How was your weekend? We really enjoyed the American Idiot musical we went to see on Friday. It really helped checking out the Green Day album before we went. Saturday was spent tidying and taking things to the tip. On Sunday we went to visit our parents. and helped both sets out with a few things.
At the moment I am not getting a lot of time to craft. So when I found a Hunkdory papercraft kit free with Papercraft Essentials magazine it was just what I needed. . One of the images and some of the papers featured poppies. My mother-in-law loves poppies.
The backing paper is so pretty with its poppy border. I cut the corner lattice die from the Sandwich Box die set from John Next Door in gold mirror card to add interest to the corner.
This the poppy topper from the kit. Now I did sick this down the wrong way round but I really don't think it makes too much difference. I added a small butterfly at the side.
This is a Signature die I cut it once in red and once in white. The white shadow helped the die to show up against the lattice.
With the same kit I made a very simple Mother's Day card for my Mum. It is very pretty I think she will like it.
I know my Mother-in-law will like this card. There are lots of pretty images and papers left in the kit so I will be using it to make some more cards.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Have a great week.
Happy Crafting
