A few latest cards

I have been making cards for friends and family - above is one for a special birthday for my friend Katy.  The background in pink glitter, but it doesn't show up that well in the photo.
This was for my brother-in-law.  
This one was for a colleague at work, using a new rubber stamp which Chris had treated me to from Noolibird.
She is a keen houseplant grower, so I thought she would like a houseplant inside...
...and some potted flowers on the back.

I am enjoying using my stash to make these cards and to tailor them to the recipient.

    All lovely, as usual. I love the butterfly but I think my favourite has to be the cat.

      Thanks, Jo. The cat stamp was on my wish list for a long time - I was so pleased when Chris offered to buy it for me!

    I always love your cards. Something to treasure. As I do the one you sent me with my woolly lambs...

      Thanks, EC. It's kind of you to say so. I enjoy making the cards so much - just small creative projects which are very satisfying.

    São todos muito giros, mas o meu preferido é o do cunhado.

    Beijinhos:))

      Muito obrigada, Isabel. Men's cards always seem to be more difficult to make. I am always looking out for good ideas for them.
      Best wishes/Muitas felicidades

    LOVE the butterfly, makes me think of my older brother. He had quite the collection back in the day.

      Thanks, Sandy. The butterfly embossing folder/die is one I have used a lot and it always looks good whatever it is put on. Definitely a good purchase!

      Thanks, Amanda. I really like these little card projects (even though buying a card would work out sooo much cheaper!) as they give me a little creative fix.

      Thanks, Lulu. I have so much craft stash that I could probably open my own shop (although I couldn't possibly sell any of my materials...) It's my one big indulgence, buying crafting stuff (but that's my equivalent of going on holiday). I think the recipients liked them (my colleague who received the cat card certainly did) but I don't always get any feedback!
