A card or two for my go-to box for next year

 I am trying to add some cards to my box ready for the next birthday season and the Cards for Kindness that I make for the UKSN list.

This first one was made when I found a very simple stitching pattern in one of my many folders.  I can not remember from whence it came but I thought I would have a play with it.  Here it is:

I added the back stitch border around the 'petals'? and the little stitch to join the petals together.  The central 3D image of the Lavender and jars etc comes from my collection of toppers from Hearty Crafts.  I bought lots and lots of the sheets to make up and now have a brilliant collection to choose from. I added the pink and lavender gems from another collection.

This second card is a pattern from Stitching Cards.  I have stitched this one quite a few times. As you can guess I quite like this one.

She is pretty enough without adding any froufrous apart from the gem centres in the yellow flowers.  This can be for a birthday or a CFK.

Stay safe.

CD Sunday Plus - Challenge #148 - hosted by Margaret

 I have a Christmas card to show you for my team card for the last challenge of the year.

This card was made (amongst many this year) using a purchased digital image.  This one was from a seller on Etsy - GiraffeCreative.  I added the border and the sentiment using my new all-singing and dancing graphics programme - ACDSee2024.

I am having a wonderful time using my computer with the new upgrades and printer that my son persuaded me that I needed.  It is true that you are never too old to try something new.

As this is our last challenge for this year may I take the opportunity to thank those that visited my blog for their kind comments and their support of CD Sunday Plus.  Next year will be our 15th year.

I look forward to yet another busy year and in the meantime:

HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.
