Birthday Cards

Morning everyone. Thanks so much for your wishes yesterday. I had a lovely relaxing day. Chocolate cake cooked by my daughter and shared with my family. This was followed by very comical entertainment on Guitar Hero and me accompanying on drums. :-) I will stick to card making. I just wanted to share some of the cards I have received. These are the people that continually inspire me.

This is from my daughter who discovered my beautiful Heather Bailey paper. I love how she has cut the top corner off and added the triangle making look like it has been bent over. I must make a special mention here of my son who went out of his way and created a card for me on the computer.....very special. :-)

This amazing card is from my Mum. Love how the stickers follow the curves along the bottom edge of the card.

A fantastic card from my friend Rachel down in Ayr. I love how Rachel make corrugated card look so good. Love the added the beads and the different sections on the card.

My wonderful friend Fran in New Zealand has created yet another lovely card. The base card is actually a dark pink mirra type card. The heart is freehand cut and doodled on. The silver layering is from a box that Fran has recycled.

Lastly, today but by no means least this beautiful side step card from my friend Kaye (click here to see more of her beautiful work) over at Craftmad. I think this is very me with all the flowers, butterflies and gardening.

Birthday Cards - Paper Punch, Stickers, Tea Cup, Layout

This morning I thought I would share all the wonderful handmade cards I received for my birthday. I really appreciate the time and effort put into these cards. First card is from my 13yo daughter. Not too sure if I have any stickers left now but the card is very effective and I know she had a great time creating this.

This card is from a very clever friend Rachel. I love the layout of this card and the colours that have been used. So nice.

This card is from my friend Helene and I would love to own a teacup and saucer like this it is so pretty.

Lastly, but by no means least a card from my Mum. :-) She has used a trifold card and paper punched all those delicate flowers and leaves around the edge. The flower in the centre has been created using the heart shape paper punch.

This something I always love about Mum's cards is that she carries the theme through to the back and intials and dates the card. Nice finish!
