50th birthday card for cat lover

Something a bit different for me. A neighbour and friend is 50 today and it took some thought about what I could put on his card. He has two cats, one is black and white so I thought maybe another iris folding if I could find a pattern.

I cut them in white and black card and off set them when I stuck them down. I cut a scalloped circle with a die from a Xcut nesting set. I cut red stars using a punch.

My first attempt at Parchment

My first attempt at Parchment. I have always thought about giving this craft a go. Recently I have watched demonstrations on television and wondered if it was worth a go. I adapted a project from a magazine to include materials I had and using the recipients favourite colours. The corner holds the bookmark keepsake in place.

It is far from perfect but my Mother-in-law loved it.

The corner die used is by Heartfelt Creations. I have used brads from my stash. I have printed a sentiment and die cut it with a Go Kreate die.

Another 13th birthday card

Yes, another 13th birthday card. My goodness thankfully Mother's Day cards are on my list next!!

This is very much like one of my other creations just a slight variation on the layout. My sons love the reaction they get when they give their friends  their personalised cards.

I have used a 8x8in white card and started with a Hobbyhouse topper. The spotty card is by Anna Marie, I  have covered my 8x8in white card with the card. I have used a green coloured card from my stash to pickup the colour from the image. I have cut a circle with two dies from a Go Kreate set. I have die the numbers with Marianne dies, I cut them in two colours and off set them when sticking them together . I printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with a rectangular die from a Tonic Sudios nesting set. I cut the next size in green. I completed the card with three buttons from my stash.
