70th Birthday Card

 Today’s card is one I made last month for a friend for her 70th birthday.

I started my card by using the cut and emboss folder directly on to

the front of the card base. Next, I glued a piece of yellow card to the 
inside. I then chalked the embossed floral areas with the pearlescent chalks,
added the die-cut sentiment, number and pearl gems.

The products I have used are:

Lux Craft (Hobbycraft) Cut and Emboss folder - Floral Border

Presscut - Happy Birthday

Marianne Designs - Mini Numbers

Pebbles Inc - Pearlescent chalks

Golden Wedding Anniversary Card

Today, I am sharing the ‘clean and simple‘ anniversary card I made
 recently for my cousin and his wife.

Using snippets of white card and gold mirror card, I raised the champagne
embossing folder panel using 3D foam strips onto some mat and layered white
and gold mirror card. I then added the sentiment and gold gems to finish.

Annoyingly, I noticed after I had posted it to them, that the dot was
missing over the letter ‘i’!

Lux Craft Cut and Emboss 6" x 6" Folder - Champagne Celebration

Lawn Fawn Script - Happy

Presscut - Happy Birthday

These Cut and Emboss folders from Hobbycraft cut and emboss beautifully.

Although you can't see it very well in the photo, I used chalks to
highlight the embossing.
