Birthday puzzles

This was my card for my neighbour friend's 80th birthday yesterday, printing out a Lexulous game as the background and adding the lovely Penny Black hedge-word stamp that had been inked with Versafine onyx black and heat embossed with clear detail powder, with parts of the stamped image coloured with spectrum noir pens and then cut round. The letter tiles came from The Works. The recipient enjoys playing Lexulous, so I thought this might be appropriate.


I wish I could show the shine there is  on the crossword brought about by the heat  embossing:

This is for:

LeAnn's world 101 31: anything goes
QKR stampede 405: anything goes
2 crafty critter crazies 43: anything goes (with an animal)

Happy 80th birthday

This 8 x 8 card was commissioned to be given to one of my neighbour friends where I live - it was her birthday yesterday. I used various Paper Boutique papers, flowers and gems. This picture looks quite dull ...  the card was actually brigher.

Peace

This A5 card was made with Kanban supplies, including the lovely card blank, which isn't 'Christmassy', but I thought it looks OK with the square letters and sentiment. The gold foiling is much better irl.

Merry and bright

This is the last set of five A5 cards made with materials from Wild winter and Very berry kits from Create and Craft (I'll be back some time with other cards from the kits as I still have lots of toppers and card left). Once again, toppers with various washi tapes using some of the A4 cards to make card blanks. I love how the robin has got into the picture again.

Berry Christmas

As I said previously, during the past couple of weeks, in between doing other cards and blogging etc, I've been making simple A5 cards from some of the two kits, using A4 decorated or coloured card as the card blank, using toppers and mainly decorating with various washi tapes that I already had in my Christmas stash.

So here is another set depicting berries and baubles.

These are for:

Christmas birds

A while ago I bought two Christmas kits from Create and Craft so that I could make quite a number of cards without too much time and fuss as I will need a lot to sell and also for me to send. One kit was called Very Berry and the other Wild Winter. In each of them there are various A4 pieces of card as well as many toppers of various sizes.

Over the past couple of weeks, in between doing other cards and blogging etc, I've been making simple A5 cards from some of the two kits, using A4 decorated or coloured card as the card blank, using toppers and mainly decorating with various washi tapes that I already had in my Christmas stash.

So, using the largest of the toppers I've made forty cards altogether, in groups of five similar cards with the same sort of topper.

Here are the first ones, with birds using a couple of plain A4 coloured cards folded as A5 blanks and three patterned.



These are for:

Merry little Christmas 27: anything Christmas goes
Christmas 24 19: winter birds
Moving along with the times 123: animals and/or birds
Crafty animals 43: anything goes
