Birthday Card for my Great Niece Chloe

Well I did get a card made and in the post to my Great Niece in Telford for her Birthday - which is the day before mine.  Here is a picture:

The Butterfly card was one from a pack that was a Gift with one of my recent Magazine Subscriptions, only the front is shaped.  I covered the card with a Backing Paper from yet another Free Gift with a magazine - My Minds Eye Summer is the papers used.  I then cut the green flower shapes from another sheet of the same papers, and found some tiny butterflies to go on top.  I trimmed round the edge with Peel Off stickers, however I don't feel that these glitter type one's are right for it, it needs something a tad more bendable for the shapes it has to conform to, but hope to solve that problem with my Cricut machine in the next few weeks, and of course save those vital pennies.

Card for Scarlett - Great Niece :)

My Great Niece - Scarlett is 1 year old tomorrow and I worked till 1am to get this card made so it could go in the post first thing this morning.  Craft room has bits of paper all over the place - but who cares - I don't - I had fun making the lovely Beatrix Potter card.

I didn't make the card as instructed - no fun if you can't break the rules - I just used sticky pads as opposed to the card cubes, but it still makes an effective and different Birthday card.  I was also lucky enough to have some Beatrix Potter Toppers that came with one of my magazines, so Jemmima Puddleduck is inside, whilst a rear view of Peter Rabbit is on the back of the card.  Now I just hope the postal Service gets their finger out, and don't damage it in the delivery process.

Catch you all soon - more cards on their way!

Card for Mother-in-Law

I finally got the card made for Mother's Birthday for 1 June, made from work by Barbara Clooney. Whilst putting the card together I realised that in my stash of peel-offs I had some that would compliment the shape of the Tea Pot image, none left now so will have to either try and get more or create my own design and make them with my Cricut machine.

 More to come soon, as I have more cards to make for later on this month.

April Birthday Cards

Hi Folks,

I'm all behind like a donkey's tail at present, personal illness and having brand new windows put in being the cause.  I just wanted to upload my 2 latest cards, so that you can see I really do craft in the Craft Shed.

This is the card I made for my good friend Sue's birthday for 28th April and comes from a Debbi Moore CD Glitter & Glitz Magic Moments.

This card I made for my Sister - also for 28th April and is a Kizzy Dizzy Design - I really do love their products.

Off to the Craft Shed again now, as I have to make a card for Mother-in-Laws Birthday which is on Tuesday.
