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.

A son Birthday card for a keen fisherman. 

I have matt and layered the top and bottom of my 8x8in easel card with brown card and then white embossed card.  I used a Xcut embossing folder.

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.
