Happy Birthday - 46

I've made this for a friend whose birthday is today.  The card is an 8 by 8 blank and the papers are from Daisy Bucket.

I embossed the chipboard 4 and 6 with a Cuttlebug embossing folder that has numbers on it and then painted them using a Tim Holtz dabber in Pool. The second image shows the inside of the card.

Happy Birthday Gary, hope you have a lovely day xx

Advent Tree

Here's an Advent Tree that I made using a kit from Tando Creative and Frosty Papers from Craftwork Cards.

The kit and the mini advent numbers came from http://www.theverysmallcompany.co.uk/  I used Dylusions Primer followed by Coastal Blue Kaisercraft paint.  The numbers are painted with a  silver Tim Holtz Dabber and I painted them before removing them from the sheet.  I also used the Dabber to paint the top of the tree.

It did take a long time to make but it was worth the effort.

Shabby Vintage

I used Shabby Vintage papers from Craftwork Cards for this card.  The belt, buckle, flower and button are also from the same collection.

The Candi that I used is made from chipboard and I coloured it with a gold Dabber.  I also used this Dabber round the edge of the panels.

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.
