Mum
The card I made for my mum’s birthday back in October
Everything was from existing stash, because I haven’t been crafting very much this year I haven’t really bought anything new at all.
The butterfly was new but not bought for card making so that doesn’t count, does it?
Coffee & cream
My favourite embossing folder, it’s an old one by Crafter’s Companion and I’ve added some Nuvo drops.
Flower dies are by Creative Expressions
With Love..
Mum
I haven’t been crafting so much this year hence no blogging.
Anyway, this is the card I’ve made for my mum.
Embossing folder is by Spellbinders, poinsettia die is Creative Expressions.
I’ve used Cricut for “Mum” and the card blank is from a pack I’ve had for years, it’s 8 x 8”

Weaving
Card inspired by Lynn at Craft Mania
I've used Creative Expressions paper weaving die, poinsettia die also CE, and sentiment was a magazine freebie.
For Jackie
Colours are shocking in this pic, in real life they are lilac and purples.
I've used flower dies by Creative Expressions and papers by Crafter's Companion and The Paper Boutique.
Christmas
I made a few different versions of these, changing the colours or the sentiments.
The Christmas tree dies are by Creative Expressions, embossing folder is an old one I can't remember the brand.
Joy
Mini bottles of wine inside these.
Earlier in the year I watched a video on Crafter's Companion YouTube, the tutorial showed how to make a concertina-vase card. I made a much more simplified version which can hold a full-sized wine bottle and then made these smaller ones.

Peace
Club project, we made a card plus box. Above pic is the box complete with acetate window to give a glimpse of the contents.
Card is 7 x 7 inches. Peace die is Crafter's Companion and clock face die is by Tim Holtz for Sizzix. Both pieces were die-cut three times and layered to give a bit more oomph.

Time
Stepper card blank is from Crafter's Companion
Dies and stamps are by Paper Discovery, we added acetate and sequins to make a shaker card.
Acetate stepper card
I'm not sure what this style of card is called so I've gone with acetate stepper. I copied the idea from a birthday card that one of my ladies sent to another one of my ladies!
Papers are old ones from Lili Of The Valley, mannequin die is Sizzix.
