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.

My Groovi project

       


I have used the butterfly wreath to do the image. I then went on to the border die (from border 1&2 set) and worked my way around my image. Inside each semi circle of the border I did a dot. I coloured the image using my Spectrum Noir pencils. Now for the harder element.............

I have had a request for a baby boy card but we are still waiting for the arrival for the details which I will print and will be where the white rectangle is.

I have used blue and white gingham paper to cover the top of 8x8in white easel card. I have die cut the trellis with a Cheery Lynn die in white and backed it with plain blue card. The train, shoes and Baby are all cut using Marianne dies. I have die cut the train and shoes in blue card and the Baby in white. I die a scalloped oval using a Go Kreate die in blue card. I assembled all these on the top of the card. 

I used the gingham paper to make a stopper on the bottom of the card. I die cut the pram using a Marianne die in blue and mirror card.

Deer Card


My first project  with the cute Marianne dies. I have matt and layered my 8x8in white card with baby pink, bright pink and white embossed card. I embossed the white card with a Xcut embossing folder. I curved the edges with a punch. I cut a tree with a Memory Box die. I cut layers of green card with a grass die by Memory box. I cut the deer in beige, baby pink and dark brown. I positioned them in the grass. I cut the fence in brown with a Memory Box die. I completed the card with flowers on the tree and a few flowers in the grass both types of  flowers are cut with a punch and I added flat backed pearls to them.

I have used the Groovi baby plate with Garden bird with branch, the circle nesting plate and the straight piercing plate and coloured my image with Spectrum Noir pencils. I have used corner punch 02. I cut around the square with Pergamano scissors, I am finding the cutting a challenge but I'm going to keep trying.

I have used a 8x8in white card and matt and layered with yellow and white embossed card, I embossed  the white card with a Tattered Lace embossing folder. I mounted my parchment on dark blue card.
