Special Couple

Happy Friday everyone -  the new challenge over at Simply Papercraft is back after our short Summer break:

As usual the challenge is 'Anything Goes' which makes it so much easier to join in the fun! Our sponsor this week is StarStampz 

I just love StarStampz digital stamps - what a seriously cute couple! I've used pro-markers to colour the image and I've mounted it on some pale blue and white polka dot paper (to represent snow of course!).

The greeting was created in Microsoft Publisher using Mountains of Christmas font and I've added some die-cut layered Christmas trees as embellishments.

18

The Olympics have simply taken over my life - I've hardly touched the glitter and glue in the last week but I needed to make a quick 18th Birthday card that someone at work requested last minute...

I wanted a simple masculine look for this card, nothing fussy, so I used a 6x6 kraft base and kraft paper for matting. The blue patterned paper is from Dovecraft's Back To Basics Blue Shades pack (great for masculine cards) and I've die-cut the numbers and stars and the greeting was done in Word using my favourite Copperplate Gothic font.

Die Cut Baptism Card

Today's card is for a friend at work for a baptism she is going to this weekend...

 I used an ornate crucifix die I bought years ago (Marianne Designs I think), a scalloped oval die and a trellis embossing folder. The sentiment was made on the coputer and I've used the palest blue paper I have to as backing to emphasise the cross and the sentiment.

Colourful 40th Birthday

Most of the cards I make for other people are because the person wants a personalised card. Today's is for the son of a work colleague to give to his uncle. The uncle is French, hence the 'ton ton' which is an affectionate French phrase for 'uncle'.

The '40' is hand cut from some lovely glittery papers I found at The Range. I printed '40' on the reverse of the papers so I had a template to cut around. The background is faux embossing using lots of die-cut numbers to make rows of 40s.
