House Mouse Xmas Card.


Backing paper is from a House Mouse Backing Paper pack, topper is from the Christmas CD of the House Mouse Triple CD set by Joanna Sheen.  Layered onto red glitter card and finished with red ribbon and a gem.  The star is from the Christmas Ornaments section, text added using a graphics programme.
I made this card using a Rocker Card from Crafters Companion's Christmas with Barkley CD rom.
The decoupage topper is from a Mega 3D decoupage pad sold by Pinflair.

This card features a sheet of pyramage and tags etc from the mega 3D 100 decoupage pad sold by Pinflair, the backing paper is by Ideal World.

18th BIRTHDAY CARD

I was asked to make a card for an 18th Birthday, knowing that the recipient is training to be a hairdresser and has pet dogs, I thought this image was very appropriate.

I have added an array of paper flowers so this card really has dimension and is presented in a white box.

I am entering this in the following challenge: http://craftcreatoins.blogspot.co.uk/p/new-challenge-710-1910.html?spref=fb

This is the inside of the card, it has an aperture with a die cut key dangler, I added a sentiment on one panel and a verse peel-off on the other panel.  The '18' on the key has lots of gems on it.

I wanted this card to be luxurious so I made it with two pages of inserts and added a matching tag and insert with wording.

WORD BOOK (SIXTIETH BIRTHDAY CARD)

I was asked to make a card for a 60th birthday and come up with the idea of making a Word Book.
The recipient is a keen reader, loves her Kindle (reading and playing Angry Birds), she's a Chelsea fan and she loves old beer bottles.  She's also a smoker so I added a cheeky fag lol.
I finished it off with a bottle top with '60' on, a couple of fabric butterflies, ribbon bow and a butterfly charm.
