4th Birthday Card

I have made this for a little boy who loves Buzz Lightyear.

I covered my 8x8in white card with green and white gingham from Anna Marie.

I printed an image and die cut it with a Crafts Too circle die. I die cut a personalised sentiment with a die from Sue Wilson. I added his age with a number cut using a Tonic die.

I completed my card with stars that I cut with a punch.

Valentine's Card

This is my first request for a Valentine's Card.

I have matt and layered my 8x8in white card with black card and then pink embossed card. I die cut the heart with pink and black card. I assembled the heart before attaching it to my card. I die cut the banners and added the sentiment. I completed my card with Tonic Nuvo drops. The heart on my card is a perfect design for the drops.

Wedding Card

I have made this wedding card in the same colour scheme as the wedding

I have die cut the book elements using a Tattered Lace die set and shaped them with a rolling pin before attaching them to an A4 card.

 I embossed the white card and then printed the personalised elements and die cut them with ovals from a Presscut nesting set. I die cut the couple using a Cheery Lynn die and the horseshoe with a Sweet Dixie die. I added flowers and ribbon and finally Tonic Nuvo drops.

New Baby exploding box

A personalised New Baby exploding box. There are some instructions under tutorials on my blog.

Frozen birthday card

I have covered my card with blue card from Hobbycraft.

I die cut the snowflake borders with a Sue Wilson die and attached them to my card and added ribbon to the borders.

I die cut the image with a Tonic die from a nesting set. I used the next size in the set to cut a white rectangle to attach my image to. I added a die cut sentiment and snowflakes that I cut with a punch.

For my topper I purchased some Christmas cards from M&S in 75% off sale that are Frozen themed and only a few cards in the box have a Christmas sentiment.

Birthday Card

This is my January post for craftyhazelnutspatternedpaper

Sorry for the delay in posting this onto my blog. I haven't been feeling myself for a while so I have needed a bit of encouragement to do some crafting and blogging.

I have used a cream 8x8in card and covered half of it with patterned paper from my stash. I added some lace across my card. I printed a sentiment and die cut it with a banner die by Sue Wilson. I cut the larger banners to layer the sentiment. I added some floral embellishments along with some flourishes that I die cut with a Cheery Lynn die. I die cut the numbers with a Tonic die and added them to a die cut that I cut with a die from The Works before attaching it to my card.
