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.

Welsh Rugby Supporter Birthday Card

A card for my sons to give their Grandpa on his 70th birthday tomorrow. He is passionate about Welsh rugby and follows it religiously. He is enjoying the six nations competition at the moment.

I have used a 8x8in white card and matt and layered it with red card. I have printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with a Go Kreate circular die. I have layered it on a green circle also cut with a Go Kreate die. I have layered a Three Feathers WRU image on green card. I have also printed a slogan and die cut it with a Tonic Studios die and rounded the corners. I have matt and layered it on green and red. I have added bunting which I have die cut using a Sweet Dixie die. I have completed the card with stars which is the waste from the bunting.
