Butterfly Create-a-Card


This was my first try at using a Die'sire Create a Card die.  It was supposed to be just a practise run but it worked so well I was able to make it into a card!  I cut the die on to one half of an A5 piece of Centura Pearl card which, folded in half made an A6 card.  The backing paper is from the Sara Davies Butterfly Signature Collection as is the butterfly die which I cut in Centura Pearl and overlaid it with the same die cut from blue vellum.  Gems on the butterfly body added a bit of sparkle!

First Birthday Card

Very hard to believe that my great nephew Taylor is one today.  I don't like to be reminded of the fact that I'm a great-Aunt, although obviously I am a great auntie!  The card uses a Hunkydory topper and backing card set which I think was from the All the Boys kit.  I used several different fonts for the wording.  The Happy Birthday is a Die'sire only words die, the number 1 is by Stampin' Up, Today and Taylor are from some really old Cuttlebug alphabet dies.

Birthday Card


This card was made for my daughter's school friend.  It uses a topper and backing card from Hunkydory (although I can't tell you the name of the kit!).  A simple one to kick off January!
