Female Birthday Cards

 Today I am sharing the birthday cards I made recently for my sister
 and two of my friends.

The same style card, in different colourways.

I used this beautiful 3D Lisa Horton embossing folder to emboss a square
of white card. I just love how deeply embossed the peonies are!

I then matt and layered it onto the coloured card, and glued it onto the base card.
Next, I die cut the ribbon die, glued it onto the embossed square, and
added the sentiment.
 I finished the card by adding the pearlised and diamante gems.

The products I have used are:

Birthday Card for my Great Niece

 Today, I am sharing the birthday card I made for my great niece.
She still very much likes playing tennis (along with other sports), so I was
pleased to find this image online to use.

After printing it onto white card, I used the square 'circle border'
die to cut it out and matted it to a pink card square.

I embossed the card base using the lattice embossing folder, and used
 3D foam to raise the tennis image on the card base.

Lastly, I printed the computer generated sentiment, die cut it with
the banner die and glued to a piece of pink card and cut a narrow
border freehand and added the number.

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