To a Special Daughter

Good morning all, well that's the end of another week, hope it's been a good one for you. Alan and I are currently over in Runcorn, visiting family, so I have scheduled this post to go live while we are away. 

This is the birthday card I made for K that I couldn't share on her birthday. 

It's very simple but took quite some time lol. 

I had seen other patchwork cards done so decided to give one a go. I remembered the patchwork embossing folder we had so used this as the background. Then I used papers from the stash and cut them down to fit inside alternate squares. 

I held them in place with double sided tape and stitched around the edges with the little sewing machine. 

I used a shaped piece of card for the centre and then stamped and die cut different words and numbers to make the sentiment. 

I added the little heart and then a die cut butterfly, 

and then finished the card off with a few little pearls and gems.

Hope you like it, see you soon. 

Take care.

Another Barkley offering

Good morning all, hope you are having a good weekend. We have been having a bit of a move about in the living room! I won't bore you with the whole saga of the new sofa, but having new furniture meant a bit of a shuffle around so that's what we have been doing this weekend. Although we did manage a little trip to the shops yesterday to make a start on the Christmas shopping!

 

Anyway on to today's card. Here is another simple one from the Barkley collection. Same topper sheet as last time, but this time I have cut it out with the 2inch scalloped circle punch.

 

 

I used a plain pink card for the base and then matted a piece of cream coloured card that I embossed with the Christmas patchwork folder from Embossalicious.

 

 

I then cut a Snowflakes 2012 out of pink glitter paper and used this to mount my image.

 

 

I finished the card with a ready made topper. Hope you like it too.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by again.

 

Take care
