Not Just Cards Challenge blog - September Challenge - Anything Goes

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How has your week been? I have been very busy. I think I have been out every day. Some of the evenings  have been busy too. At the weekend we are going to a socially distanced wedding. This will be an interesting experience. 

The new challenge has started at the Not Just Cards Challenge blog the theme is always Anything Goes. So it is nice and easy to enter. There are no prizes but there is a badge to display on your blog if you are picked as a winner. 

This is the anniversary card that I made for our daughter and son-in-law. I can't believe that they have been married for three years. The paper I used was in my stash. 

Our challenges are lots of fun. Click on the blog logo and you will be taken there. 

This image came from an old card. I just loved the cute hedgehogs so much. The little bows were in my stash too. 

I know they thought this card was cute. Their next big adventure is when they move house for which they do not have a date yet. 

Happy Crafting

An Anniversary Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you have had a good week. It has been a busy one for me. The weekend ahead is going to be busy too. I am very lucky that my lovely hubby is taking me to the Farnborough Craft show on Saturday. Then we are visiting our parents that live up that way. On Sunday we are taking back the hamster we have been looking after for our daughter and son-in-law. I hope we get to share a meal with them as well.

As some of you know I help my very talented friend at her felting workshops. She keeps a box of scraps and I found a lovely piece of felt that must have been trimmed from a bigger project.. I asked if I could keep it to make a card and she kindly agreed.

I hung onto to the piece of felt for a while and I finally decided to make it into a card for our anniversary which is at the beginning of April. I do like to be ahead with my makes. You never know what might happen.

The backing paper came from some packaging. The card is scored so the flap doesn't reach the other side. I can't remember what this style of card is called. I did put some paper on the inside so that I can write a message. 

So the background piece is the original piece of felt and I needle felted a little boat onto it. I created the mats and layers with my guillotine. 

I added some Washi tape to the design. The sentiment was cut with some Britannia Dies.  

I think you can see how the card is folded from this picture. It is okay for me to share this card as my hubby doesn't look at my blog or Facebook Page.
