Latest card makes and looking like Harry Potter

 I have been making various cards for friends, family and colleagues.

Here is a stencilled design for my brother-in -law.
Some thank you cards, after my birthday...
...and here.
A card for my work colleague - this is a stamp I have used before and which always looks good.
I also made her a bookmark tag. The front...
...and the back.
Mothering Sunday cards.
More birthdays...
...and bookmark tags, front...
...and back.
My sister-in-law's card - she is a very keen and good gardener.
I added some interest on the back too.
A card for a friend who has recently got into gardening and has an allotment.
I added some extras on the inside...
...and the back.
Here's the bookmark I made for her.
Snarky cats made an appearance again!
Finally, Easter cards. 

In other news, I, like a lot of the UK, am desperate for a haircut!  At the moment my usually short and under control hair is crawling down my neck and tickling my ears.

In fact, I think look a bit like Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, which may be a good look for him, but isn't for me! I have an appointment on 22nd April which can't come soon enough.

    1. Thanks, Andrea. I enjoy planning what I am going to make depending on the recipient's hobbies or likes. Then i have the enjoyment of actually making the card! Win/win!

    1. Thanks, Briony. I have got a few stashed away, just in case there is something I've forgotten, but I usually make for the occasion, so need to get organised in good time!

  3. You have been busy - and beautifully productive.
    I suspect you will float out of the hair salon when your locks have finally been shorn.

    1. Thanks, EC. I have been enjoying playing with some of my dies and stamps (as I always do!). I can't wait for that haircut - I will look so much better!

  4. Beautiful cards! I don't think I could say I like any one better than another they are all so nice! Perhaps the gardening ones catch my attention more than the rest because they are different and I like the extra bits you have added. keep well Amanda x

    1. Thanks, Amanda. I really enjoy making cards for people and using some of my large stash of stamps and dies is always good too. The gardening cards were well received, so they were a good choice.

    1. Thanks, Chrissie. I do like making cards and I know that at least one card will have another life, at the allotment shed!
