First up is this card I made for my Sister-in-Law. Excuse the glare on the first pic, which is why I included a second pic for it :)
And finally this card for my Aunt.
Recipes:
Card One:
- Luxury Felt 7x5 blank card from cardmakingcrafts.co.uk
- Die Cut Blue Daisies Decoupage sheet from madaboutcards.co.uk (though you can no longer buy the twin pack sheet, you can get the same flowers in a book pack with 19 other flowers and a few bits and pieces, all for £9.99 - great value!) Just click the link.
- Panel was made by me with different shades of blue chalks mixed and blended together on some white stock card with a little water. I used Faber-Castell Creative Studio Soft Pastel Set
- Happy Birthday, Best Wishes and Swirl Stickers from a pack of Anita's Outline Stickers, which were free with an Issue of DoCrafts (I will lookup the issue number shortly).
- Ribbon Trim is from a pack of Papermania's Springtime Ribbon Stickers from firststopstationers.co.uk
- Loose Ribbon threaded through the hole on the 'Happy Birthday' is Anita's Everyday Ribbon - Blue
- Peel-off Stickers Borders, Straight (Silver), from madaboutcards.co.uk
- Anita's Tacky Glue from madaboutcards.co.uk though they only seem to stock the smaller bottle these days.
- Foam pads from local craft store.
Card Two:
- Luxury Felt 7x5 blank card from cardmakingcrafts.co.uk
- Die Cut Decoupage sheet from madaboutcards.co.uk (though you can no longer buy the twin pack sheet, you can get the same flowers in a book pack with 19 other flowers and a few bits and pieces, all for £9.99 - great value!) Just click the link. (I can't remember the name of the flower, sorry).
- Panel was made from some red paper stock.
- Birthday Embellishment is a Papermania Wire Words.
- Ribbon Trim and Corner Stickers from a pack of 3D Glitter Embossed Stickers - Rose Borders & Corners from Papermania.
- Birthday Wire Word is mounted on a piece of scrap card, which in turn in mounted on a sheet of Raspberry Champagne Creative Tones Border Pack from Papermania from madaboutcards.co.uk for just £1! Then I remounted the sentiment on to a piece of card stock twice, once to get the white border effect the second to hide the brad split pin fastenings from the Wire Words. Inside I stamped a 'Happy Birthday' sentiment on to an oval shaped piece of card stock. Stamp was from madaboutcards.co.uk and it is a 4-sided Happy Birthday Stamp.
- Also used a floral stamp on the inside sentiment which I got from a local Ex-Catalog shop. I also mounted the sentiment on to a matching sheet of 8x8 Raspberry Champagne Creative Tones Border Pack from Papermania which you can get from firststopstationers.co.uk, also available in other sizes.
- Anita's Tacky Glue from madaboutcards.co.uk though they only seem to stock the smaller bottle these days.
Foam pads from local craft store.
