A recent card

Good afternoon ladies I hope you all had a good weekend.

Today I have a photo for you of another recently made birthday card - by me, that is :)


I wanted a nice clean & simple card & in my "I will use that later" box was this butterfly background piece - which I had stamped, by the way!.  I cut out the size I wanted using a scalloped edge die & after trying it straight onto the base white card realised I needed a colour behind it.  As quite often happens - I chose black card, which I trimmed close to the edge leaving a small border around.  I then stamped the greeting & cut that down & mounted it on black card as well.  I decided to make the sentiment a feature on the front of the card rather than inside it. Two gems on the sentiment topper & a little flourish at the side.

There you are - that is me for today.  Tomorrow I will show you the card I made for Gareth & Elaynes wedding.

'Bye for now.

Oops nearly forgot - would someone from CSNW let me know how their meeting went at the beginning of the month, please. I have been thinking about it.

Over the last year or so all 3 clubs have been getting themselves sorted out in order to continue running the clubs from now on. Remember I announced in 2019 that I would be standing back at the end of 2020 & retiring.  I will of course keep in touch & visit the meetings now & again.  But it is now time for me to hang up my stamps.  Well not literally as I will still make cards - but you know what I meant. All 3 clubs now have the way forward sorted.  C

Jayne Nestorenko

Good morning I was informed this morning, by Rita of Mold II club, that Jayne Nestorenko had passed away on Saturday evening after a long illness. I suspect that there may be some amongst you who do not know of her - but many who do. I followed Jayne's work for a long time & many of those lovely large wooden stamps that were around came into my collection beause of her enthusiasm & creativity. I particularly enjoyed using, & held many workshops at Daleside, to show how to use the Treasure Box stamps which were very popular; I cannot now remember who made those stamps & there were different sizes & you made different shaped boxes according to how many pieces you stamped.  Then of course you also had the matching medallion stamp to place on the top of the box. The crafting world is saddened by the loss of this lovely lady. Sleep peacefully Jayne.
