A few April cards

The first week of my Easter holidays were spent at home in Essex with a brief trip to Kent to see my Dad, Stepmum and sister. Thus, the first week was the perfect time to make 20 cards. Yes, you read that right! 20! My little sister almost died of shock when I turned up to theirs and handed her birthday cards for my Dad and my Stepmum's Dad AND for Father's Day plus my Dad's wrapped presents. (all the above events are in June! I figured I'd save on postage and my general malaise at posting!) I also gave HER card to my Stepmum!

Want to see SOME of what I made?

Of course you do!  I'll ration them to a few at a time, so you don't get too bored (and also have more crafty posts to share anon).

Up first, my big sister turned 40! 

This one was made using the same flower punches, gems and metallic card  as my Mothers' day card. The only difference was the addition of glittery number stickers, a square shape and a green pen to make linking foliage.

I really HATE Blogger sometimes. WHY has it turned this card sideways! That's NOT the way it was orientated but I can't seem to change it.
Anyway, turn you head to the side to view.  This was for my Penpal Katie (the blogger formally known as Hook, Line and Sink her) and made use of stickers and adhesive gems!

I also made a Thank you card for another penpal Lucy (the blogger formerly known as Books and Brooches. I wish these girls would still blog!).  She sent me some beautiful belated birthday presents and I wanted to send her a card alongside her recent letter!

Any ideas here that you might use?

Do let me know if you do use them!
