Sunny day in the garden

Hello on a lovely sunny day,only downside we are all at work! But it is wonderful to have the opportunity to come home and sit in the garden in the evening with that favourite glass, enjoying the evening sun and I have just the card to put you in the mood.
This is a double pocket card, there are tutorials out there that will tell you how to put this together! This one is an example that Kay Rutter demonstrates when showing you what you can do with the Hougie board, it uses an A4 sheet of thicker paper or even thinner card.
The stamp used was Flynn in the garden Sarah Kay. Hope you feel inspired, and enjoy your time in the sunshine.
Thank you for popping by and for the lovely comments, it really is nice to know you are out there X x

A Birthday Slice of Cake

It is my grandaughter's birthday tomorrow and I have made her a special card.  It is a double pocket card with a detachable bookmark, as she reads quite alot.  In the pockets I put two little cards for her to go shopping with.  I had great fun putting this together on a beautiful sunny afternoon.  I used the 'Happy Birthday Wishes' stamp from Fun & Fast notes stamp set together with perfect plum cardstock and paper, so saffron card, very vanilla ribbon then used lavender lace scallop circles.  I coloured my cakes using a blender pen and ink pads.

Then to go a step further I found this really easy slice of cake template on LMac's Catered Crops.  I put a lovely little surprise in there too. (I think you could add soooo much more decoration to this.. mine is quite plain and tidy).  Hope you like it.
