Hi everyone, i'm back with a quick post as i'm just on my way out, hopefully to order a new sofa as busy decorating yet again, lol ... my downstairs looks like a demolition site as putting in a new kitchen and totally making over the room, new sofa, fire, carpet etc ....

                                    Here is my card, i have no idea what this style of card is called

                                         as i found a tutorial to it on another blog, which i will pop

                                                               back later with a link to it .....

  And as usual, can you guess which papers i used ....

   yes Maja Design, these are The coffee in the Arbour collection

  

The tag is removable and is used to keep the card closed or you can

add it to present and leave the card how it is ...

                                            I used a Martha Stewart punch around the page,
                                        the little bow on the top of the tag is a Sue Wilson Die,
                                          and all my flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and

Tilda with summer flower ...

Morning to all you lovely crafters, hope you all had a fab easter weekend.... haven't posted in just over a week as last weekend was my 13 year olds birthday party, and silly me decided to fall down some steps outside whilst carrying trays of food, so ive been a little bit bruised and sore as i landed mainly on my face and head, so i haven't felt much like crafting, but im nearly back to normal now, so decided to make a card or two over the weekend...........

                               I have made a criss cross easel card using summer flower Tilda, 
                                               she is one of the older Magnolia stamps,
                                                       but i think she is so adorable

                                             I used Maja Design Vintage Spring Basics paper, 

                                                             which i have added gesso to .....

                                     

                                                 I have used spellbinders ovals and scalloped 

                                              ovals for the mats, the flourish is a  doohickey die

                                               and the adorable little bow is from sue wilson ....

                                                 The lace and pearl string are from my stash,
