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.

ANYONE FOR CAKE?

Hi Everyone

I hope you all enjoyed the weekend.

I am happy to report that all of my Penny Black stamps are now unpacked (yay) .. .. so I have started putting them to good use:


This used:

Image:  Penny Black “4320H” Prize Cupcake
Sentiment:  Debbie Moore "Birthday Definition" (a very old wooden stamp)
Papers from snippet mountain (the happy birthday paper is from Buddly Crafts but I am not sure where the grey patterned paper came from)
ProMarkers
Spellbinders Circle and Scalloped Circle dies
Corner Rounding Punch
Snippet of ribbon
My Trusty Sewing Machine
and Glossy Accents which I added to the cherry on the cake!

Really hoping I can make a big dent in my snippet mountain this year.  It seems to be growing more quickly than I can use it! LOL!!!

Take care everyone .. .. catch you again soon.

A delightful card with lots of interest - loving the birthday definition and of course the image is great. I'm sure you are having fun unpacking your various crafty goodies and revisiting them - almost as good as having boxes of new 'stuff' . I'm not sure we will ever get to the end of our snippets but it's certainly very enjoyable trying.😊

Great use of that image and I love the lace patterned paper, it makes a wonderful background. Good luck with your snippet mountain, I am surprised it wasn't culled in the moving process xx
