Today's card was made using a new Hunkydory kit that came free with a magazine recently that I haven't yet had the chance to play with.
Like most crafters I struggle a bit with male cards so the beer theme and funky colour scheme was very useful...
I used some of the patterned card in the kit for the background and mounted one of the die-cut toppers using foam pads. I then fussy cut a bottle image from another topper and mounted this with pads in the bottom left corner.
I do like the quality of Hunkydory products but the greetings that came with this kit were useless - far too small and hard to read fonts! So instead I used a Paper Smooches 'Cheers' die for the greeting - a gold layer mounted on a black layer to create a shadow.
I haven't exactly re-created the wheel but this will be useful to add to my very small stash of masculine cards.

Today's card is another one for the many girlie birthdays I have coming up over the next couple of months...
The image is a pre-coloured one from a Crafty Sentiments topper sheet - these are wonderful for quick cards and I wish I could find some more!
The papers, greeting and bow and banner are from the Fall In Love range from Love to Craft which I found in Poundworld. Finally I added a couple of black gems.

Today's card was made with an image and some two-tone ombre patterned paper that came with a very old edition of Making Cards magazine...
I cut out the image using a fancy braces shaped die and matted on black paper. For the background I used the ombre paper which subtly changes from green to blue, again matted on black. These were mounted onto a teal coloured base card and 3 black gems were added to decorate. The greeting is a very old LOTV stamp I believe.

I've got a few birthdays coming up over the next few weeks so I've spent the afternoon making some girly cards...
I bought these cocktail digis some time ago on an Etsy site and while sorting through some old Making Cards magazines I came across some some perfect patterned paper to go with the image. I've used Pro-markers to colour the image and a bright cerise card base.
