Latest cards and papercraft experiments

I have had a few birthdays to make cards for over the last month. 
 This Daisy edger will be quite versatile as you can put it onto different backgrounds and it will look different every time.  This needs to be put onto a card.
 I need to stick this stencilled flower panel onto a card too.
 This card was for Chris' Mum and I think she liked it.
 Two more experiments with a new die - using watercolour crayons...
 ...and watercolour paints.
 This card was for a colleague at work.
 I made this tag for our friend, Rachael, who starts an MA in September.
 I hope this quote will keep inspiring her.
Finally, an 80th birthday card for a friend who will be travelling to Australia and Canada to see relatives.  I thought this was quite appropriate for him!
I have been working in my art journal too and sewing, gardening and reading.  It is back to work tomorrow after a very nice week off but there will be more crafting at the weekend.

    Colour me awed. Your cards are a gift in themselves, and definitely something to treasure.

      Thanks, EC. As always, I am enjoying all the experimenting and playing with new dies and stamps.
      Best wishes

    LOVE them all, but especially #2! It's truly striking and very eloquent. You're having way too much fun with your stencils and machine!

    Wonderful cards, I love them all but especially that last one. I think it's hard enough finding nice cards for men, never mind making them, but this is fabulous and so appropriate when he's jetting off on his travels.

      Thanks,Jo. Men's cards are more tricky, but I think you can't go far wrong with a kraft card base! I have a couple more to make this month, so need to get my thinking hat on!
