Art Deco Birthday Card

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How has your week been? We have been rather busy. On Wednesday we celebrated my mother-in-law's 94th birthday. It was a lovely day and we were able to have lunch in the garden with friends and family. We were in charge of bringing the food. It was such a nice occasion to be at. Today I am helping at another felting workshop I helped at one yesterday. I helped at one yesterday and I made a poppy picture. 

I had a bit of time to catch up on some of the makes I will need soon. My friend's birthday is in September it is good to get ahead. 

My friend love Art Deco ladies. I save all the cards that I get with these images on to make cards for her. The outside frame was made with the Presscut Art Deco Cassandre die. I know the Art Deco dies were popular. 

I had these pretty cornflowers that were left over from another project. I added gems to the centres. I had some of the small leaves left over too. 

This tag comes with the Cassandre die and I used the stencil sentiments dies to make the sentiment. 

This image started life as thank you card. It is amazing what you can do when you can hide the old sentiment. 

It is fine for me to share my friend's card. She doesn't indulge in Social Media. 

Have a great weekend. 

Happy Crafting

Presscut Art Deco Dies for Crafts-Too and John Next Door

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you are having a good weekend. Having seen my parents last week there has been a lot to sort out. I have manged to fit in a little crafting. My A4 die cutting machine finally gave up on Friday. I am working on getting a replacement. I do have the Kaleido but I need an A4 machine for bigger dies. My hubby is being very supportive. I am sure something will be sorted soon. 

Here are the cards and other bits I made with the Presscut Deco dies that are being released by John Next Door on the Craft Store at 6.00 pm today. 

I do like extending the use of the dies I am given. This is a shaker card with some butterflies in the centre. 

Often when I have the coloured card out for one card another card will suggest itself. This time I have made a square card with a rectangular die. This time I made flower with the Small Flowers die. 

I think this is my favourite card. I just love the colours and the way the die work. I added  flowers made with the Periwinkle die. I used an off cut from the background paper. The sentiments I used came from the Deco Butterflies die set. 

I love making boxes. The acetate I used in this one came from packaging and has gold dots on it. When I had made the box I went out to buy the chocolates to go in it. The colours were just perfect. I added another Periwinkle flower. 

Here is a gift bag with more Periwinkle flowers. 

This was a fun set of dies to use. Look out for them in other makes. I am sure I will be using them a lot. 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend. I have two weeks of invigilating coming up. 

Happy Crafting
