Heart Easel birthday card


After seeing lots of inspiration for a launch of dies to make easel cards, I used the heart dies I already have to make this easel card. I printed a personalised sentiment to add to the large heart. I die cut the sentiments and numbers and added them to the other hearts. I printed a verse and added it to the
base of the easel. I completed the card with Tonic Nuvo drops.

Personalised 21st Birthday Card


I have matt and layered my white 8x8in card with lilac and then white embossed card.

I printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with a Spellbinders die from a nesting set. I attached this to a lilac scalloped circle before attaching to my card. I purchased the key from a card shop a few  years ago. I embellished the key with flowers and pearls before attaching to my card with hot glue.

Finally, I completed my card with flat backed pearls.

Mam birthday card


I have made an 8x8in white easel card. I matt and layered the top and bottom with pink card and then white card. I have used a Cheery Lynn die to cut the valance for the top of my card. I added the lattice that I cut with a Cheery Lynn die. I die cut a printed sentiment with a Presscut oval die from a nesting set. I attached it to a pink oval cut with the next size in the nesting set before adding it to my card. The image is from a Papermania set.

Pocket Hug

s

I had the inspiration from social media.

I made this for a friend who is social distancing and finding it difficult particularly because it was her late husbands birthday on the weekend.

I cut a DL card in half. I covered the white card with lilac card. I cut all the corners with a punch.
I printed the sentiments and cut them to size. I found the small heart in my stash. I added the die cut sentiment that I die cut with a die from a nesting set from The Works. I attached these elements to the card. I added ribbon to the heart and attached it to my card using a paper fastener so the recipient can remove it.
