Skateboarder card


 This is my project for my DT post at movingalongwiththetimes

A birthday for one of my friends son. I always find male cards a challenge. 

This is a Hobbyhouse topper that I have mounted on blue card. 

I have printed a sentiment and die cut it with a Go Kreate die and then cut the next size in the set in a dark blue. I cut the numbers using Marianne dies in the light and dark blue 

I covered my 8x8in card with patterned paper from my stash. I added a strip of blue card down my card and added bakers twine to it/ I assembled the die cut elements. I added the numbers slightly offsetting them when attaching them.

I completed my card with stars that I cut with a punch

I die cut the sentiment using a Elizabeth Craft die and added it to a oval cut with a Presscut die and then attached that to another red oval cut with the next size oval in the nesting set. I attached that to my card using mounting foam. I have used a white and red strip of card with red satin ribbon for the stopper then added ovals cut with the same nesting set as before.

Poinsettia Christmas card



This is my first card using the Sue Wilson Twinkle Star frames.

I have matt and layered my 8x8in white card with gold card and white embossed card. I have embossed the white card using a Sue Wilson embossing folder.  I die cut the larger Sue Wilson Twinkle Star frame in white and the smaller frame in gold and assembled them onto my card. I die cut the scalloped oval with a Go Kreate die and added that over the centre of the gold twinkle frame. I added poinsettia that I cut with Tattered Lace dies and Star Sprays that I cut with a Sue Wilson. I die cut the banner also with a Sue Wilson die and added the sentiment cut with Tattered Lace diesbeofre adding it to my card with 3D foam pads. I completed my card with flat packed pearls.

Another 50th birthday card


This is a card for my DT post over at http://craftyhazelnutspatternedpaper.blogspot.co.uk/

This is another card for my brother-in- law. My Mother-in-law has asked me to make a card for him. I thought I should think of another theme this time. 

He is an avid supporter of his local rugby team so I decided to work around that.

I have printed a club badge that I have found on the internet. I have used green and yellow because they are the team colours. I matt and layered my 8x8in white card with yellow then green card. I have used some green and white gingham card down the centre. I die cut the badge using a Tonic die from a nesting set and then cut the green and the yellow in the next sizes up in the nesting set. I die cut the numbers and cup with Marianne dies. I printed a personalised sentiment and die it with a Sweet Dixie die. I assembled these elements onto my card. I completed my card with some stars I that I cut with a punch.
