Birthday Card for my Great Nephew

Today, I am sharing the birthday card I made last month for one of my great nephews.

His favourite football team is West Ham, so it was easy to use their team colours of
claret and blue!

I started by matting the square piece of embossed football card

onto claret card and glued it directly onto the card base.

I then added the number (raised on 3D foam), the sentiment, name and 
hand made card candi.

The products I have used are:

Crafters Companion Embossing folder - Football Crazy

Presscut - Happy Birthday

Number - Brand unknown

Hobbycraft - Circle Punch

Craft Stash Alphabet die set

A ‘Poppit’ Card for my 7 Year old Great Niece

 One of my great nieces loves playing with 'Poppits', so do I actually!
I was pleased to find this image online to use for her card.

I embossed the card base with the dot folder and printed the poppit image
 onto white card. Using one of the smaller label dies, I die-cut it and the
 mat and layered it onto lilac card made with the larger die.

I attached this to the base card using 3D foam, and lastly added the stitched
 banner with the peel off sentiment, the number and her name.

The products I have used are:

Spellbinders Labels 15

Wedding Anniversary Card

 Today's card is one I made for friends for their anniversary.
A clean and simple card using just two dies and a sentiment stamp.

I started by die-cutting the stitched square, then I positioned the hearts
die slightly above the centre. I stamped the sentiment in black Versa fine ink
and then used 3D foam tape to attach it to the card base.
Using some coral card, I die-cut a few of the hearts and glued them to 

directly on the card base.

The products I have used are:
Julie Hickey Designs stamps - I Need: Everyday Sentiments
Impression Obsession - Hearts within Hearts die
The Works - Stitched Square dies
