Happy Birthday trio of cute elephants gatefold card -  Day 71 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts!

I then stamped the...

Ladybird series of cards (my own design) - Day 47 of my 366 day challenge   Hi Craft Addicts! For Day 47 of my 366 Day challenge, I am looking at a series of cards I made using a Ladybird design I created a few years ago. I really love the design (even if I say so myself) as I think it is cheerful and fun. As you can see from the photo, there are square cards, small and large cards, gift boxes and bags, bookmarks and gift tags all slightly different but all fun. I will also be producing kits so you can make your own projects - they will include toppers, sentiments and much more... .
