Birthday Card Making

Saturday, March 27th, 2010 | Card Making, Craft | No Comments

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.

Card Making – Birthdays

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009 | Craft, Life, Money Saving | No Comments

Card making is a little hobby I have. I really enjoy it but I must admit I have good intentions but am usually far too disorganised and last minute to actually make cards in time. Resulting in a rush card purchase at the last minute!

I like to make simple cards that don’t take up too much time. Bold bright, clean designs that are not too fussy.

Today I was slightly more planned, but still a tad rushed to catch the post office before it closed, however I’m quite please with the two birthday cards I made today, both are now in transit to their recipients

The first one is a very simple design with the use of some “happy birthday” backing paper I was very kindly given.
