Female Birthday Card

Today, I am sharing a birthday card I made earlier this month

for a friend.

I used the ‘cut and emboss’ folder which I was lucky enough to win in a

 competition last year, but have not used until now.

I used the folder directly on the card base, and glued a panel of

lemon card on the inside.

I then stamped the sentiment in silver ink, and die-cut it using the frame-lit die.

Next, I glued it to the lemon card die-cut using the labels die and then 

used 3D foam squares to attach it to the centre of the card base.

Lastly, I added two diamanté gems to finish.

The products I have used are:

Spellbinders Cut and Emboss Folder - Floral Reflection 

Spellbinders Labels 14

Sizzix - Framelits ‘Hello’ set of dies

Clearly Besotted stamps - Brushed Sentiments

A 'Clean and Simple' Wedding Anniversary Card

Today, I am sharing a very 'clean and simple' anniversary card
made for my friends at the end of last month.

After gluing the die-cut border directly onto the card base, I used my

Next I die-cut two hearts in red card, glued one onto the card base and
used 3d foam pads to raise the other one.

I then added a couple of diamante gems to the hearts to finish.

The products I have used are:
Memory Box - Tessatina Border
Heart dies - Brand unknown

A 'Clean and Simple' Birthday Card

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

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.
