Just Dies

Today I have a card for 2 challenges that comes from my large stock of cards made but never shared. It is a simple CAS card made with diecuts.

The slatted square die is from Craft Addiction UK, The happy birthday is by Altenew and the little sailing boat is by Cut and Make. I think the colour is cummerbund by Catherine Pooler.

I am sharing this at:

Seize the birthday #333 - Dies only

CAS on Friday #342 - Sea

On searching through my files I found 2 more all die cut cards. This time I used the die cut inlay technique with glitter paper. The die is a very old one by Creative Expressions I actually found the panels in a basket of odds and ends relatively recently and decided that they deserved to be made up into cards.

Which is your favourite colourway? I think I prefer the red and yellow, much better contrast. Although usually I would go for the green.

Thanks for all your kind words about my broken wrist. I am slowly coming to terms with being in plaster for 6 weeks and it does ache a lot, but I am getting by. Whilst I can't write, I can type, so here I am.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it. 

August Card Chain Challenge Reveal

Today is 2nd of the month so time for the Card Chain Challenge big reveal. This month 26 card makers took part and I sent my card to Jo in UK.

This month I used the colours and the options of lace and friendship.

My card base is stone coloured matt card and my pewter and tan are metallic card. The lace die is by Sizzix (Tim Holtz 664181) and the hello die and sentiment is by Spellbinders (a little hello sentiments designed by Lisa Horton).

I made a stencil with the die to decorate the insert and the envelope. You can just see them in the first photo. The picture below shows the shiny metallic cardstock.

I was very lucky to receive this gorgeous card from Linda in Michigan. Thanks Linda.
