply elegant.

Choo choo
Those that know me will know that the man in my life is a steam train enthusiast. My mother needed card to give him and I mad a few for her to choose from but knew really I only had to make this one and she would be happy with it.
I rummaged around in the stash and found the image and then delved into the snippets box for the backing card pieces which I embossed in the Cuttlebug.
