Decided it was time to get back to blogging again and this months PJ party was just the push I needed!!So here goes with my projects.....
Challenge 1......Thankyou
My mum doesn't read this blog so I can show you this!! I've made a box of cards for her with a selection of Thankyou and birthday cards in it.
I used the 2 step floral sprig set and a selection of stampin up inks.
Challenge 2....a Christmas card
Here's the front of my card....
and here's how it looks when open.
This was my first go at an accordion card and I'm very pleased with it!
Close up of the panels using Very Vintage labels no.1, Santa from Night before Christmas and Bountiful baskets additions. The card was made using a sizzix accordion die.
Challenge 4....Deck those halls
A star wreath.
I used Vintage Christmas background stamp to make patterned card and then cut out lots of stars!
A bit of scoring and folding in front of the TV to make the stars 3D then I glued them to a circle of card and added some buttons to finish.
Hope you like my efforts...I had fun making them.
Sarah, these all scream Christmas! Beautiful thank you card set for 'mum'. Your 1st accordion card? Can't believe it. Wonderful graphics. (Wish I was getting this!) But the star wreath? An art-piece! Love them all!

ReplyDeleteHoly Cow! This is amazing!
ReplyDeleteGood grief Sarah, you must have started making the moment the first invite went up, an incredible amount of work, i will be back to check out the how to of that accordian card when I have more time - it looks awesome! The wreath is superb and I love how you used the little sprig stamp on your mums card to make that trailing vine all over the front of the card!! Super show missy! Thank you so much for coming to our PJ party!
ReplyDeletewow, your creations are amazing...so glad you joined us at WM to play along in the PP! I had to pop over and clarify "Black Friday", in the USA it is the busiest shopping day of the year(the day after Thanksgiving)the stores are overflowing, sales and shopping starting at midnight. We call it Black Friday because it is said it is the one day of the year, merchants books will be in the black, no longer in the red. Hope this helps you to understand, it is actually a great day, we always go out shopping to get into the hussle and bussle of the season!
ReplyDeleteEverything is so very beautiful and the accordion card turned out just wonderful!! I want to try one too!
ReplyDeleteYikes... fabulous!! Love the fancy card... not sure what the technique is... it's wonderful!! And the wreath... need to give you my address... would love to hang it up!!
ReplyDeleteYour mum will really love the cards! The star wreath is fab and the interactive Christmas card rocks!
ReplyDeleteYour star wreath is a true work of art!
