Hope Your Birthday Is Amazing

Hello crafters!  I selected a piece of soft salmon card and embossed it with the Twill Weave embossing folder.  I cut the Scalloped End Rectangles several times out of white card.  I made a buckle card in the centre using them going in two directions, then I added smaller ones on the ends and wove a strip of soft salmon card through them.  I cut a smaller one out of black card, stamped my sentiment then used it as a frame around it.  I added it to the centre of the card with mounting foam.  I cut the French Marigold flowers out of soft salmon card and shaped them to make three flowers.  I added a black centre from the Button Floral die set and pearls to them.  I attached the flowers below the sentiment and added green leaves as accents.  I nipped apart on more of the Scalloped End Rectangles and used them as corner accents.  The card was completed with white, soft salmon and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  8 3/4"  in size. 

The November die release blog launch starts here tomorrow morning, just to give you a heads up!  I hope you can join us then!   All for now, Sue x

  1. Hiya Sue, your stills are always so informative and pretty along with showing every fine detail but I think you'll agree that this salmon shade of cardstock is so unexplainable beautiful, those of our family here if you've not ever bought a pack now is the time, it will deffo be a stroker and one that deserves a lot of ooo's and ahhh's and one that you'll replace as soon as its all gone. This is one stunning sample that has your name and design running through it to the core.
    To anyone celebrating a birthday I'm sending lots of love xxx

    Hello there Sue and all.
    I got up late today and almost decidede to do my e-mails first.
    I'm glad I didn't because now I have todays sample in my mind and I absolutely LOVE IT.
    I thought I had every colour of card stock but I don't. I must rectify that today as it's so very beautiful.
    Everything about this card is stunning.
    Thank you Sue.

  16. Hi Sue. How lovely to see the re-appearance of the buckle card! There are so many different ways to achieve this effect and, one you have made the buckle you don't have to do too much more to create a stunning card.
