Drummer birthday card

My baby becomes a teenager today, where have all the years gone!! Here is the card I made for his grandparents to give him.

I have used a 8x8in white card and covered it with red card. I have embossed white card with an Embossalicious folder. I have highlighted the detail with gilding wax. I have used an image from a Hunky Dory little book. I have cut the 13 in tan card and red card using Marianne dies. I offset them when sticking them together. I stuck them to a scalloped circle, cut using an Xcut die. I have printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with a Presscut oval die  and die cut the next size in tan to layer the sentiment.

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.

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.

Birthday card for cyclist

This card is for my DT post over at Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper

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. I cut the circle using two dies from a Go Kreate set. I cut the sentiment using a Tonic die and the numbers using Marianne dies. I assembled my card and completed it with two buttons from my stash.

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

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.

Girlfriend card

The order I had to make today. I love this heart by Tattered Lace and it is always popular with other people.

This is a 8x8in white card.I have matt and layered it with pink card and white card. The white card on the bottom of the card has been embossed with a Tattered Lace embossing folder. I have also used the Tattered Lace narrow embossing folder to emboss white card to put across the card. This card has just the right space for ribbon, so I have added pink satin ribbon. I assembled my card and completed it with flat backed pearls.

Daddy birthday card

A Daddy birthday card for my Husband. I have used a fishing image from a Hunky Dory pad. I have embossed blue card with the Embossalcious picnic plaid folder. I layered the image on orange card. These colours picked out colours from the image. I printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with a circular Go Kreate die. I have cut orange stars with a punch to complete the card.
