My second card for my partner Craft Mad Monthly Card Swap. I have had this embossing folder for a very long time  and it fitted the theme which was Candles perfectly .  I think it is a Cuttlebug brand.    

  Our theme for this Craft Mad Monthly Card Swap was Candles  This is the first of my candle cards. I think they call this a step card but not sure. It was a fun card to make. 

Sharing a card I made for my daughter when she opened her Coffee Shop.  I used Graphic 45 paper and ephemera from my stash.  I also added a small card for a personal message   

My brother and his wife recently celebrated 50 years of marriage.  A great achievement these days. This is the card I made for them. I added a small panel inside with a greeting   

 Our Second card for our partner this month was a supplied sketch.  Lots of circles in this one and this is my finished card.

Our theme for the first card this month was a Fun Fold. I chose a Floating Hexagonal card for my partner . I enjoy trying different folds and this one was quite easy for a nice result.   

Our theme for this month was Tic Tac Toe. I chose flowers tag and twine from the grid and we were given a sketch to follow. This is my completed card .   

Our theme for this month was Tic Tac Toe. I chose flowers tag and twine from the grid however I used a little artistic license and changed the twine to lace as I thought it suited the card better.   

My second Craft Mad Monthly Card Swap. Our theme was to make a card from a Sketch we were given. I used papers and die cuts from my stash .   

This month theme for the Craft Mad Monthly Card Swap  was an easel card .  This was the card I made for my partner using Uniquely Creative  papers and die cuts.  

 We had the same theme for our second card in the  January Craft Mad Monthly Card Swap.  I matched the colours as close as I could from what I had available in my stash Loved the result. 

Our Craft Mad Monthly Card Swap for January was to make  a card colours from a paint sample card. I collected some colour strips from our local hardware shop and  created a row of cats using the actual strips   

I think you could use this card for many different occasions  but I chose to use it as an engagement for a family member. Love these die cuts, so pretty.    

A male birthday card to share today   Made for another neighbour  and once again using Uniquely Creative papers and die cuts.      

Another birthday card to share today. Made for another neighbour  and once again using Uniquely Creative papers and die cuts.    

One of our neighbours recently celebrated his 80th  so a special card was the order of the day.  As he is often seen cycling around the village,  I decided to use this pastime as a theme for his card.   

Sharing a birthday card today .   I recently made this for a friend and   from memory I think it was from the   Uniquely Creative range of papers and accessories.  

Just going back a little while here. Our Craft Mad Group decided to join in World Cardmaking Day  late last year. We all hooked up online and made a  Pop Up Diamond Tiara Card. It was very interesting, a bit hard to keep up at times as I am a very visual crafter  and it was a Mystery card, so we had no idea what we were doing. However, we all got there, and it was a lot of fun.  I wasn't very happy with my first attempt, so I made the Christmas card next day  and it turned out so much better.  

I always seem to be short of men's cards so I made up a Uniquely Creative kit  I had in my stash. I did modify them slightly to suit the people I was making them for but  I was happy with the results.
