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.

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.

Birthday Card for my Great Nephew

May and June are busy cardmaking months with five family birthdays!

Today, I am sharing the card I made for one of my great nephews. 
This year I decided to come away from the usual tractors and made
him a football themed card in West Ham colours who he likes.

I partly embossed the card base with the Crafters Companion Football
Crazy embossing folder, and then used my Hougie board to emboss two lines.

I found a free football image which I printed on blue lightweight card
to use as a backing paper, which I matted onto white card with
the edges coloured with a claret Promarker. I attached it to
the card base using 3D foam.

I used a football die on black card, glued it to
some white card and hand cut, and then die-cut the number
in claret card to mount on top of the football.

The sentiment is computer generated.

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.

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
Hobbycraft - Rose Gold Glitter Effect Card

Female Birthday Card

I’ve just realised I had forgotten to share this card with you last year.

I was asked by my friend’s husband if I could make my friend

a card for her birthday, and this is it!

black card and glued onto the card base.

Next I die cut the sentiment three times in white card, glued

them together and placed in the centre of the card.

Lastly, I printed the other sentiment and die-cut with the oval die, 

then added some sequins and diamanté gems.
