Folk Floral Birthday

Happy weekend folks and thank you for sharing yours with me. I am much enjoying preparing my Saturday posts to share my cards for


Our optional theme this week chosen by Dena is Birthday, of course it's also Anything Goes.

 You have probably noticed by now that if I am lacking mojo, I draw on the inspiration vault of Sam Calcott. This card is another one based on one of her brilliant tutorials here.

On a mission to actually use, at least some of my paper mountain,  I chose a Docrafts paper pack called Folk Floral, so pretty and unusual colours and teamed with teal looked lovely. The diamonds are attached to acetate so they really do look like they are floating. Another fab design from Sam.

Our sponsors this month are  SizzixAALL and CreateAldridge CraftsLavinia and Ruth Hamilton Design.

We have had celebrations chez Wills this week. Hubby had a significant Birthday (shhhh 60) so I swapped my working week around so we could celebrate. We had a delicious lunch out on the day and have more eating to do this weekend. Thankfully I have some summer dresses that will accomodate a food baby quite comfortably!! I hope you all have a lovely weekend whatever you are up to.

See you on Monday with something cute. Until then take care xx

Hi Sarah,
this is such a lovely shape card and the colours and papers used are so vibrant and beatiful.
I too love Sam's tutorials and have used quite a few of them lately.
My card I posted yesterday is one of hers and I am addicted to making them now.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

Wowsers this is awesome, I wouldn't even know where to start with a design like this. For me I expect there would be some crying involved somewhere!

Belated happy birthday to Martin, sounds like you celebrated well. As for your amazing card, I think I should give Samʻs blog a look, this design is amazing, especially with the beautiful papers you have chosen. Beautiful!
