Card collection

Hi there blog friends and visitors . Welcome to my room .
Hope that your week is progressing well.
I meant to post this earlier but ..life just got in the way .
As the title alludes to , this post is a small  collection of cards that have been made recently and now ready to share .

This one I printed papers on both sides of Whisper White card ..
                                                        inside

Materials supplied by myself  for Sandy to create this one .

          And this one from Sandy

This one is a new style for me ..

                                                         inside

Card stock for these came from my stash .All paper and front toppers / tags  were  printed from Kraftyhands  In Sympathy CD .

In Sympathy Mini CD Collection

                    
Mike says of the CD

"There comes a time when sending a card to a friend or a loved one isn't a happy occasion.
There are those moments in life where words are not enough and all we can do is let someone know that they are in our thoughts.
In Sympathy is a new CD collection designed for just those moments. The resources on the disc are designed with muted colours and soft tones, calm and tranquil flowers and serene backing papers.
The card making sets are designed as gate fold 6x6 cards with all the panels and inlays made to the right sizes for you to cut out and layer.
Included on the disc are backing papers, toppers and a wealth of complimentary resources for you to make your own freestyle cards. All with matching colours, patterns and designs.
Disc Includes:

• 6 x gate fold 6x6 card making sets
• 66 backing papers in 6 designs.
• 36 sets of two part mat & layer toppers in matching shapes
• 24 alternative verse panels in matching & coordinating colours
• 24 tag toppers in matching colours and patterns
• Inspiration Gallery "

There are so many ways to mix and match papers,  toppers and tags along with sentiments from this fabulous CD , that one can  always create an original !
As I am part of the DT  at Kraftyhands challenge blog I am at times supplied with CDs and or craft  materials which I use to show case their products  .
My next showcasing of  Kraftyhands  products will be with some masculine themed creations . Coming soon , so please watch this space..

    Catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-Anne.

So my card to share is,

Hi there.   Just felt like popping into blog land .
 Thanks for joining me here and I hope that you like what you see .
Had to borrow the stamp set that I used from a crafting buddy , Jane .

I loved how this quick card turned out with the simple layout and no colouring AND NO EMBELLISHING . Well ok 3 rhinestones .

Found this SU embossing folder for the first layer just suited the masculine feel that I was after .
