Anyone for Draughts? Happy Birthday.

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How has your week been?  The weather has been a bit changeable. We have been out for some good walks. We voted. The garden has been tidied a bit and of course we have had a few coffees outside. This weekend is my birthday so I will be taking it easy for at least Sunday. Today we are meeting friends and doing a walking mystery around Portsmouth. I will let you know how we get on. 

Here is another of the samples I made for John's shows on The Craft Store. I have a few more samples to go after this. I am busy making things for new shows coming up. 


I made this card with the Stencil Numbers die and the Firth Park Tags die set. I cut lots of the discs and I stacked them to give dimension. I cut the squares for the board with my guillotine. I made the banner across the centre with the Firth Park tag set. I did thread ribbon through the die. The sentiment was cut with the numbers die and the Stencil Sentiment die set. When I make my samples I usually have someone in mind for the cards. Even though they will never receive the card it helps me when designing. 

Have a good weekend

Happy Crafting

Hugs Jackie

Oh my goodness what a fun birthday card for a 70 year old. I remember when I use to play checkers years ago and my grandma use to play too. Super fun card and thank you for the memory.
