Back On Your Feet

Hello everyone,

Sorry I haven't posted for a few weeks, I've had a tough couple of weeks due to me wee rabbit Daisy hurting her back leg after she jumped out of her cage the wrong way 😢 and well... I've just not been in a creative kinda mood. 

Unfortunately we had to say goodbye to her last Sunday as she had taken a turn for the worst and it would have been too cruel to let her continue on the way she was going. 

This is one of the last photos we took of her last Sunday 🙁 She was 9 years old so had live to quite a good age, she shared my craft room with me too and was usually found hopping around my feet, she was a wee fighter and I'm really going to miss her 😢💕

Today I have made a card for the spot creative challenge blog, it kinda sums up the way I've been feeling too. This card was made using the Back On Your Feet stamp set from stampin' up. It's a clean and fairly simple card to make too. I hope you like it. 

Thanks for stopping by 🙂

A few weeks ago I was asked to make a card for my Sister in law. 

This card was not too expensive to make and the most it cost me was my time. I used free backing papers that I had downloaded from a magazine a few years ago and trimmed this down to 6 x 6 inch. I used the snow globe scene dies from stampin' up to cut out the aperture in the backing paper, I kept the cut out part too. I then took the piece with the aperture cut out, and placed it on my card. I cut various different leaves and foliage then working and gauging the placement of how my vase would look I began to snip the stems roughly about 1/4 to 1/3 off the base of the stems and place them inside the cut out aperture. I stuck the globe behind the backing paper, put double sided tape around the aperture and red line tape on all 4 sides peeling back just about 1 inch and folding the peeled back  red tape so that it sticks out. I completely removed the tape from the bottom of the backing paper and positioned it on the card on the bottom edge only. I put sequins inside the globe then put the card face down and removed the tape. The rest of the foliage and flowers was then glued into position. 

Thanks again for stopping by
