Female Birthday Card

Today, I am sharing the card I made for my sister for her birthday.

The card base is a 6" x 6" square and I positioned the decorative edge die

on the right hand edge and ran through my die cutting machine. 

Next using just the outline edge of the die, I cut a panel of lilac card
and glued it underneath.

I die cut the flower die in silver mirror and lilac card, and inlaid the

outer and inside petals only.

The products I have used are:-
Decorative edge die - Purchased from eBay
Memory Box die - Cecilia Flower
WS Designs Sentiment Set - Happy Birthday

Ruby Wedding Anniversary

Today, I am sharing a ruby anniversary card which I made recently 

for my friend Mark to give to his parents.

I started by die cutting the bottle and glasses three times in the red card, and

then glued them together.

Next I glued a piece of acetate to the back of each, covered the acetate with

clear drying glue and then added glimmer dust to give the sparkle.

Happy New Home

Today, I am sharing a 'clean and simple' new home card made for my nephew and his wife. 

They have recently returned to live in their house, after having an extension built.

As lots of changes have been made, I thought it would feel just like moving into a
new home for them.

The house die is actually longer than this, and includes another house and some trees.
I only wanted to use the one house, so I cut it in the brown card twice, glued them together

and then glued it to the black card to create a slight shadow.

The materials I have used are:-
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder - Wens Window

House die - Purchased from eBay

Crafts-Too punch - Heart 

Challenges entered:-

Pixie's Snippets Playground - Anything Goes
Cards in Envy - Give it some Heart
