Today I have a card to share with you the I made for my sister and her gorgeous little family, who are moving into a new house today. It's been a very long wait for them...they thought they'd be moving at the end of May but there have been lots of hold ups. But today they'll be in, so I thought I'd send them a card to say "Yippee"!
Sorry the photo isn't great, I played around to try and get a better picture but alas I gave up. Hopefully you can see in the close up that behind the cut out of the house is a map, which is of where they are moving to. I got the idea of using maps in projects last summer when I was looking for ideas of what to give my husband for our second wedding anniversary. I found framed cut outs of a heart with a map as the backing which could be personalised...the cost - £55! I decided I could do it myself quite easily and all in all did it for about £15 which even included buying an OS map to make sure the quality of the map was as good as could be.
The map in this card I printed from the OS website "getamap", which is why the print is a bit pale. The house I cut using my craft knife after drawing freehand, and the sentiment I printed onto card. I have raised up the kraft card on foam pads, as well as the sentiment to add some dimension.
I have the day off work today as I had a tummy bug over the weekend. As I work in a hospital I'm not allowed to go back until Wednesday...I'm still feeling weak so going to make the most of sitting around and use the time to do some more crafting!
