Birthday Balloons

Good morning crafty friends, I hope you are having a good week. Can you believe that we are at the end of January already ??? where did that go lol.

Today's cards were an idea that popped in to my head that I decided to give a try, using the string of balloons to make the age number of the recipient.

It ended up being very fiddly, so I don't think I will rush to try it again, but I am happy with how these turned out. 

I have recently signed up to a new monthly kit, from Hobby base, and the foiled card and twine came in that kit. I used an MFT Stamps, Dienamics die to cut the balloon shape, and raised them on foam tape onto 6 x 4 card blanks.

I shaped the twine into the numbers and then covered them in PVA glue, once they were dry, they were pretty much stuck in the shape, so I could glue them to my cards and tie a knot around the balloon end.

Then I heat embossed a sentiment and added a few sequin stars to finish.

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

Nannan Frame

Good morning all, hope you had a good weekend. Today's project is one a friend asked me to make for her mum for her 50th birthday on Sunday. 

She sent me an image of something she had seen online and asked if I could make something similar. 

So I popped off down to The Range and picked up a big box frame and some wooden hearts from Hobbycraft and set to work. 

I printed the sentiment from the computer using a dark brown font on to Neenah Desert Storm Card from Crafters Companion. 

Then I wrote on the hearts with a Sakura Micron Pen in brown ink. 

A ribbon bow, some twine and a button and it was all finished.

 And I am pleased to say Zoe loved it and so did her mum. Hope you do too. 

Take care and I'll see you soon.
