21st Birthday

Here is a 21st Birthday card that I have made.  I embossed the numbers with the Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes embossing folder and then painted them using a silver Tim Holtz Dabber.

I used strong double sided tape to stick the numbers to the card and then added the Heartfelt Flowers with In Circle messages in their centres.  These were attached with foam pads (1mm where they overlap the number and 2mm elsewhere so the flower is level).

The card is finished off with black grosgrain ribbon around the spine.

Paper Roses

This card was made using an 8" by 8" Ice White pearlescent blank so is lovely and sparkly.  It was actually a commission for a birthday - I hope the lady concerned liked it!

The chipboard numbers were embossed using a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder and then I painted them with a silver Tim Holtz Dabber.

The paper I used for the roses is from Craftwork Cards - it is quite old though and I can't remember the name of it, but I thought it went well with the rest of the card.

Embossed Notch Tag - Stylized Flowers

Another really simple card.  This time I used a marshmallow Notch Tag and embossed it with the Stylized Flowers embossing folder.  Both the tag and the message are attached with foam pads to give dimension.

Embossed Notch Tag - Number Collage

I pinched the idea of embossing these tags from a card that Julie Hickey had made - thanks Julie!  I thought that this embossing folder with numbers on it would be suitable for birthday cards.

The flower is one of the new foiled Retro Daisies from Craftwork Cards.

Squares

This is quite a large card - I used an 8" square Craftwork Cards blank as the base for it.  The 16 squares were embossed using Cuttlebug Embossing Folders then stuck to the card using double sided tape.  I painted the chipboard flower using a black dabber, attached a white die cut flower to the centre using a jewelled brad and stuck the flower to the card with foam pads.

I stamped the sentiment onto white card, mounted this on black then on white again. rounded the corners and attached it to the card with foam pads.
