PTI May blog hop

Hi and thanks for peeking.  The challenge this month was to use felt and I've made 2 cards.
 
The first uses some layered flowers I cut with my Cricut. I used the deep cut blade and stabilised the felt with heat 'n bond first. I hand stitched around the edges of the flowers to give them some definition and the leaves come from YOF violets:


The second card is a congratulations card for a friend who just bought a new house.  I designed the house using SCAL (super easy - just weld a square, triangle and rectangle together).  Used a strip of paper from the Green Boutique pad and scor-tape to create the glitter strip.

  17. Very cool! So clever to just make your own :) Hey Anne, I have a question or, well, a request. I am making a mini album for my boyfriend's birthday and (it's one of Cosmo Crickets blackboard albums) it only has 6 pages, so I made some more pages for it - but... the regular hole punch my host family has doesn't reach far enough. I do have a Crop-a-dile at home in Germany, but not here in Auckland. So basically, I was wondering whether you could somehow help me. It's really just punching some holes into cardstock, that's all I need... I hope you're fine in rainy Auckland and have a good day!
    Best wishes!
    Nina
