Happy Birthday Paul

This is the card that I created for my husband, it was his Birthday earlier in the week.

I used some more of the images from the New World computer game that he has been playing recently. I found them on the internet along with the map from the game in the background. The frame is a Creative Expressions Die, it is the Decorative Rectangle Aperture Trio from the Slimline Collection. I cut it from pale blue card stock that matched the water on the map, unfortunately I then proceeded to cover up most of the water!

I computer generated the sentiment, I printed it on a portion of the map and also used the map to decorate the inside of the card.

Opposites Attract

This is another card that I have created with the new Gemini Elements dies from Crafter's Companion, this one is the Decorative Heart Outline Die - they are being launched on HSN next week and they will be available in the UK early next year.

I cut the heart from black and white paper and cut it in half before adhering it to a piece of paper that was printed half black and half white with the computer generated sentiment printed on it.  I then attached everything to another piece of paper printed half black and half white.

To my Husband

This is the card that I made for my husband.  He would like a Jack Russel - I've said he can't have one until he retires so that he is at home to walk it.

The image is from the Pollyanna Pickering Best of Breeds collection and the papers are from the First Edition Wild at Heart paper pad.

The sentiment is computer generated and I added a button and some twine from my stash.

Diamond Wedding Anniversary

This is another of the cards that I created for the latest edition of Simply Cards & Papercraft.

I was sent the Apple Blossom Large Numbers and Suffixes die set along with the matching stamp set to use, for this card I cut the numbers from glitter card stock.

I used some beautiful papers from the First Edition The Promise
8 x 8” Paper Pad and computer generated the sentiment.

Notes

This is another of the projects that I created for Cards & Crafts for Christmas. I used papers from the First Edition 12” X 12” Wild Flower Paper Pad and some green card stock.

The flowers are a Joy Crafts Flower Stamp, I fussy cut them and layered them up to create a little dimension.  I computer generated the 'Notes' and cut it out with my Spellbinders Labels Eighteen die.

Happy Birthday and Good Luck

It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter and the theme for the next week is Boys are back in town - A card for a Male.   I have used this fabulous collection called Businessman - as you probably know each set consists of one inked stamp, one coloured stamp, one matching paper and one composition.

I have created two cards, for the first one I have used the composition, I have flipped it so that he is facing the opposite way as I wanted to add the 'It's Your Birthday banners on the left hand side.

I printed him twice so that I could add dimension and used the matching paper to decorate the inside of my card.

For my second card I used the coloured stamp and some papers from the Trattoria Chef Paper Pack, I printed the image twice so that I could add some dimension.

I computer generated the sentiment and decorated the inside of my card to match.

Make sure you pop over to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog and check out the DT inspiration, we would love for you to join us for our Boys are back in town Challenge. If you use a Paper Shelter image you could win a $30 Gift Certificate, if you use another image you can win 3 Digis of your choice.

Thank you for calling today, your company is much appreciated.
