A 'Clean and Simple' Birthday Card

Today's card is one I made for a fellow crafter who celebrated
 her birthday yesterday.

I kept the design clean and simple, by firstly die-cutting the word
 'happy' on a square piece of white card. I then embossed the square and
attached it to the lilac square glued to the card base, with craft foam to the
main panels and 3D foam squares to the letters, to give it good support
through the post. I then added the die-cut 'birthday, some sequins and Nuvo drops.

The products I have used are:-
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder - Polka Dots
Clearly Besotted Stamps - Birthday die
'Happy' die - Purchased from eBay

A 60th Birthday Card

Today I am sharing the card I made for a crafting friend who joined 

the sixty's 'club' yesterday!

I started by cutting a square in the base panel of pearlized lemon card.
Next I die cut the pretty squares panel and matted it onto navy blue 

and gold mirror card.

Using two of the larger square dies, I made a frame and glued it onto 

the aperture and added the numbers. Lastly, I decorated the square with flowers
 and leaves, and finished with the oval sentiment.
