Weekend card craft part 1

Here are some of the cards I have made this weekend:

 

Lots of different ones, including some easter designs-I know it feels like it's ages away I need to think about it early. Also made some mothers day cards but pictures will follow later.

Crafters Companion 3 bird stamps

I received these stamps as a Christmas present and suddenly had a burst of inspiration earlier on what to do with them. They are only small stamps so make quite minimalist cards but I think they look stunning:

I don't think the pictures do them justice really as they look better in real life. I really love the last one as it looks so sophisticated. It's finished with glitter that doesn't show up in the photo.


Back to the drawing board for tomorrow.

Birthday Cards

Amongst the Christmas cards I have been making there were also a few birthday cards too. Here are two of my favourite ones:

This one was made for my brother. I was unsure of what to make when I came across the champagne bottle. I added the 21 to the blank label and went over the spray with glitter.

It's a shortfall card as well and the inside is covered in matching paper. I did attempt to put the individual letters to spell out 'happy birthday' on the inside but it didn't look right when I had done it

The next card is perfect for any girly birthday you may have coming up. The dress is cut out of handmade paper with glitter already on the front. I added some gems around the neckline and mounted it onto pink glitter card that had been punched with a border. The flower is made by cutting strips of ribbon and layering them together. Very sophisticated!
