Swan Die-Cut Card

Happy New Year everyone!  I can't believe Christmas was over so fast lol.

I have a card to share today that is a bit different for me.  My fella buys me Die-Cut Essentials mag every month and Januarys has this gorgeous Swan die-cut in it.  I took inspiration from a designer called Sue Hughes who did cards with this die and tweaked the designs to my liking.  I really enjoyed making this and found it made a nice change from colouring stamped images.  It's also nice to have a card ready for my friends birthday in February.

Die Cut Peacock

Hello crafty friends.  I was sitting outside in this gorgeous sunny weather when the man opposite started trimming his hedges with a really noisy hedge trimmer.  Sounded on it's last legs to be honest.  Well the bloomin' noise was causing me a headache, so I decided to come in and put a card on...

This is a really gorgeous die and it came with this months Die Cutting Essentials magazine.  My fella got it for me and I love it.  I die-cut the frame out of gold mirri card and mounted it onto pink patterned papers.  The sentiment was also part of the set.
