MMM - Mid-week Motivation - Thank You Card

This week's challenge is a choice - a Mother's Day card or a Thank You card and today I have a Thank You card to show you.
This card has been made using a whole load of scrap bits and pieces. The card is pre-scored (I do like my cards to be all the same size) however - all the card stock and paper for matting and layering is scrap pieces, the ribbon is from some gift packaging and the image is some left over from a printed page from a CD Rom. It is of course Spring related as it's daffodils and comes from the RHS CD Rom by Joanna Sheen. Please take a look

That's it for today - please scroll down for the latest top 3 winners and if this has inspired you to take part in our challenge this week you can find it here.

MMM - Mid-week Motivation - A Girl's Best Friend

Our challenge this week is Flourishes and Diamonds - after all they are a girl's best friend. Well my card for you today encompasses more than just diamonds 'cos as we all know diamonds are very difficult to come by (thank goodness for QVC!!) and I have included such delights as shopping, handbags, shoes, cocktails and cake.
Also fresh from a craft class I attended last night I decided to make a Neverending Card - take a look

This is the front of the card with the cocktails and a few hearts and flourishes. There is a centre opening and the sides fold out and round to show the next part of the card

 
Now we come to the cake and a glimpse of some shoes. By the way all my stamps come from various sets from Studio G - they are very tiny sets that I got from my local craft shop for around 99p. This time the card opens horizontally - up, over and down.......

...... revealing the handbags to match the shoes. The card alternates vertical openings followed by horizontal openings and this time we open vertically to reveal the back of the card and a picture of we girls do best!

Finally the card opens back out to the front of card ready to start again.
Last night at the craft club we had templates to work from and I believe that Papermania make kits with pre-scored pieces of card stock for you to make this style of card, however I have found a video tutorial on Youtube here if you would like to have a go at making one yourself - enjoy!
