A very warm welcome to my teeny, tiny part of the huge world of blogging. This is where I share my passion for making hand made greeting cards. So - why "Always with a Heart"? Well this is for two reasons. Firstly, it is because every card I produce carries a heart on it somewhere. This can be big and bold or small and almost hidden - the fun sometimes is just trying to find it! Secondly it is because I put my heart into everything I produce. I hope that any visitors enjoy seeing what I post. If you drop by then please leave me a comment so that I know you called. It would be nice to know that you have found my heart in what I do.

BIRTHDAY SUNDAY SNIPPETS

Hi Everyone

Here again .. .. at last .. .. after a few VERY busy days here in the House of Hearts.

Our buyer wanted to come to view again and measure up in readiness for all the plans he has once we hand the keys over  .. .. and this involved us having to make the whole house "viewable" and "accessible" again!  We had boxes and piles of stuff we were sorting out everywhere LOL!!!   

So crafting (very sadly) had to take a back seat.

But I am back again today with a birthday snippet card (just to give you a break from Christmas).


This used:

Card and papers from the snippet mountain range
Martha Stewart Edge Punch:  Daisy
Julie Hickey: Sentiment Dies
First Edition: Flower Die set
X-Cut Mini Die Button
X-Cut Corner Rounding Punch
Hot Fix Nail Heads
My Trusty Sewing Machine

Sorry, not sure what die I used for the leaves, these were already cut and sitting in a box waiting to be used .. .. .. .. and how about my tiny snippet of ribbon threaded into the die cut button! I don't think I could ever use a smaller piece do you?

I hope you are having a good weekend?  A very wet and windy one here today so I'm not planning on setting foot out of any doors if I can help it!

You certainly take snippet to the extreme Jules..using that small piece!! incredible. Love the sentiment and your use of hot fix and punches. A blast from the past too! Not seen anything of Julie Hickey around for ages and I like her stuff. xx

You've made a very pretty card using the relatively plain birthday sentiment, well done for using up some tiny snippets.

A lovely birthday card Jules - I'm enjoying finding your hearts again!

We've had a wet and very windy day here too, but now tucked up at home for the evening.

Beautiful birthday card Jules, pretty papers and I love that bold sentiment die. The weather really has been shocking hasn’t it … I looked outside half an hour ago and thought the weather looked ok so I might go Christmas shopping … but it is raining again now!!
