Footy Father's Day card

Another Father's Day card. I have used a topper from a Hunky Dory pad. I am finding these very useful for male cards. I find making male cards much more difficult than female cards. These toppers are great especially if the man has an interest. 

This is a 8x8in white card. I have matt and layered it with red card and white embossed card. I have embossed the white card with an Embossalicious folder. I printed a sentiment and die cut it with an oval die and die cut the next size in the nesting set in  red to layer the sentiment. I added the topper to the card. I completed my card with red stars which I cut using a punch.

Birthday card for cyclist

This card is for my DT post over at Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper

A birthday card for one of my sons mates. Both of my sons have milestone birthdays this year so  I'm making cards for all their friends too. They love giving them handmade cards.

My eldest son goes cycling with a few friends so he picked this image from a Hunkydory pad. I covered my 8x8in card with gingham card from Anna Marie. I cut the circle using two dies from a Go Kreate set. I cut the sentiment using a Tonic die and the numbers using Marianne dies. I assembled my card and completed it with two buttons from my stash.
