Simple Wreath Card

I love the irresistible blooms dies, my favourite is the circular die, as I think it makes a lovely simple wreath. I have paired it with the cheerful daisies dies and I love the end result. I wanted to keep the colours subtle for this card, since I was working with a crumb cake base.

Timeless Arrangements Thank You Card

I have a clean and simple card to share which uses the 'Timeless Arrangements' dies. As the name suggests it doesn't take too much time to arrange the die-cuts. 

I first created my background with two lots of DSP and went for an angled design to add a bit of interest. I used 3 of the flower die-cuts in different colours and layered them on top of each other and then added my sentiment on top. Lastly, I added some flowers and a bit of bling...card done in no time!

Holly Jolly Christmas Card

Oh wow, I have just realised it has been ten months since I last put up a post. Apologies for not posting sooner, but to be honest life has just been very busy. One of my new years resolutions is to get back into the swing of things with my crafting this year.
