Festive greetings

Another card made the other day using papers that were on my table - the green background has a flocked feel and the snowflake paper is gold foiled, as is the large sentiment panel from Kanban (a shame that the gold foiling doesn't show up in the photo). I added a couple of the lovely gold glittered snowflakes from Italian Options.

I used papers from The Works for the backgrounds of my card with a panel of turquoise card across the middles, with a matching piece around the edges of the card on the right.

Sentiments were added and glittered silver snowflakes on the card on the left and a piece of washi tape on the other card.

Happy Birthday

I made this a few days ago to send to my step-son for his birthday. I used Hunkydory for the card blank, folding an A4 piece of card so that the pattern is also on the back of the card. I added papers from Papermania Mr Mister collection and added the two decoupaged bikes - can't remember where these came from, but just right for what I wanted. I printed the sentiment and die cut with a Spellbinders die, added the cork stars.

Happy birthday Grandson

This is an A5 commissioned card made today to be given to an adult grandson who works with computers. The background card is Hunkydory (it's the same on the back) and the Happy Birthday sentiment paper is from Kanban. I printed the sentiment and die cut with a Spellbinder die, using a larger one to cut out of Hunkydory card (used the rest for the inside of the card). I used a word cloud that I had previously created for another commissioned card, again cutting with a Spellbinder die. I just added a few stars here and there.


Inside:

Happy birthday for a golfer

I needed to make a commissioned 8 x 8 card this morning for someone who likes playing gold. The background paper is from Paper Nation (long ago), not sure where the golfer images came from ... decoupaged. The Scrabble type letters from The Works are lovely shiny copper. The big Happy Birthday was from a set from Kanban.

This is for:

Cardz 4 guyz 257: birthday for an adult male
