60th Birthday

Today I am sharing a 60th birthday card that I made for a friend
 in the Summer.

I used one of the Hunkydory decoupage images, matted it onto blue card
and glued it directly onto the base card. 

I then added the sentiment, numbers and a couple of

diamante gems to finish.

The products I have used are:

Hunkydory - The Second Little Book of Decoupage

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.

The products I have used are:

Crafters Companion Die'Sire Embossaliscious Embossing Folder - Lattice

Marianne Designs - Mini Numbers
Square 'Circle Border' & banner die - Brand unknown

70th Birthday Card

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

inside. I then chalked the embossed floral areas with the pearlescent chalks,
added the die-cut sentiment, number and pearl gems.
