Copper card

Hello again.
A while ago I made quite a few different backgrounds with the intention of turning them into cards. Well today I finally have one finished that I can share with you.

This background was heat embossed in copper on white card.  The stamp is Triangle background by Hero Arts.

The sentiment is from Crafti Potential. I die cut two of the word backgrounds and cut them so that I could separate the birth from day.  The sentiment was just a little too long for the card base!

I then cut the word from some X-cut Adhesive Metal Effect Sheets.  I cut this in half and added the pieces to the white layers.

I also white embossed the happy on to a piece of card that matches my card base.

For the final touch I cut the panel on an angle before I added it to the base.  I then used a strip of the adhesive metal card to add a border under the panel.

Hope you like it.

30th Birthday Roses

Good morning all, as Jude said yesterday it was my daughter's 30th birthday. I really cannot believe that 30 years have flown by already. Goodness it makes me feel old, but then again, at least I'm not as old as Jude 🤣🤣🤣 lol.

So today's card is the one I make for K from Alan and I. I used the Altenew Build a Rose die, and cut it a couple of times in grey sparkle, plain and patterned card.

I put the roses together with wet glue, and left them to dry. Then I cut a few of the matching leaves, and a few other plain leaves using Sue Wilson dies.

For the background I used a large background stamp from Stampers Anonymous, and heat embossed it on white card using white embossing powder.

Then I used Iced Spruce and Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Inks, to blend a soft grey background over the white embossing.

I cut the panel out with an Avery Elle Wonky Stitched Ellement die, and then added it to a white note card. I added the flowers and leaves using foam pads, and wet glue, and then added more sparkle using Nuvo Drops in White Blizzard.

I wrote up the sentiment on the PC and printed it on my Laser Printer, then I ran it through the Minc Machine using Pewter Foil.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

Butterfly wishes

Good morning folks, I hope you have had a lovely weekend. If like us you have had very warm and dry weather, then you will either have loved it or hated it like me lol.  No I don't really hate it, but I do spend my life in a constant sweat, I even use the air-con in winter 😲💦😓 lol.

Anyway, today's card is one I made for mum's birthday last week, but we didn't use in the end. I used the Winnie and Walter Pallet background stamp, using Rocky Shore Crisp Dye Ink from Altenew, on to Dessert Sand card from Crafters Companion.

I stamped the background a couple of times, lining them up with the MISTI, then trimmed the panel to fit an A2 card blank.

I used a cream card blank so chose a pretty cream linen card to cut the diecuts from. I used the Noor Butterfly Edge for the bottom, and a Spellbinders Butterfly for the top. 

I put the butterfly border on the bottom of the card and then cut a strip of cream card to go across the top for my butterfly and sentiment.

I stamped a simple Happy Birthday sentiment and then added Mum on the bottom strip.

Then I decorated the butterflies with pearls and Nuvo Glitter Drops.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

Heat embossed background stamp

Good morning all, I hope you are having a good start to the week. Can you believe I still haven't made any new cards 😲 It's been almost 3 weeks now. It's a good job I had a backlog of ones to share lol.

I am really hoping that things calm down in the next couple of weeks, that I get a bit more used to my new job and start to feel a bit better. Then hopefully I may be able to accomplish something lol.

Anyway, this card is another that I made for my grandson, when he turned 11, a couple of weeks ago. I used a Hero Arts Triangle background stamp and heat embossed it with black embossing powder.

Then I used the giant Marianne Designs, Birthday die, and cut it in a satin red card. I wanted a background for the die cut, so I drew around the outside of the die, on black card and cut it out by hand.

Then I added a small tag at the top with Happy, heat embossed in white embossing powder.

I matted the panel with red and black card, then put it all on an A2 card blank. Before I gave him the card, I added Grandson on another small tag at the bottom.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

Happy happy birthday

Good morning all, happy Friday, are you ready for the weekend? I know we are lol. I am really hoping that we can get cracking in the garden and try and make it look a bit more respectable for the summer months. That is if the great British weather decides to cooperate lol.

Anyway, today's card was made using one of our Hero Arts background stamps called Triangles, and the Avery Elle, Ellie stamp and die set.

I stamped the background die twice on to plain white card, using my MISTI stamp positioner tool and London Fog Memento Ink. 

Then I coloured some of the shapes with Copic markers in a random pattern. I used a simple colour palette as I wanted it to be a definite male card. Then I stamped and coloured Ellie with Copics and cut her out with the matching die.

I used a Clearly Besotted stamp and die set for the sentiment and stamped the Birthday with Paris Dusk Memento Ink. Then I matted and layered the front with grey shimmer card and popped it all on to a 7 x 5 card blank.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you next week.
