3 x 3 note cards

Hi everyone Charlotte here

Today I am sharing some 3" x 3" note cards



I used card measuring 3" x 6" and I scored at 3" 

I then added patterned paper measuring 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" 

I tied a knot around the paper with white ribbon and decorated with petite petals

I have popped the paper panel and 2 pf tbe petite petals up to give some dimension

Time to share

Hello to all you crafty people out there

I think it is about time to share one of my creations 


A simple swirly birthday card 

I was inspired by the patterned paper with the shades of green 

I cut the hearts out with the fabulous bigshot ~♡it 
I then embossed the white card with a stunning swirling pattern I then sponged the swirls with a dark green ink and outlined with a silver gel pen 

I love the way the card turned out now just waiting for a birthday to come up 

Thank you for visiting
