Another card using the illustrated letters

 

Another card using the illustrated letters and the little people, this time for my daughter   It actually looked better in real life compared to the photo

Another Jumper Card

 

Another man's card using the jumper stamps again.   The jumper was actually more red than the picture shows.   I must confess that I wasn't feeling that bright the day I made this, as was the day after my vaccination and I was feeling very tired.   It was late in the day, as I had fallen asleep for 3 hours in the afternoon, but knew I had to get the card in the post to my nephew, and I really hadn't the energy to start again - thus it wasn't perfect!   However, it is the thought that counts.

Illustrated letter card

Hi there, thanks for popping in.   I am afraid I have been a bit lazy on the crafting front this month.  I am putting it down to the weather and the dark days we seem to have had, which isn't that conducive to painting or colouring etc.,  and of course the continued boredom of lockdown  They eyes just don't like it!   However, the days are getting brighter, I have had my three-monthly B12 jab so the energy has returned, and last week I had my first covid vaccine.

However, I have managed to make some cards this week and this is the first of a few.    This was created using some new Clarity Stamps.   Am loving these new decorated letters.  Not so good for men's cards as a bit flowery, but great for female ones.

Sympathy Card

 A simple Sympathy card for a friend.  Her father was a good age and had been ill for sometime, but still difficult when the time comes.   Her mum died in the September. so it has been a rotten year for her.  I will add that neither died from Covid - which was something.

And ...... Another!

 Ye, I know   ,,,, I seem to be hooked on this jumper stamp from Clatiry.   Made this one for a 10 year old great great nephew who is into football.    I couldn't find small enough stamps to add the B and 10 so they were added with a micron pen.

Birthday Cards - Variation on a Theme 3

 ..... and the last one in this little trio of variations.   This has proved a really useful stamp, and the fact that the money from its purchase went to Children in Need is a great feeling.

This time in addition to the jumper stamps, I used a little butterfly from IndigoBlu.

Also may I take this opportunity to wish you all a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year and here's hoping that we get back to some sort of normality in 2021. x
