first 2 cards made from Hunkydory Flutterby Wishes (came free with Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine)

Its been another stressful week, nothing new there, and I'd not felt like crafting at all until yesterday. I pushed out all the die-cut decoupage from the Hunkydory Flutterby Wishes free cover gift with the latest issue of Cardmaking and Papercraft and layered it up with 3D foam. Its not my usual type of crafting as I love the challenge of cutting out my decoupage but I needed to make some female birthday cards for craft friends on DOCrafts forum and the colours are so pretty and fresh. they are both A5 cards and use toppers, sentiments and backing papers from the pack, I've just added mirror card and adhesive gems to finish the cards off.

Just made one card this week

On Tuesday this week, we received a handwritten thankyou note for the handmade wedding card I made for hubby's workmate for his wedding 3 1/2 weeks ago, so glad they liked it.

Due to poor health and being in a lot of pain, I've barely crafted this week, but I have managed to make one birthday card, its the first of 10 I need to make for a customer. I used decoupage & backing paper sent in a recent craft goodybag swap and all other elements of the card are from my stash.
