You will be forgiven if you think you have seen this cute card on my website already.  I loved the Country Woods Gift Bag so much, that I created a coordinating Country Woods Note Card to give a matching greeting card with my beautifully wrapped gift.

I love the wood panel design of this stunning patterned paper from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper.  The rustic, beachy colours were the inspiration for this cute gift bag...

I made this special birthday card for hubby back in April when he had a rather significant birthday.  His gift was a glider flight voucher to celebrate, which is why I created this aeroplane birthday card with the fabulous Take to the Sky Suite.

Mmmm... look at the stunning colours I have used with the Layers of Beauty Bundle - scrummy!  But how did I die-cut only part of the beautiful bouquet?  That's a fun partial die-cutting technique!  But first...

How cute is this!  I have used the Country Birdhouse Bundle to create a fun gift box that (almost) fits a whole box of Hersey's Kisses!  The last few pieces of chocolate were taste-tested to make sure they were okay to gift.

On Sunday we held the Hamilton Extravaganza, an incredibly fun day of creativity and growing friendships in our crafting community.  There were five teaching teams and five fabulous projects that everyone loved creating.  Fiona and I taught this fun-fold birthday card using one of my favourites from the annual catalogue... the Country Birdhouse Bundle and the accessories from the Country Woods Suite.

I love slimline cards as their extra height makes them a little more special than regular-sized and regular-shaped greeting cards.  And this birthday slimline card is even more special as it has a lovely cascading z-fold or z-shaped finish...

How sweet is this birthday card, with the soft, blue skies!  This simple card design uses the ever-popular Adventurous Sky stamp and die bundle to create both the background scene and the two fabulous planes.
