70th Birthday Card

I have had a nightmare with my blog in the last couple of days. I deleted photos from my phone and little did I know I would delete my photos from my blog!!

I have had to crack on with some cards today because I have birthdays coming up as well as Christmas.

This card is a little out of my comfort zone but my Mother-in-law is 70 on Sunday and this is her favourite colour and she loves butterflies.


I have matt and layered my 8x8in white card with a turquoise?? and white embossed card. I embossed the white card with a Xcut embossing folder.  I have used Creative Expressions Gilding Polish to enhance the embossing. I have used a set by Sue Wilson to cut the frames. I have used a Presscut nesting set of ovals for the sentiment. I have cut the numbers using Tattered Lace dies. I have used Lea'bilites dies to cut the flowers, I have used an embellishment from Chloe Creative Cards to complete the flower. I have completed my card with Tonic Nuvo drops.

Card for an owl lover



I have made an 8x8in twisted easel card. I had these Hunkydory papers and topper in my stash and they are ideal for the girly, owl loving recipient. I have used patterned paper on the top and bottom and use a topper on the easel. I die cut flowers with Xcut dies and added an  embellishment to match the other elements. I have used foam pads on this so it will act as a stopper for the top of the card.

I  would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Christmas Card





This is my card for the challenge over at digichoosday.blogspot.co.uk/ I have used a 6x6in white card. I have matt and layered with red card. I die cut the lattice with a Cheery Lynn die and the poinsettia with Tattered Lace dies. I die cut the holly and used red Tonic Nuvo drops for the *berries*. I also added the drops to the lattice

Candy Cane Christmas Card



This is my card for the challenge over at craftyhazelnutspatternedpaper

I have covered my card with red card and patterned card from a Papermania Jolly Santa pad. I used satin ribbon on the join of the two papers. I die cut the sentiment with a Crafts Too die. I die cut the candy cane with a Sweet Dixie die. I glued the die cut embellishments to the card.
