Penblwydd Hapus card

I'm so proud to be Welsh and think my sons have a real talent to be fluent Welsh speakers. These dies are great for a Welsh recipient. My sons send Welsh language cards so this sentiment die is fantastic.

I have used a white A4 card. I have cut an orange piece of card to cover the card. I cut into the orange card using a die from the Tonic Studios Celtic Dream set. I then used the square die from the set to make a bigger square. I cut a white panel to stick down the centre of the card then added the die cut square. I cut a small scalloped oval and added that to the centre with the Penblwydd Happus (Happy Birthday) cut using a Tattered Lace die.I added a daffodil cut using a Lea'bilities die. I made a small box to stick on the side of the card, I will use this for a small gift

18th Birthday Card

This card is for my post for the challenge over at Moving Along With The Times. The theme is age related sentiment.

I decided to make a 18th birthday card

I have used an A4 card and folded the front of the card in half to create a landscape easel card. I have used pink and white card to matt and layer the card. I have die cut the elements using pink card. I have used a Tonic die to cut the centre. I have cut 18 today using Tattered Lace dies in white to place in the centre. I have die cut two glasses using the Britannia party glass die. I have cut the bottle using a Tattered Lace die. I have printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with a rectangular Tonic die from a nesting set and cut the next size in pink to layer it. I die cut the Happy Birthday with a Tonic die. I assembled my card. I used foam pads on the rectangles for them to act as he stopper for the easel.

I decided to make Christmas cards today. I always say I'm going to start earlier, I did start earlier this year but I haven't made many. This year is flying by!!

 I love this spotty paper from Anna Marie. She was in the show at Cardiff on the weekend she had so many beautiful projects on display.

I used a 8x8in card. I rounded the corners with a punch. I covered the card with the spotty paper. I die cut the reindeer name die by Sizzix in red card. I glued the die cut onto white card. I glued that onto the spotty background at an angle. I will add my personalised sentiment in the heart at a later date. I die cut a reindeer in brown card.

Girlfriend card

The order I had to make today. I love this heart by Tattered Lace and it is always popular with other people.

This is a 8x8in white card.I have matt and layered it with pink card and white card. The white card on the bottom of the card has been embossed with a Tattered Lace embossing folder. I have also used the Tattered Lace narrow embossing folder to emboss white card to put across the card. This card has just the right space for ribbon, so I have added pink satin ribbon.

A 40th wedding anniversary card made for friends. I have used the Tattered Lace essentials book die. I have used red and white card alternatively.

I have printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with a scalloped oval, I also cut another white oval for the opposite side and added the numbers which have been cut using Tattered Lace dies. I cut the bookmark in red and white and embossed the white. I attached them to the centre of the pages and then added a congratulations sentiment.
