Mans Birthday card.

I was asked to make a birthday card for a man but the customer wanted the date of birth & the date of the birthday on it but I didn't really like the idea as it reminded me of a tombstone!!

So I looked up news paper archives & was lucky enough to find a news paper for the date of the birthday!

I cut the 50 using my eCraft.

Going away card & a Thank you card!

The girl who asked me to make this card was so happy with it that she asked me to make another A4 card for a friend of hers who was going to Australia to go travelling for a year!

The girl was starting in Cairns & making her way down to Sydney.

This is what I came up with.

I printed the map off & distressed it.

I sent the card off to the customer & then a few days after I got the cheque in the post but there was something else in the envelope!!

& on the inside

I was so thrilled with this little card telling me how happy she was with my work & it is fantastic to have the little card to keep!!

Button Cards

So my crafty friend Ang who is part of the facebook group that I'm in set a challenge for a card swap this month & it was a brilliant challenge!

We had to use buttons as the main focus of the card so no using as embellishments.

Ang posted this link to give us some inspiration & I love the technique.

This is what I came up with.

I used my eCraft & MTC to cut out the circles & rings to make the giant button.

I tore paper to make the "hills" & used ProMarkers to colour the sky & add some birds. I stamped the sentiment which is a from a Hero Arts set in Distress ink & added some Glamour Dust to the tops of the hills!!

I made a second card for the challenge because I was out in my craft room making a card for an order & had a brain wave!

this is what I came up with

The buttons are handmade again!

I used my heat tool to melt the organza ribbon, it looks fantastic. I got the idea from here. This lady will be teaching at the GBCE which I will be going to on the 30th of September & I CAN'T WAIT!!!
