Happy Birthday

A card I made for Pat, one of my lovely club ladies.

Unfortunately my club is still closed, hard to believe - 16 months now.

For the card I used DCWV patterned paper and Sizzix dies. I think the embossing folder was a magazine freebie, the sentiment stamp is by PTI.

 

Bonjour

A quick card made whilst I had the paper pad (DCWV) still on my desk from the previous card.

Happy Birthday

I've already shown the birthday card I made for my mum recently. I liked the papers and the ribbon so much that I made another card, for one of my ladies, with the same products.

Instead of stamping this time I used sentiment dies by Sue Wilson. The paper is by DCWV and it's from a pad called Meet Me In Paris. I bought it from Craft Clearance for a bargain price, it's really lovely quality, ditto the ribbon.

I do find the Craft Clearance website a little frustrating in that if you look in the various categories you might not find an item, but it is actually there on the site, just not in the place you expect it to be!

So the pink ribbon is not in the ribbon category however it is listed under the brand May Arts. The search function is equally frustrating. The bargains are so good though, it is worth a half an hour browse, and they are very prompt to dispatch.

I find with sheer ribbon like this I prefer to make a couple of small holes and thread it through before tying, rather than glue which I get in a mess with (plus it won't drop off in the post).
