I've had a few cards on the go lately, and haven't been able to sit and share them here also.....not all can be shared here until they reach their recipients though :)
Shown here are some of the things I have been playing with.
Card 1 is for a couple, who I haven't actually seen for quite a while, but Mum used to regularly make String Hoppers for her back in my school days....So I have very fond memories of her and those days. I've used a bit of a combination of products here.....Stampin' Up! cardstock and inks, champagne flutes are a long retired Stampin' Up! set. There's a bit of hot foiling and a lot of heat embossing.....and I think I like how it turned out
Card 2 is my card to David for our anniversary last week. I think I ended up using all products in this, apart from the cardstock. I'm not totally happy with the colour of the whiskey itself, but as a first play with this set, I think I did OK.
Photo 3 is my ChocoFlan dessert for the family dinner for the anniversary.....Recipe thanks to . Everyone really enjoyed it !!!!
Card 4 is a card that I made a few weeks back for one of the physios at Lift. I heard it was her birthday, and had just received the items to do a few classes using products I don't normally use, with a few teachers I have not followed previously. I have not done all the cards yet, but this was my first attempt.....before fully following a class. Dies and background stencil are from Spellbinders. Inks from Stampin' Up! and cardstock was a mixture of Spellbinders and Stampin' Up!
