Happy Birthday son-in-law

This is an 8 x 8 commissioned card that I've made today. I was asked to do a birthday card for a son-in-law who likes golf and cycling, so I put the variety of cycles as the backing with a piece of PDA card and craft paper towards the right with gold strips either side, adding the banner and golfing stickers, as well as the silver foiled Happy Birthday and Son-in-law sentiments, all raised up with 3D foam.

21st birthday

This is an 8 x 8 commissioned card I made a while ago for a 21st birthday. I was asked to include some pink gin. I chose the background papers to emphasise happy birthday with the Dovecraft Happy Birthday label. Flowers were from Hobbycraft. I printed the sentiment on to pink card and quickly covered with silver detail embossing powder and heated, matting on to the stripes mirror card.

Pink birthday

This gatefold card was made for me to give to a Frend using some paper that was with a magazine. For the front I stamped Cherry Blossom by Lindsay Mason (Personal Impressions) inked with memento love letter. The lovely butterflies were then added.

For the inside I continued the paper, using another piece to print the Happy Birthday, with another butterfly. The other sentiments were done with my dymo letratag.
