together. I attached them to the base card using 3d foam pads.
Lastly I added the diamante gems.

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

used 3d foam pads to raise the other one.

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

A ‘Clean and Simple’ Masculine Birthday Card

Sharing a 'clean and simple' card today made for a friend
who celebrated his birthday earlier this month.

I used Pinterest again to give me some inspiration, which I 
seem to be lacking at the moment.

I used the deckle squares to cut a panel in white card, glued it to the
card base, then cut half a square in grey and glued that on top.

Using my Misti stamping platform, I stamped the birthday sentiment in
black ink.

I die-cut the 'happy' in black card and black 3d foam, glued them
together and positioned it at an angle above the stamped birthday.

The products I have used are:
My Favourite Things - Label Maker Sentiments #1
Lawn Fawn Script - Happy

A 'Clean and Simple' Birthday Card
