Footy Father's Day card

Another Father's Day card. I have used a topper from a Hunky Dory pad. I am finding these very useful for male cards. I find making male cards much more difficult than female cards. These toppers are great especially if the man has an interest. 

This is a 8x8in white card. I have matt and layered it with red card and white embossed card. I have embossed the white card with an Embossalicious folder. I printed a sentiment and die cut it with an oval die and die cut the next size in the nesting set in  red to layer the sentiment. I added the topper to the card. I completed my card with red stars which I cut using a punch.

A birthday card for one of my sons mates. Both of my sons have milestone birthdays this year so  I'm making cards for all their friends too. They love giving them handmade cards.

My eldest son goes cycling with a few friends so he picked this image from a Hunkydory pad. I covered my 8x8in card with gingham card from Anna Marie.

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

Photo - Portrait - Jun 3, 2016, 9:26:33 PM

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.

Ruby Wedding Anniversary Card

A 40th wedding anniversary card made for friends. I have used the Tattered Lace essentials book die. I have used red and white card alternatively.

I have cut two red scalloped ovals using a Go Kreate die from a nesting set and two flourishes with a Cheery Lynn die. I have printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with a scalloped oval, I also cut another white oval for the opposite side and added the numbers which have been cut using Tattered Lace dies. I cut the bookmark in red and white and embossed the white. I attached them to the centre of the pages and then added a congratulations sentiment. I assembled all these elements and then added flowers from my stash and handmade stick pins using Pinflair. I completed my card with Nuvo drops from Tonic and ribbon

Auntie birthday card

I'm struggling for inspiration with this Tonic die. I have used the die to cut into the front of a white 8x8in white card. I have cut the outer edge of the die into the pink card. My printed personalised sentiment has been die cut with the inner die in the set. I have die cut the flowers in patterned paper from my stash using a Cheery Lynn die. I embellished the flowers with buttons. I completed the card with flat backed pearls.

Pretty Fairy Card

This card is for the challenge over at Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper. 

I have coloured the image using my Spectrum Noir pencils. I have used patterned paper paper from my stash to cover my 8x8in white card. I have used the same paper to make flowers using a Cheery Lynn die. For each flower I cut it out twice and offset them when I stuck them together. I completed the flowers by added buttons from my stash to the centre. I die cut the image using a scalloped circle die from a XCut nesting set. I assembled my card then added flat backed gems around the scalloped circle.

Baby 1st Christmas Card

This card is for the challenge over at 2 Creative Chicks

I have made a start on my Christmas cards but time seems to be going so fast I think I need to speed up a bit with them

I have made this one for a Baby 1st Christmas. I have matt and layered my 8x8in white card with blue card and then white embossed card, I rounded the corners with a punch. I embossed the white card using a Crafts Too embossing folder. I have die cut the rocking horse and gifts using Tattered Lace dies. I have die cut the scalloped circles using Xcut nesting dies. The white circle will include a personalised sentiment closer to Christmas when I decide who the card is for. I assembled my card using double sided tape on the larger elements and pva glue. I completed my card with flat backed gems.
