Shaped Wedding card (Flat Friends image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I used a Flat Friend image (sadly no longer available) and printed it small enough so that it would fit into my polaroid die to look like a photo of the happy couple. I did some black doodling around the outside of the shaped card and cut the hearts from a fancy heart ribbon I had. The sentiment was printed from my computer.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

A Gem of a Challenge - love and romance

AllSorts - fancy bows and ribbons (hearts cut out of felt ribbon and netting)

C.R.A.F.T. - inspired by a film - Peggy Sue got married

Crafty Ribbons - wedding/anniversary plus ribbon or lace (hearts from ribbon cut out and netting)

Creative Craft Cottage -  favourite colour combo - black and white 

Fussy & Fancy Friday - anniversary/wedding

Not Just Cards - anything goes 

Ribbon Girl - any card

Thanks for checking out my card. It's so sad to hear of the horrors in the world, I hope no-one is personally affected by the Orlando tragedy and I'm hoping you're all enjoying peace, good health and happiness in your lives.

Christmas Girl & Reindeer Card (Flat Friends image)

Hi everyone,

I have a few cards to show you over the next couple of days but just in case you don't have time to come back and visit - I wish you a very Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays with your friends and family.

I was given this gorgeous image from Emma the owner of Flat Friends when she was closing her blog, the good news is her store is still open though so click on the name if you want to check it out. This is such a lovely image isn't it? I used a lot of my snowflake die cuts here and even my lamp post die which I really don't use enough.  I added some sparkly pearls for the snowflake centres (it's not a typo, that's how we spell centre in Australia hehe).

Flourish with a Bling have a 50% off sale all throughout December, everything is half off!! I hope you'll check out our website as we have our own unique products and we post worldwide. Please email if you would like rough estimates of shipping, if we can send it as a large letter we will or perhaps get your friends to all buy too and share the postage!
