Happy Birthday, Daughter

Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world. Marilyn Monroe

A commissioned A5 birthday card for a daughter who loves handbags and shoes. The background piece of Anna Griffin card was stamped randomly using a Docrafts stamp inked with memento tuxedo black. The background card blank was made using a piece of A4 Hunkydory. The sentiment was generated on computer and printed, using an offcut of Hunkydory card, matted on to gold mirror card. The topper was from a Kanban kit and the flowers are textured rub ons.


Inside, using a piece of gold foiled Kanban paper:

To a special person

A card using a bricked background, various toppers from Crafter's Companion Downton Abbey collection (this seems to be lasting for ages and ages, not that I'm complaining) with the addition of some rub on flowers. All of these were mounted on to a background taken from a card blank.

Thinking of you

A card using the same lovely embossing folder from Lisa Horton as for the previous card, but this time I got it the right way round so the design is embossed on the self adhesive copper paper, with the addition of a flower bought long ago from The Works and the sentiment circle from Anna Griffin.

Get well soon

I found an offcut of card that had originally been run through an embossing folder and thought I would use one of the recently purchased folders from Lisa Horton  .... but I debossed instead of embossed, but I didn't want to waste it so I used various alcohol pens to fit in the debossed leaves. I then added the spotty card either side (from my scraps( and the sparkly gold trim, adding the get well sentiment.

CHNC challenge 523

This is my design card for my CHNC challenge 523 -  please click on the link to find out what it's all about and I hope you'll be able to join in with your Christmas designs - anything goes as long as it's Christmas with the optional theme of 'upcycle or use something old'.

For my first Christmas card of this new year I've upcycled a topper taken from a card received (not just the Christmas gone, but the one before that). The rest of the supplies used are quite old, including the background paper from the Crafter's Companion Decorative Christmas pad ... most of this has been covered, but you can see the  silver and white through the glittered wired ribbon with sparkly snowflakes - this is also old, as well as the glittered tape on the left.
