Anniversary Card

A clean and simple anniversary card to share today, which I made recently
for friends and for my nephew and wife.

The embossing folder I've used is one of the first ones I purchased

many years ago but have not used for a long while.

After embossing a panel of white card, I matted it onto some pink card 

using 3D foam, and glued the cut-out heart directly onto the pink card.

Lastly, I added some diamanté gems and the peel-off sentiment onto 

the punched card.

The products I have used are:

DoCraft XCut - Aperture Dies Cutting Die Set - Amore

Woodware punch - Scalloped Oval

Birthday Card for my Nephew

Here is the birthday card I made for my nephew last month.
I came across the idea for the design on Pinterest.

Going through my snippets box of design papers and card,
I found two pieces of blue paper and glued them to some
light weight card. I then edged them both with a blue Promarker.

The darker piece I glued directly onto the card base, and I used 3D
foam on the striped piece.

I stamped the sentiment using one of the stamps from the 
Woodware - Francoise Read 'Made for You' set onto white card,
cutting a banner tail end on one side.

I also edged it with the Promarker, then glued that onto the front
 and added a couple of enamel dots to finish.

Anniversary Card

Today's card is one a friend asked me to make 

for her recently. I went for a 'clean and simple' style of card.

Using snippets of blue pearlised card and plain white card, I die-cut 

the flowered heart onto a stitched square and glued it directly onto the 

ornate frame. I used 3D foam squares to raise the frame on the textured base card.

I placed diamante gems to the centre of the flowers, and then added

the sentiment.
