To 'mat' or not to 'mat'......that is the question!

Evening everyone, and a very warm welcome to all my new members.......whoohoo 115 at the last count, this blogging malarkey is great!

Well, I have some exciting news to tell you tonight, our brand new blog is being launched on Friday June 1st.
This will be a challenge blog for TWINCHIES.....and if you haven't a clue what a twinchie is, check back over the weekend  for more details. (I will be making a few to blog over the next couple of days )

I've had a strange week so far..... not much crafting as I've been into college, working quite a bit, so I'm just showing a couple of very quick cards tonight. And when I say quick, I mean very, very quick, less than 5 minutes to be precise!
I need your help deciding whether to 'mat' or not.....both very easy and simple to do, but I like simple now and then :)


I ran the card through the printer,
scored, folded and trimmed to make a 5.5" square.
Stamped the design , coloured the leaves and added 5 red gems......simples!


This one took about 2 minutes longer, just the extra time to mat onto red mirri card.
Can't make up my mind which one I like most. If I'm doing simple, then I think it should be very simple.
What do you think??

An extreme change from my last card, don't you agree?


Hopefully be back tomorrow night with a 'twinchie', but until then, enjoy the sun, I certainly will xx

  3. I have to agree, the matted one looks more professional. More (gift worthy) as they say on C&C lol xx

  4. Both versions are gorgeous, but the matted one looks more finished and makes the image stand out nicely

  5. Yep, I prefer the matted one, it sets it off. But isnt it nice to just do simple once in a while - mind you I can't believe you're thinking of Christmas already - I hate organised people like you lol x

  13. They're both elegant, but the one without the mat works slightly better for me. Well done for being able to leave it like that! xx
