Tool ‘Blocks’ Birthday Card

by // // No Comments

I made this for my Son-in-law for his birthday. Making cards for family always poses a challenge, in that I try to come up with something different each time. I loved making this Mens pop-up / kinetic card, the card base was inspired by an idea I originally saw on Pinterest, I’ve made one previously for my Brother-in-law and liked how it turned out. They are very effective and fold flat easily for posting. See below images for dies used.

Another Flippin Masculine Birthday

I was kind of caught on the hop and needed to make a birthday card (Men’s General) for my daughter’s boyfriend in a hurry. I copied one I’d made previously for my nephew’s 30th birthday. I’ve done plenty of golf themed ones in the past for him so this ‘Cheers’ one made a nice change and had the added surprise of the kinetic flip mechanism. I used the Made using Made To Surprise 5″x7″ Flip Mechanism Die Set to make this along with various Sentiment dies, Sizzix Thinlits Elle Upper and Lower case Alphabet dies, Sizzix Tim Holtz thinlits ‘Happy Hour’ die set Alinacutle ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment dies.

Dies used to create this included :- Spellbinders nesting plain and scalloped hearts dies, Cheery lynn flowers dies, Anna griffin flourish scroll die, spellbinders lacey circles dies, Crea Nestlies no 33 dies, leabilities frame square curve die set (for small flourishes).

What better way to send wedding day wishes to a special daughter than in the form of a 3 tier Wedding cake (Wedding Extra Special). I made this for a friend to send to her daughter and new son in law. This is the Third of this type of card I’ve made following the wonderful instructions from Srushti Patil on her fabulous youtube channel. Srushti patil youtube For this extra special version I used white double sided pearlescent card stock for the base cake and also for the embellishments but coloured to match the wedding theme with blue distress inks, I also used silver mirror card stock for the flower stems and sentiments. Though no dies were used in the actual Cake construction, I did use a set of hexagon dies to cut the lid mat, the top of the top tier of the cake and the base of the cake. I also used the following dies to decorate the cake, lid and bellyband:- Spellbinders Shapeabilities Dies, Etched Alphabet, Spellbinders Sentimental Ampersand small dies of the month January 2023, Spellbinders Be Bold Blooms Dies, Kit n Kaboodle scalloped hearts dies, , Creative Craft Products Die & Stamp Sets various sentiment snipped, Card Making Magic Alphabet and overlay dies and small stand die from the Tonic shadow Box Creations Die set 1635E.

Cheers To The Happy Couple

by // // No Comments

A fun take on a personalised wedding card (Wedding General) using the couple’s favourite tipples to celebrate them tying the knot. I used Craft Artist Pro2 software to create the personalised bottles which I then fussy cut and applied glossy accents and layered up bottle tops and labels for a touch of realism. I used Sizzix Framelit nesting plain and scalloped heart dies. I die cut the sentiments using Britannia Dies Wedding words dies. The wedding veil and dress top on the prosecco bottle were cut with Go Kreate Boo bear wedding outfit die and the Tiara was cut using Cuddly Buddly hats and accessories die. The tuxedo, shirt and tie on the groom’s bottle was cut using Go Kreate Boo bear groom outfit die. The background for the card front was embossed with couture creations intrinsic embossing folder and the edge of the insert was punched with the woodware crafty edger punch.

Our Local Landlady was celebrating 3 years of being at the pub so I made this extra large 8″ x 8″ framed box easel card.
