Tatty Daisy Card - Just Because

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? Yesterday I had my hair cut. I had forgotten how much I enjoy the experience. Also I have known my hairdresser for 23 years and she like a good friend. She used to cut our daughter's hair and always asks about how she is getting on. This morning we dropped off a Covid test each. We are taking part in a trial. In a few days we should get the result. 

I have been making a few cards. My friend is opening her house for the Open Studios event and she has asked me if I would like to have a table of cards. Of course I said yes. This will take place August Bank Holiday Weekend. That really isn't far away. 


Sometime ago I treated myself to the Tatty Daisy die from the John Next Door range. I had a design in my head that I wanted to try. As you know I have been making simple cards recently this is another one. All the card I used was from my stash. I do like this pink card, it has nearly all gone, but I don't know where it came from. 


I cut the daisies from scraps of white paper that has a sheen to it. The centres were coloured with Distress ink and candi was added as well. I cut and added the Rose Leaves also from the John Next Door range. 


This sentiment is from Creative Expressions. It is quite useful as it makes the card more flexible to use. 


I was quite pleased with how this card turned out. There are some other things I want to try now. 
I just looked up the meaning of Daisy and it meas Day's Eye and it came from Old English. If we get another cow we might call it Daisy. 🐄

Have a great weekend.

Just Because Card made with Patterned Paper left over from making an Envelope

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you are having a great weekend. It is so lovely to have my hubby home for an extra day this week. In fact he is taking another day off later this week as it is my birthday. I am hoping we will be able to go to the cinema. The garden is coming on nicely.

When I was making a wedding card recently I didn't have an envelope large enough. So I followed a tutorial by Paul Church. The trouble is it took me three attempts to get the envelope  right. So I had a lot of  patterned paper that needed using up.

This is the card I made with some of that paper.


I have made quite a few of these cards with Snippets of paper used to create the background. The papers from the envelopes was all turquoise and blue.  


For the centre I used the Sophia die set from Creative Expression. I won the Just Because die set and this is the first time I have used it. The turquoise card was left over from the wedding card too. 


I do like creating backgrounds like this. I am always on the look out for ways to use up some of my Snippets and they just seem to keep accumulating. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Have a great week.
