Made it Monday - Featuring Fans - Cards Corner

Hello dear readers and friends, I hope all is well in your world. I really meant to set this as a scheduled post for last Monday, but after all my hard work drafting it I forgot to hit the publish button!! I do have a lot on my mind - I was just beginning to get my sense of equilibrium back - but now I have stuff in my life going on that is very hard to cope with, - but enough of that. 

On to happier things - -

We organised a "Die cuts" Swap at our Craft club at our last monthly meeting - and all those ladies who wanted to participate cut some dies of their choice - a set of Nestie labels, 5/6 of  a "Topper" type die or a set from a collection - and I cut a set of fans from my Marianne Dies as my contribution - but when I was getting them out to cut them  - to my shock/horror  - I discovered that I have 9 dies which cut fans! To be fair one set are background shapes for the delicate lacy tops - but I felt so guilty!!! As a result - I thought - I really ought to use them!! So here are a few of the cards - in varying sizes that I have made using them. I am obviously an addictive purchaser of shapes/dies which I like!!! - I succomb to the same things time after time.

This card was made using a dies from Joanna Sheen - and it really cuts well  - it is very dainty and delicate and a small die - but so pretty. There are 2 in the package - the other die has a heart as a focal point - it is also very delicate and dainty - as you can see below on the on the 3x3 cards - and the heart cut out is a very acceptable size to use elsewhere - so don't discard it!!

   This die is also by Joanna Sheen and is one of her larger fans - also very dainty and delicate in design which cuts beautifully!

and finally I have a card made with with my Marianne fan dies

Thanks for stopping by, as always it is kind of you to "call".

'Til later,

Bannaghtyn, J xx
