Birthday Banner

I made this card for my brother in law a few weeks back and thought I would share it with you today.

I have seen a fair few cards recently with bunting on and wanted to have a go. I decided to do it slightly different by not making triangles. It took quite a while making those little shapes but I think it was worth it - and BIL liked the card so that's good!

The 'string' is actually Twistel from making memories which is a paper yarn. I stuck that on to the base first and then raised all the blue banner bits on dimensionals.

Thanks for looking.

Blue (for a boy!)

Here is the male card that I have made for my work colleague to go with the selection of female ones shown yesterday.

I love this cute owl and couldn't resist putting some 'googly' eyes on him!!

The papers and stamps are Stampin Up and the rest is from my stash.

Thanks for looking.

Baby Boy

This baby boy card was made using a stamp from the Baby Baby set from LCI. I have a few baby stamps now but I couldn't resist this set cos it's just so damn cute!

The base card is made from SU card and the stripey glittery card is from a gcd stack that I've had a while but the colours matched perfectly :)

I added some glitter to the blanket and a little charm and a few gems to finish off.

Thanks for looking.

Forever Friends Birthday Card

Post 2  for today.

This card is for my BIL whose birthday is next weekend. Entered into Card Patterns sketch #71. I was going to enter into FF too but forgot to put the faux stitching on doh!! I went to Manchester yesterday with my husband to fetch his company car for his new job and we also visited the Trafford Centre and then an Arts & Crafts shop which took ages to find! I bought a little easel to stand my cards on to photograph which you can just see the bottom of in this pic.

I use Promarkers in Cinnamon, Tan & Putty for FF bears and blush for the nose bit and a teeny dot of Cerise on the cheeks and ears. It's really hard to photograph cards with mirri card because I can always see a bit of myself in the picture!

A couple of buttons with some silver twine to finish.

Thanks for lookin, Donna x
