Birthday Cards

More of the cards I received last week.

My Birthday Cards

Some of the handmade cards I received for my recent birthday.

Cone

This is a template from House of Zandra.

Paper and strip are by K and Company, stamp is HOTP.

The cone is filled with mini chocolates. Actually the template suggests cutting an oval in the front and lining with acetate so you can see the contents but I couldn't be bothered with that!

Happy

Given the increased postage costs, yet again, I'm trying to make some cards that are relatively flat and with minimal embellishments.

This one is a stamp from Woodware combined with Sizzix Block Party die-cuts.

 

Birthday

Recently I picked up a free home-wares catalogue in John Lewis. When I got it home and looked at it more closely I realised the cover sleeve was a nice linen-effect paper...waste not want not!

Shoe

 Another shoe decoupage from House of Zandra

Shoe

I've struggled to get back into cardmaking this week after a break for Easter.
Normally I am not a fan of decoupage (too fiddly!) but I think it's just the thing when inspiration is lacking as the design has already been done for you.

This is a sheet from 'House of Zandra' and I've just added some glitter, backing card, and the sentiment.

Impreza

Recently I had to say 'goodbye' to my Subaru Impreza (although it wasn't stickered up like this one!) so to make-up for not seeing one on the drive-way anymore I decided a card was the next best thing. I might end up keeping this for myself to weep over.

The image was recycled from a recent card sent to my husband.
Embossing folder is by Darice.
Happy Birthday stamp is Papermania

Bon Voyage

My friend is returning home to Australia next week.

I've made her this card to wish her Bon Voyage.

All products by Papermania.

Cup and Saucer

Something I made for Mothering Sunday recently.

The cup and saucer template was from House of Zandra. I discovered their bricks and mortar shop a week or so ago and they have some gorgeous papers and templates that they design themselves but unfortunately I was in a real rush and couldn't stop to browse.

The cup and saucer took literally thirty minutes to make (not bragging! just saying how easy it was) so would be good for a little present at short notice.

How Old?

Sentiment is by Making Memories

Embossing folder by SU.

Butterfly

I've been quite poorly for a few weeks so card making took a back seat.

To ease into it again I wanted something simple, also needed it flat with no embellishments.

The blue stripe is just an ink pad sponged over the white card, masked with a couple of pieces of scrap paper.

The butterflies are from Penny Black "Social Butterflies" set  (I already had too many butterfly stamps but couldn't resist another!) and the sentiment stamp is by Woodware.
