70th Birthday Card

I have made an 8x8in white easel card. I have matt and layered the top and the bottom with turquoise, silver and white embossed card. I embossed the white card using a Tattered Lace embossing folder. I die cut the three striplets using Sue Wilson dies. I attached them onto white card and then cut around them before adding them to the top of my card. I die cut the perfume bottles using Sue Wilson dies adding double sided adhesive to the die cut bottle and then attached the die cut detail to it before adding Tonic Studios Nuvo glitter. I have cut the numbers with Tonic dies and added them to topper that I made using a Sue Wilson die set.  I printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with a Tonic die from a nesting set and mounted it onto a rectangle cut with the next size die in the nesting set. I attached this to the base of my card using foam pads so this will act as the stopper for the easel. Other personal details that I was asked to add have been printed and cut with a die from a Presscut nesting set.  I completed my card with Tonic Nuvo drops.

Valentine Gift

This is a little something that I made for my son's girlfriend. I have followed a tutorial that another crafter had kindly added to social media after many people asked how she had made something similar to this. I have used a Tonic star nesting set.

I attached the stars to ribbon with a knot and loop at the top so it can be hung.
