Skateboard birthday card




Another 13th birthday card!! My son's girlfriend asked me to make a card for her brother. I have been spending some time trying to work on better photographs too. 

I have used a white 8x8in card and covered it with patterned paper from a Paper Stack. I have used card from my stash to mount my Hobby House topper and to stick a panel down my card. I die the 13 with Marianne dies in two colours and offset them when I stuck them down. I printed the personalised sentiment and die cut it with a Go Kreate die and die cut the the next size up in the set to layer. I used a punch to make stars and completed my card with the stars and some thread.

Iris folded dress



This is my first attempt at Iris Folding.

A 8x8in white card I have matt and with floral patterned paper from my stash and white embossed card. I have printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with a die from a nesting set by Xcut. I printed the template and cut a frame for my Iris folding. I stuck the completed design on the card using foam pads. I completed my card with Tonic  Nuvo drops

Buckle Thank you card



Another Thank You card for the lovely staff at the local hospital who provide great care for my Mother-in-law.

An 8x8in white card. I have matt and layered this card with red card and white embossed card. I embossed the white card using an Embossalicious folder. I have cut the Sue Wilson Scalloped Lattice Buckle Bar die 4 times in red and joined them together to create a square. I have printed a sentiment and cut it out using part of the Sue Wilson Oslo die. I have cut the outside of the Oslo die in red and placed the die cut sentiment in the centre.
