60th Birthday

I'm off to a 60th birthday party today and this is the card I've made for the birthday boy.

The products I used were:

Number templates downloaded from internet

Spellbinders Fancy Tags two.

Cuttlebug Corners.

Cheery Lynn's Fanciful flourish.

Papers from my stash and my sewing machine.

Here's a peek at the inside.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by today.

Alphabet Cards

Angie had this brilliant idea of creating cards using alphabet and number templates.

Below are a few I have made

Some stitching and handmade roses for Nora.

Hearts, swirls and flowers for Kathy.

Stitching, copic coloured  Tilda and butterflies for Donna

Paper piercing, computer graphic, classic car and mirror tiles for Greg.

Love this idea thanks Angie.

Thank YOU for taking the time to look in today.

LOVE

My card today uses the Marianne Craftable Circle die which I've used for the frames 

and the corners are Cheery Lynn Dies, it looks as though Kaaren is out of stock on both of these.

The design paper is from the Kaisercraft Vintage Timeless pad which I've distressed with antique linen.

The roses were made with the Marianne Creatable 6 petal rose die (also out of stock) and the leaves are a Martha Stewart punch.

Thank you for stopping by today.

Congrats...

Hello again everyone.

This is my latest card made with products from FatCatsCardCorner.

The gorgeous  image is from Elizabeth O. Dulemba's Colouring Page Tuesday free images and I've coloured her with copics, I then cut her out with a Craft Concepts Victorian Rectangles Die and using the same size die and drawing around it on the pink card cut it out by hand.

The flower circle is the Floral Oval Craftables Die and I've placed it over an oval cut with a Nestability and then ran it through the Swiss dots embossing folder.

The Congrats is a Marianne Creatable Die

I threaded some thin pink ribbon through the pretty white lace from my stash.

I'm afraid I don't know who the lovely background papers are by as they were a gift.

I've made the inside to match the front.

Thank you for taking the time to visit I really appreciate it.

Happy Birthday

Hello

I took some time out to do some colouring for my card today, something with which I need a lot more practice.

I coloured Tilda with Big Ribbon with copics and cut her out using the out of the box technique.

There are loads of tutorials out there for this.

The border is Anja's Rose Border Creatable Die

The Happy Birthday is also a Creatable Die.

The butterflies are Cheery Lynns Exotic Butterflies .

Leaves are Cheery Lynn's Pair of Ferns.

The corner is Memory Box's Madera Corner (part of mine snapped off while using it in the Cuttlebug, very unhappy).

The paper used are from My minds Eye Ohh La La Paper pad.

Inking was done with the Antique Linen Distress Ink Pad.

The flowers I made with the medium Retro flower punch.

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit and leaving a comment,

I do so love hearing from you.

Cards For Men

Hello Everyone

I hope you all had a very enjoyable Easter and were able to spend it with family and friends.

Ours was quiet but did get to spend some quality time with daughter Kathy and granddaughters Chloe and Aimee.

Onto my cards...............

I was asked to make twenty cards as a prize for a raffle and to please include some cards for men.

Below are two that I have come up with.

I have used pre-coloured digital images from FredSheSaid and added dimensional magic to them (which unfortunately doesn't show up in the photo's) but it does make the images pop.

The plaid backgrounds where from a Paper Pizazz Jewel Plaids Booklet given to me by my friend Angie which are perfect for those cards for men, thank you Angie.

The striped background is a digital paper from SheryK Designs.

I'm afraid I don't know which die the branches are they were another gift from Angie.

The background on the card below is the Mesh Cuttlebug embossing folder.

Many thanks for stopping by today.
