Owl Birthday card

Today my baby is THREE! I had to make her a special card to celebrate and as we're having an owl theme I thought this would fit the bill. It's a tri-fold shutter card, I believe. I googled the name and there are loads of different tutorials out there on how to make the base card. It was surprisingly quick and easy made using my Scor-pal and out of Pirouette Pink.

Here's a close-up of the "front". Although there isn't really a particular front once the card is out of the envelope. The colours used are Rich Razzleberry, Primrose Petals, Baja Breeze, Tangerine Tango and Daffodil Delight.

The birthday greeting is from Perfect Punches and is mounted on a stamped section from Everything Eleanor. The owl punch made decorating the card really easy and the googlie eyes I had left from a Halloween kit were ideal to make the owls look a bit funky.

Happy birthday to my little munchkin! Can't believe you're 3 already!!!!

Check back soon to see the party favours, cake and star birthday presents.

Time ticks by

Hello and happy Sunday! Can you believe it's the end of another week?! Well here is a card representing how fast time has been ticking by...

It features Clockworks and some yummy In Colors: Gumball Green and Midnight Muse. This was the same collage technique I used before but in a different colour combination than the note cards.

First Edition speciality DSP made it into the new catalogue (pg162) and this is great news as this paper set is super useful.

Hope you like the card. Are you doing anything nice today? I'm working in the morning and hope to do something with my lovely family in the afternoon if I'm not too pooped!

Scrapbook scraps

Having made a scrapbook page with Betsy's Blooms and the co-ordinating paper, Floral District, I had a small pile of scraps on my table, which is how this card came about.

Gumball Green is the base colour. On the white section I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from Perfect Punches (pg120) in Rich Razzleberry. By using a marker the outline oval was masked. A few Daffodil Delight blooms and jewels later plus some scraps of stitched Daffodil Delight ribbon and voila!

A sweet little card that was made using scraps!
