A Few Birthday Cards...

Hi all,

Hope you're all well. Been busy this end doing a little crafting as I never have a supply of cards handy for people's birthdays. Have made a fair few, but they take forever to photo them and upload, so over the next few days I'll post more, but for now here are two I've recently made, one for my Aunty who's the big 5-0 tomorrow, and one spare for the cupboard :)

Hope you like, please feel free to comment as I'd love to hear feedback from you all.

Penny Black Birthday Card


Big Bold Birthday - I love chocolate and blue, if you hadn't guessed already!

Recipes to follow at a later time.

Bye for now,

Big Hello Kitty Fan :)

Hi all,

WOW: Been a busy week here. What with news from Stampin' Up! about a Chipboard Offer and a Mini on the way in April :)

Anyway, I've had a little time to make a birthday card for someone special and thought I'd upload it here for you all to see. You might not know, but I'm a huge Hello Kitty fan. Have been since I could talk lol. Well luckily for me, the birthday girl is a Hello Kitty fan too, so I made this card especially for her.

Thank you Steph for sending me the Hello Kitty die cuts :) Below is a card and pillow pouch box using all Stampin' Up! cardstock, ink pads, stamps and ribbon.


Hope you're all well. I'll post back another time with the recipe.

Bye for now,

Alex

Who's 13 Today...

Hello blog,

Well what a day, just didn't stop raining did it? Okay, so it's my friend's daughter's 13th birthday today - Happy Birthday Irina :) I've heard today that she loved the card, so it's safe to say that I can now post it here...

Recipe
I used numbers 1 and 3 die cuts out of chipboard for the base of the card, then covered with SU and Bazzill papers - Ballet Blue and Red (Would have used SU Real Red, but I've run out since making the Chinese New Year cards).
Used Versamark Stamp Pad with a variety of football stamps (football, football boot and trophy) all over - Woodware Stamps.
Cut out and spelt the name "Irina" using my Silhouette Digital Craft Cutter Machine (this is about the fourth time I've used it now! lol) and placed letters onto front with Zig Zag Glue.
Stamped another football onto the SU Ballet Blue cardstock, cut out and attached with 3D foam pad to raise it off the base of the card.
Finished the two chipboards with my Big Bite and added SU Pewter Jumbo Eyelets (P.82).
Then finally attached with ribbon from my stash :)

Hope you like, please feel free to leave me a message.

Bye for now,

Alex
