Hello, here is a birthday card I made for my friend Christine who celebrated her
birthday last week. I centred one of the square Nestabilities on the front on the card,

and with the waste from the largest die, I pieced and glued them together

Thursday 5 November 2015

Female Birthday Card

Hello, today I would like to show you a birthday card I made for my sister Carolyn,
 using the 'die cut inlay' technique. 
Although a little bit fiddly to do, I really like the finished effect.
I first die cut the Wild Blooms onto a piece of white card which I then shaped with the Reverse Wonky rectangles. I then attached this to a piece of pink card and cut a 
narrow border by hand with a sharp pair of scissors.
Using a tiny amount of glue inside each of the petals and the stems, 
I then carefully placed the pink and green die cuts into each space, pressing lightly with 
a pokey tool for the pieces to be set in place. Using 3D foam pads, I then attached this topper to a larger Reverse Wonky rectangle which I cut in co-ordinating green card, adding dashes around the edge with a white gel pen. I embossed some diagonal lines on my base card using the Hougie board, cut the tag from the X-Cut set of tags, added the peel off sentiment, brads and the bow to the flower.

The items I have used are:-
Spellbinders Nestabilities - Reverse Wonky Rectangles
Memory Box - Wild Blooms
Docrafts Xcut - Tags and Bookplates
Hougie Board

65th Male Birthday Card

Hello, here's a card I was asked to make recently for a 65 year old male
 who had no particular hobbies. I played it safe and used just the numbers of 
his birthday as the focal image of the card.


I first attached the blue patterned paper to card, stamped both numbers,
carefully cut them, then edged each number with black Promarker as I had used white card!
I attached the square of co-ordinating paper to a piece of dark blue card, which I had first punched each corner using a photo corner punch, so the paper could be easily slotted in.
I then used 3D foam pads to attach the numbers, die cut the banner,
added a peel off sentiment and some punched circles of paper across each corner.

Items I have used are:-
Papermania large number stamps, 
Spellbinders Shapeabilities - Ribbon Banners
EK Success Corner Adorner punch - Photo corner
