A Few Cards

A quick post sharing the cards I've made in the last month or so. 

I'll kick off with one that I made using a Jenny Wren cut-file called Criss Cross Grid from Twilight Crafts which I backed with pieces from a 6x6 pad for my second DT post this month.

One based on the May card sketch from Stick It Down,

and another for June's sketch:

Then two for Sketch 'n' Scrap - this was card sketch #266,

followed by card sketch #267, where I made the happy discovery that this stamp fits nicely in this die.

Finally, I made a Thank You card with another Jenny Wren cut-file, this time I used one of the cakes from Cupcake Elements in an aperture card.

Disclosure - I received the digital cut-file free of charge from Twilight Crafts as part of my Design Team role. All other supplies are my own.

Brighton Belles

Today I'm sharing the first of my June pages for Twilight Crafts using a Jenny Wren cut-file. I've started making pages for my 2024 annual album now, including this one from a Sunday last month when I took my mum down to Brighton to visit my daughter.

I split my background up using the Large Circles Background cut-file in white cardstock layered over a floral paper at the bottom and a darker starry paper at the top. I printed two photos at 3x4 and built up a paper stack behind them over the join.

Supplies

Paper - Maggie Holmes Round Trip, Bo Bunny Little Wonders, Maggie Holmes Chasing Dreams, Amy Tangerine Shine On
Letters - Elle's Studio

Flowers - Docrafts
Enamel Dots - Carta Bella

Pages for Annual Albums

I'm changing up my monthly posts to be posts on a theme, and losing the schedule so I'll post whenever I switch from one subject or album to another. Last week I shared ten 8x8 pages for my parkrun continued album, and now I'm turning my attention to the rest of the pages I've made recently, which have all been for my annual albums. I made most of these at the Twilight Weekend Crop mid-month, though few were completely finished then and I brought them home with notes about what else I needed to add or finish off, which has taken me until now.

47. Dave Gorman - Powerpoint to the People (2022)

I let the background paper do most of the work on this page, with a paper stack behind my photo and a scattering of paper circles, enamel dots and mist on the printed stripes.

Supplies: Paper - Heidi Swapp Hello Today; Enamel Dots - My Mind's Eye
