Bling Bunting!

I spent yesterday doing the usual household chores and in between I watched the Diamond Jubilee celebrations on the TV.

I thought I might get some inspiration for the card I wanted to make for this weeks challenge over at "Less is More". 

The challenge is to use Red, White and Blue, but all I could picture was Grey! Lol.

 Still in good old British tradition everyone seemed to enjoy the day regardless of the typical English weather. It was a glorious sunny day here in Cyprus but I still found myself wishing I had been in England for such a patriotic, once in a life time event.

As they say you can take the girl out of the East end but you can't take the East end out of the girl! 

Here's what I came up with 

 I'm also entering this card to the CAS-ual Fridays

challenge:- PUT A BLING ON IT.

I used white card stock, punched two holes and threaded some red twine to hold my bunting which I downloaded from Ian Barnard Design. Added some red glitter. The sentiment was a freebie from birdscards that I played around with to change the colour and size.

Got time for tea?

 It's 'Recipe' week over at "Less is More" and the challenge is to make a card which is not a square or a rectangle.

 

I have a friend who did me a big favour of taking my son to all his exams the last couple of weeks and I wanted to make her a card to say thank you and also to say we must get together for a cuppa and a chat. We are both busy working mums and never seem to have the time!

I drew my own cup shape cut it out and used it as a template to make the base shape on white card stock. Cut out another two cups and glued them to the front of the card. Punched some little flowers from some scrap yellow gingham and pink paper. Cut out a little tag a used rub on letters and numbers for the sentiment.
