Biscuit themed Thank You Cards / Creative Stamping 122

Happy Monday!
I hope you have a wonderful day!

Today, I have 3 super quick Thank You Cards using the free gift from Creative Stamping magazine issue 122. I made these for the amazing catering staff at my work and they deserve all the gratitude. 

'My Cup of Tea' free stamp collection is just perfect to create quick and fun cards. I also used my new Oval Nesting dies from Craft Stash and I love them. I will definitely use them more often.

NO DIES Tower Fold Card THE EASY WAY to make Mother's Day Card #polkadoodles

Happy Thursday!

Hi all crafters, it's Monika with a Mother's day card today. 

I enjoy playing with Fancy Folds and I created a tower fold card. As Mother's Day is very special, I used the digi stamp from 'The Darling Buds Big Bundle', 'The Crocus', it is my number one collection. I used alcohol markers to colour in the image and to decorate the panels I used 'Spring into Easter' set 2 and 'Spring into Easter set 3' digi papers. I thought these soft colours with a little bit of contrast would be a perfect combo for a Mother's Day card.

Happy crafting!
