2 any occasion cards

Hi all
Here are 2 cards I have made that could be used for almost any occasion .I like to have a few of these cards ready for those last minute forgotten occasions ...I used the SU basket weave embossing folder.a background stamp with lace and roses on it and I cannot remember where it came from .The flowers were made using the tattered rose TH die and the same Su folder I used for the background .The centres are fab pearl embellishments from creative expressions

Happy 70th Birthday

christmas snowflake hanger

Hi all
I did a Christmas demo yesterday and still felt in the Christmas crafting mood so I make this 22cm high snowflake wall hanging...I used silent night papers from Trimcraft which I distressed with antique linen distress ink. I punched some snowflakes, made a rosette for the centre using a TH die. I added the ribbon and hey ho there it is. I really quite like it ...that is something coming from me as I don't particularly like Christmas decorations at all
