Get well card with magazine freebie!

Did you manage to get this die and stamp combo free with Simply Cards and Papercraft (issue 149)?  I love the overlaying of ink with this set and made a shabby chic style get well card ( for my SIL, who has now gotten well!).

I used a favourite Marianne Design lacy border for the circle - (Basic Round - CR1331)

The sentiment is from Stamping Up, and I didn't have the right colour seam binding so coloured it with Tattered Rose Distress Ink.

I've not been making any cards this last week as we've been decorating my new craft room and moving all my stash in!!  I am so delighted it with it but am waiting for some storage boxes to arrive so will post some pics when they're all in place!!

Happy Bank Holiday weekend UK crafters!

Hugs, Juliexx

Shabby Chic

Hi all - we have a new challenge that starts today over at Whiff of Joy Challenges and we have a lovely theme of Shabby Chic.  I've picked this gorgeous image, Tea for Two,now available as a Digi here -  so cute!

The papers are Prima Madeline, the flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, and the lace from stash.  

This fortnight, the challenge is sponsored by the wonderful Simon Says Stamp with an amazing $25 dollar voucher to spend in their online store. And if you'd like any more reason or inspiration to join us, just check out the fabulous makes of my WOJ teamies here!

I'm just taking a few minutes after hubby's birthday celebrations to write this then I must be off to my bed! Will catch up soon I promise!!
