A card for my sister in law

Here's a card I made for my SIL.
Thankfully she received it before her birthday on Sunday.
The mail up here is so un-reliable, another of the disadvantages of living so far out west.
I used some more of the 1970's wallpaper
I received as a christmas gift
for the lower cream coloured border.
I found at Big W a while ago now
a packet of months of the year
 and
thought they would come in handy for cards.
I circled her birthday.
The pretty vintage flower was part of a gift from my SIL last year.
The double bow was SO fast to do...
I
used
The Amazing Paper Grace
method.

My version of a peg bow maker.
And I just love the music
and
background border stamps
from
JustRite Stampers.
Their stamps are the best quality and make a perfect stamped image every time.
Some stamps
are
so
troublesome
but not these.

Made a little card today


Made this little card today.
It's the first time I have made a shaped card.
It's completely not me colour wise
but
I wanted to use some vintage wallpaper that my friend gave me for Christmas.

These are most of the tools and supplies I used just to make one little card.

This is the inside
I'll be sending this off in the post tomorrow.
My friend Jenny needs some cheering up.
