Birthday

Not keen on this one but I've been off doing my other hobby (climbing fells) lately and found it hard getting back into making cards this week. One of those afternoons where I kept pushing the same bits of card round for ages and just couldn't get it right!


Sticker is by Penny Black
Flowers are Prima
Sentiment by Craftwork Cards
Embossing folders are SU and Sizzix

Birthday

Flowers are 'Prim Poppy' by Memory Box
Circle and scallop are Nestabilities dies.

Birthday Wishes

Made at SU class.

Rainbow

Rainbows and clouds cut with Die-namics dies.
They're a bit time consuming to do so I decided to cut each one in half to get two cards out of one rainbow.

I like the flowers across the card but am not keen on the distressing effect so would leave that off if I was making it again.

Men

Made at SU class.

For You

Made at SU class.
I love this little box, very sweet.

Box

Our SU demo is a lovely lady who is so patient with me and my mum at class. We are always the last to leave!
It's her birthday this week so I wanted to give her a little gift to say 'thank you'.

I used, mostly, SU products. The only non-SU is the die for the box which is Sizzix Takeout Box.

The roses were made with Fancy Flower punch, a great tutorial here.
I tried holding the petals together with paperclips but some of them left little grey marks on the petals, hence the glitter to try and cover up the marks :)

After I'd put the box together I thought it looked too plain but had already glued everything.

It has something inside but I'll keep quiet as she might see this before her birthday.
