50th Birthday Wreath

Good morning folks and welcome to Friday, hope you are looking forward to the weekend and manage to sneak in some craft time.

Today's card was one I made for mum to send to Jude on her birthday earlier this month.

I actually really enjoyed making this card. I started by cutting a circle frame using a couple of different sizes of stitched circle dies. Then I went through all of the flower stash until I came up with a colour scheme, and then dug out all of the flowers and leaves that were either red, Kraft , green or white.

The numbers are from a Fancy Pants Ephemera set and matched lovely with the colours I had chosen.

Then I sat and had a lovely hour making flowers up and sticking them around the circle frame. I added in some stamped leaves, the odd fabric leaf, and a punched butterfly, until I was happy with the look.

I added it all to a piece of white card, matted it with red and then added it to a 6 x 6 Kraft card blank. Then I added a couple of heat embossed sentiments on little tags and a few gems to finish it off.

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

You're 2 Cute

Good morning everyone, I hope you are having a good week.

Today's card is one I made for Jude's granddaughters 2nd birthday yesterday. I used a background paper for a change, this one was a magazine freebie a couple of years ago, but I love the colours and thought the bunting design was cute for a little girl.

For the main image, I cut a scalloped rectangle die from Tonic Studios, and then used a number from a Fancy Pants die cut set, and some cardboard adhesive letters for the sentiment. 

I coloured the letters with Copic Markers to match the background paper and then cut a couple of WPlus9 Balloons from the Whole Lotta Happy set. I did one in a spotty card and the other in plain white card, which I then coloured yellow.

The little pink spotty star balloon is from the Clearly Besotted Laugh Out Loud set, and I gave them all a red twine string for a pop of colour.

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