Craft Mad Monthly Card Swap for January

Image
This month the theme for the Craft Mad Monthly Card Swap was Anything Goes  Suited me very well as I had family staying and has also been laid low with illness. Fortunately in my stash I had a card kit from Kaisercraft so I used  the cards , papers and ephemera to make my cards for my partner.   This is the second card for my partner.

Collingwood Forever

Image
My Friend and Neighbour is an avid Collimgwood Football Club supporter .  I guess avid is not a strong enough word to describe the passion.  So a birthday meant a special Collingwood card. I made a pop up box Card and scoured  the internet for appropriate additions . Was pretty happy with the final result   

Miniature Room

Image
Today I would like to share a miniature room box I built recently . I have made a few changes along the way, sometimes things just don't go to plan. My friend and I call this ad - libbing rather than mistakes , However I am quite happy with the finished product and it will be off to a new home soon.    

Geometrical Background Card

Image
I have purchased a few of these geometrical background dies  but not really played with them until now. I do like the finished effect and of course several cards can be made  from one selection of  3 papers .  

Black and White Card

Image
I was sent a lovely lot of die cuts in a swap last year and started  having a play around with them the other day.  I particularly liked this one, so it was my first finished card. Only simple but I think it is effective .    

Flashback to Christmas

Image
Just a quick flashback to Christmas with a project  I never quite did get finished in time. Cut little Santas boot made from pretend Lego .  It is supposed to be a pen holder but I guess it has multiple uses    

Happy Birthday Eric

  To my big Brother  Hope your day is extra special xx

Craft Mad December Card Swap

Image
My second card for December swap was Tic Tac Toe. From the provided grid  I chose paper piecing, Santa and glitter.  Santa was a die which I paper pieced and used glitter card for the white parts.
