A 13th Birthday Card


Hi Everyone,

How are you this Thursday? 

My daughter has her friend's birthday party to go to, and nothing in my stash would do.  She requested me to make her friend Jade a card especially.  She likes Butterflies and her favourite colour is Aqua, is all I was told.  After suggesting several different options, this is the card I made that she was happy with.

I've used some Sale-a-bration dsp on this card with a base of Island indigo teamed with Whisper White and a double layer Butterfly from Pool Party card cut with the Beautiful Butterflies die.  I embossed the Butterflies with the Lacy Brocade Embossing folder and I embossed the White layer of the Window Frame mat with Elegant Lines embossing folder.  The age and greeting are from the stamp set Memorable Moments. 

This style of card is one I've made previously (with Stiched Stockings for Christmas) and it was from an idea I saw on Pinterest by Bronwyn Eastley.  I dubbed it a Centre Easel card.  Here is a side view.



The funny thing is, once I had finished and photographed the card, my daughter decided she didn't like the Designer Builder brad in the middle, which has a Tangerine Tango punched circle in the centre.  I've since changed it to a Vintage Brad. 

Thanks for stopping by.  See you next time.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len
