Thank You Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope that you had a good weekend. We had another really busy one. On Saturday we went to Ally Pally for the Craft show. Of course I bought some new stash and I met some of my online friends. On Sunday we went to Ascot Racecourse for a Cruise Show. This was followed by a trip to West Green House on our way back - you can use your National Trust membership card to get in. It was so nice to look round the garden and of course use the cafe.

Last week I made a special thank you card. It is always good to have some put by.


I used a selection of dies from the John Next Door range from Crafts-Too. The backing paper was cut with the lattice corner die from the Sandwich box die set. 


This thank you die came free with a magazine some time ago. I used the Square Background Gerbera flowers frame die set to frame the sentiment. I did put a dark purple sentiment on top of a pale purple one but when I looked at the card the sentiment didn't show up enough so I put another pale one on top. 


I cut some patterned paper with the Gerbera Flowers die. I just love how you can cut so many flowers so quickly.  Behind the flowers I placed the Star Flower leaves. 


I also put butterflies on the design made with the Small Butterflies die set. 


This one will go into my box until it is needed. I often get urgent requests for cards. It is good to be prepared. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:
The April Challenge at Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge
Week 514 at the Allsorts Challenge blog
Challenge 456 at the Crafty Catz Challenge blog

Have a great week. 

Happy Crafting

Hugs Jackie

    Gorgeous card Jackie. Glad you enjoyed Ally Pally. Sorry I didn’t get there Saturday to meet up with you. I didn’t get there Sunday either as had a bad back and couldn’t drive. Still suffering.
