Flaky Friends...

Hi all,

Well what a lovely day it has been. Went to a Macmillan event and the sun just shone all day. I finally completed my Flaky Friends Accordian Card Organiser Box and made five Christmas cards to go inside to bring with me as a raffle prize. You never guess who ended up taking home my box..... My Mum! lol. She liked the box and cards so much and knew how much work went into it, that she couldn't bare seeing it go to someone else, so she chose my gift amongst the other prizes. I don't know, what is she like!

Anyway, here are all the cards I made to go inside the box:










These were all made with Stampin' Up! goodies - cardstock, stamp set, inkpad, Stampin' Write pens, ribbons, embossing powder and punches. Non-SU goodies used were the May Arts red and white dotted ribbon and the green twine.

Thanks for stopping by, have a lovely weekend.

Bye for now,

Alex

Accordian Card Organiser Box

Hi all,

Well this week is turning into another beautiful day, weather wise. After making a Christmas card yesterday for the Stamp With Us Challenge, I was in the mood for some more festive themed goodies, so I decided to follow a tutorial and create my own accordian card organiser box to hold my Christmas cards in.

As a first attempt, I'm really pleased with how this turned out :) I'm due to go to a Macmillian Coffee Morning at the end of the week, so I plan to make another one of these with about five matching cards and envelopes as my gift.


Hope you like it, I've used the retired stamp set "Flaky Friends" which I think are adorable :)
