Some cards through the year - part 1

As you know, I enjoy making cards and I like to keep a record of what I have made.  So here are some of the cards from this year.  There are probably more, but I think two posts is enough(!).  The top one was for a friend's birthday - she likes pink.
The next one was for my brother-in-law.  I always find cards for men a little trickier.
I think this card was my piece de resistance this year.  It was for my colleague at work whose partner is an entomologist. My colleague has now become interested in insects, so I made this card for her.  There are pockets and 'slides' with various bugs and beetles on them.
On the back of the card were many bugs too...
Here you can see the 'slides'.
I also added a little money envelope inside.  The only problem now is thinking what to make her for next year!
There have been thank you cards.
Lots of birthday cards...
...some including collage.
Then there have been Mothering Sunday/Mother's Day cards...
...and Easter cards (I love this Tim Holtz/Sizzix rabbit die set)...
...and more Easter cards.
Finally for this post, another birthday card, following inspiration from Tracy Evans, who has been posting lots of helpful 'snippet' videos on Youtube here and I have a few of her stamps so can make my own interpretations.
Part 2 coming soon...

Some cards

Some of these cards were from much earlier in the year, but I have only just got round to sharing them with you.  Above was a mixed media card with stamping on book pages.
These were collage cards, based on a Wanderlust page from 2021.
This one was turned into a Mothering Sunday card.
Blue and orange are my Mum's favourite colours.
Here's the card for my Mum-in-Law...
...and the inside.
This one was for my eldest sister...
..here's the inside.
Finally for now, here's the card for my niece.  Lots of nice bright colours.
I have recently got a papermaking kit and made my first paper yesterday.  A post will follow...
