Birthday Wishes
Hello crafters! I selected six shades of cardstock for today's card offering. I cut one inch wide strips of each then glued them to another piece of card butting them up against each other. I cut a wide piece of white card and matted it with black card top and bottom then added it across the centre of the card. I cut one of the Birthday Gifts in each of the selected colours. I added mounting foam to them then attached them across the bottom of the white card in an up/down manner, slightly overlapping them. I cut the words Birthday Wishes in black from the Birthday Wishes Background and glued them to the card. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7 1/4" in size. All for now. Sue x
Hi Sue. What a wonderful sample showing your new birthday collection, I really need both the gift and birthday wishes dies, they are on my December wish lists so here I go again, wishing the days away but roll on December lol. This is a really beautiful piece of inspiration Sue, thanks for sharing xxx
Morning Sue. Thank you so much a brilliant card. Sue I copied this card yesterday with this die set I was lucky enough to win in the last prize draw. Take care and have fun Kitty.
Hello Sue This is a lovely,colourful birthday card I have to have these presents dies. I bought your poinsettias scalloped die from craftmania craft on line I couldn't resist it. Take care everyone x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, beautiful birthday card and a great way to use up those offcut scraps that we all keep, thank you for the inspiration xx
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good Morning Sue This is lovely ... what a way to brighten up a birthday. These could be batch made ready for "that one you almost forgot". And what about some done in darker colours for the men too. Ohhh you have got me going now. Cant wait to get back ✈️ to my craft room. Thank you Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds. Please stay safe and well 🙏
Hi Sue A lovely card with the birthday presents matching the striped background, I used the birthday presents die to make a card for my sister in law and she loved it
Hi Sue, I love the simplicity of this beautiful card. If I was wandering down the card aisle in the supermarket (on my way to pet food) this is the card that would jump out at me. Love the colours of the stripes and the presents with the colours reversed.
Loving this post, think I remember it or something like when you did the die launch...Very bright and cheerful and easily adaptable for the recipient....
Fabulous card Sue, love the colours used and design xx Hazel
