Birthday Card for my Nephew

Today's card is one I made for my nephew for his birthday which was 

just before Christmas. 

He is a West Ham United football supporter, so I made the 

card in the team colours of claret and blue.

I used snippets of light blue and burgundy card to make this card, along with a

snippet of vellum which I wrapped around the embossed panel after tearing the edges

and heat embossing the stamped birthday sentiment.

.

I die-cut each of the letters in burgandy card and black foam, glued them 

together to give the raised effect on the card.

I found this idea on Pinterest.

Crafter's Companion Embossing Folder - Football Crazy

A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge #124 - 'Anything Goes'

A new challenge starts today at 'A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge Blog'

where the theme is always 'Anything Goes'

Here is my design team card made using one of the set of

Fantasy digi papers.

Details of the challenge can be found HERE

where 3/5 randomly drawn winners will each get to choose

3 sets of Lozzy's papers.

For my card, I have used the 'Reverse Frame Technique' which I found
HERE on Natasha Foote's YouTube channel.
She shares some amazing cards and card making techniques.

I printed the digi paper onto white card, which I then cut to fit a 6" x 4" card base.

Next, lining up one of the larger Spellbinders dies in the centre of the printed card,
I ran it through my Cuttlebug to create the frame. Using 3D foam tape, I placed
this directly onto the card base.

With the die-cut piece of card, I used one of the smaller dies and ran it through
my Cuttlebug. Before placing inside the frame, I stamped the sentiment
and added a few gems.

 

The products I have used are:-

Lozzy's digi papers Fantasy
Spellbinders Labels Ten
Sentiment stamp - Brand unknown
