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.

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.

Table Place Cards

I was recently asked by a friend if I could make some table place cards
for a special birthday lunch.

The colour scheme for the event was rose gold, and I found some
lovely glitter card in Hobbycraft to use.

 
My friend also came up with the idea to include her guests menu choices 
on the inside of the card. This helped with everyone knowing what they
 had pre-ordered and of course when folded over, it helped the waiting staff too!

The leaf die-cut was glued directly onto the card base, and I used 3D foam pads 
for the name.

The products I have used are:
Spellbinders Nestabilities Rectangles and Scalloped Rectangles
Leaf die - Brand unknown
