A "Sense of Time" birthday card

I have made a card for my brother-in-law's (BIL's) birthday. Now this might not sound like such a difficult task but he is my sister, Denise's husband! That means the standard of card making in that household is extremely high.

This card will be studied inside and out (and not by the BIL) so it needed to, shall we say, cut the mustard!!!



I have used the "Sense of Time" stamp set and Cajun Craze as the colour theme with some eyelets, a brad and an embossing folder (not Stampin' Up). The clock face has been heat embossed to give it added texture.

I hope he enjoys the card and that it gets the nod of approval by other discerning eyes in the household.

Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue

I have recently received some goodies that are now available in the Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue. 

Today was my first opportunity to play with one of the stamps.  It is called "Motorcycle" and I have discovered it stamps beautifully.  It comes as an individual stamp and costs $13.95.

Sometimes it is difficult to come up with ideas for more masculine cards but this works perfectly.  For these cards I have stamped and then embossed the image before using Designer Series paper as a part of the layout.

If you are interested in having a look through the Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue I have included a link on the right hand side of this blog or, if you prefer, please give me a call and I will get a copy to you

 

Stamp-A-Stack -- Children's cards

Our first Stamp-A-Stack for the year will be held on Saturday 5 March from 2.00 pm - 5.00 pm.  We will be making 8 children's birthday cards shown here, 4 boys & 4 girls. 

 

Birthday Cards

This week I needed to make 2 birthday cards, one for my brother and another for a good friend.  I made these trifold cards along similar lines to suit the purpose.

My brother is into watersports so I have used the sailing boat from the "Seaworthy" set and for the other card I used the clock from "Sense of Time".
