Aged Perfectly

It is my husband's Birthday today, I am not going to say how old he is but he was born in the sixties - I found this image on the internet and thought it would be perfect.

It was very white when I printed it out so I aged it with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink so that it would match the Graphic 45 A Proper Gentleman papers that I used.  I computer generated the sentiment and also aged it with the Distress Ink.  I always find it so difficult to create cards for my family, do you find it difficult or is it just me?

Everlasting Memories

This is the card that I created for my Niece, it is her birthday on the 11th so I will have to pop to the post office later.

I used the Hunkydory Everlasting Memories collection - the papers are from the Inserts and Paper collection and the topper is from the Tag Pad. I added a stamped and die cut sentiment, I'm not sure where either of them came from!

Make A Wish

November is a busy month for Birthdays in our house, I have created this card for my Great Niece, she is the first.

I used papers and elements from the Echo Park Birthday Girl Collection, I have the digital version.  There are lots of layers and dimension on this card, lots of my favourite fussy cutting - it is going to cost me to post it, I will put it in with the one I have created for my Niece, her mother, so that will make it a bit more cost effective.

Autumn paints ...

I was having a browse on Pinterest and I came across a tutorial to create a square diagonal double pocket card, you can find it HERE, so I thought I would have a go.

I made mine from Kraft card stock and used papers and elements from the Authentique Splendor collection to decorate it.  Instead of adding tags I have added three Ephemera Cards, you could write a greeting on the back of them or add a gift card.

Blessings

This is another card created with the Authentique Splendor collection.

This is a very similar design to the card that I blogged yesterday but I think it looks completely different. Everything is from the collection, all I have added is some brown card stock and buttons.

Merry & Bright

This is the third Christmas card that I have created with my Graphic 45 Christmas Time collection, there are some gorgeous papers and vintage toppers in this collection.

I have used papers from the 8 x 8" paper pad again along with elements from the 12 x 12" paper pad.  I used an old Spellbinders die to cut the Poinsettia and leaf from one of the papers from the patterns and solids paper pad.

Thank you for popping in today and thank you for all of the lovely comments that you leave, they are all read and much appreciated.

Fall Colours

Autumn is really here in my neck of the woods now, the trees are quite beautiful at the moment and this inspired me to get my Authentique Splendor collection out.

Two of the papers are from the Splendor collection and one is from the Pleasant collecion, all of the elements are from Splendor.  I used my new flower dies, Spellbinders Autumn Flora by Susan Tierney-Cockburn, to cut the flowers and leaves.
