Birthday Card Making

March is a very busy Birthday month, well more specifically the 28th of March.. As it is my Dad and my Nan’s Birthday.  This year was a special one for my Nan as she turned 80.

I like to make a little effort and do home made cards for that personal touch. I like simplistic designs and thought I’d share my latest creations with you.

Dad’s Birthday card.. very simple, red base card. Nice and easy to make but very effective. I used a smaller piece of black card and stuck to it a section of black brightly coloured birthday paper. I used a rub on transfer for the word “Dad”

Nan’s 80th Birthday card.. I thought quite a lot about this one, as I wanted something simple yet special. I chose a light green paper to go on a white base card. I matched the green paper with the printer and designed and printed the centre. I also used a brass stencil to subtly embellish the top of the card.
