Golden Wedding Card

I had been asked to make a Golden Wedding Anniversary card.

I have made an A4 card and matt and layered it with brown pearlised card and cream embossed card. I embossed the cream card with a Crafts Too embossing folder. I die cut the book elements using a Tattered Lace die set. Using my Gemini Foilpress I foiled alternate pages of my book. I shaped my pages using a rolling pin before attaching them to my card.  I used a Foil Cut 'N Stamp frame to cut frames for both sides of my book. I printed a personalised sentiment and included it within one of the frames and a die cut a 50 using a Tonic die to add to the other frame. I made the flowers using a Die'sire quilling die. I completed my card with ribbon and flat backed pearls.

I have made a box for my card using a scoreboard. I covered the box in brown card and added lace, ribbon and flat backed pearls to embellish my box.

Cute birthday card

I have covered my 8x8in white card with red card and green and white gingham card after distressing and inking all edges. I have added the hessian trim and satin ribbon across my card. I have die cut scalloped circles in pink and red using dies from a Xcut nesting set and added the Hobbyhouse topper. I die cut the shapes for the sentiment using dies from The Works and added the flourishes that I cut with a Cheery Lynn die. I added various other elements including flowers, pearls and moss. I purchased all these embellishments along with the ribbon and hessian trim from my local artificial floral supplies.

I used matching elements on my box for the card.

Birthday Card

I had to make a quick card because I had missed a friend's birthday

I matt and layered my 8x8in white card with green card and gingham card.

I distressed all the edges before attaching it to my card.

My friend is a keen gardener so I used this image from a Hunkydory little book.

I printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with a scalloped circle die from a nesting set and then cut a green scalloped circle with the next size die in the nesting set to mount the sentiment.

I completed my card with Tonic Nuvo drops.
