Hedgehog Birthday

My friend Dawn adores hedgehogs. I spotted this image on the scrap table at our cardmaking club and snatched it up quick to make her birthday card.
The sentiment is made from three Waltzingmouse stamps and I've attached the ribbon using a ribbon slot punch by SU.

Together

In real life I swear these ribbon layers are totally straight and the card isn't as dull as it looks!

Tag is a Spellbinders die, stamp is Waltzingmouse

Thanks

I've done similar cards to this before; I like the three panel layout.
This time I've used American Crafts card for the panels, a Waltzingmouse stamp for the sentiment, everything else is SU.

Dad

The card I made for my dad for Father's Day recently.

He loves anything to do with nature so I used Papermania 'Home To Nest' range.

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!

More Tilda

Papers and die-cut are Tilda
I've added some stitching, lace, eyelets, and a flower (cheapy from The Range). I am also going to add some sort of stamped sentiment on the 'post card' bit but haven't decided yet which one.

Tilda

I just love these Tilda papers.

I have four or five different sets and they all seem to mix and match with each other.

Sentiment is by Waltzingmouse

Flower was a bargain from The Range, pack of twelve for £1, it's white but I've gently inked the edges with a pale beige ink.

Happy Birthday

Beautiful You

The butterfly and sentiment strip/ tag are by K & Company.

I embossed some pink card in my Cuttlebug and then roughly swiped a Versamark pad over, sprinkled with gold embossing powder and then brushed some off in places before heating. I wanted random parts of gold not an all-over coverage.

Thinking About You

Papers were free with a recent magazine and are Webster's Pages.

I've hand-stitched, first time ever! Usually I do faux stitching but decided today to actually use needle and thread (I'm useless at sewing, can you tell?)

Happy Birthday

Stamp is SU.

Butterfly

Stamp is Waltzingmouse, paper is by Papermania.

The butterfly embellishment is actually a nail file/ emery board!
 I bought a pack of four for £1.99 in Cancer Research UK (charity shop but these are new not donated, they have cake-stands and drawer liners etc as well, all their own brand) and thought they would be nice to use on cards as a small gift.
I've attached it with foam pads so should be easy to remove and will also put a note inside the card so that the recipient knows what it is.

I think the butterflies are quite sweet for 50p each and nice that the money is going to a good cause. Looking at the photo of the card I'm wondering now whether to add a row of gems down the centre of the butterfly?

Happy Birthday
