Special Age Cards 30, 40 and 80

Hi again.  I have had loads of special birthday cards to make over the last few weeks - some were for my my friends and family and some were 'commissions' from work colleagues!

Here are a few of the ones I have made. I had fun making the rosettes which feature on most of them - these are really simple to make using the score board.

The 30th Birthday card uses some recently retired papers as well as silver glimmer paper.  The sentiment is Perfectly Penned and I heat embossed this with black embossing powder to get a raised finish.

The 40th card followed the same style but this time I used the Quatrefancy papers in the new catalogue.  the colours are so bright and cheerful!

The 80th birthday cards were for a work colleague to give to his dad - he wanted one for him and one for his son.  I used up some more retired papers for these, including Mocha Morning, and the stamps are Memorable Moments - which I embossed on black card with white embossing powder to get a chalkboard effect!

Madison Avenue birthday card

Morning - sorry it's been a little while.  Have been recovering from a virus which left me completely drained and without much energy for crafting! Or housework! Luckily my very understanding husband told me it was ok - the chores would wait until I felt better!! So I'm gearing myself up for a mammoth cleaning session, and then I can catch up with all the crafting projects I'm behind with!

For now I'll show you a card I made a few weeks ago.  The design was cased from Julie again - from one we made at our quarterly team training event.

The stamp set is Madison Avenue - and if you love it there's still time to get your hands on it for free with a £45 order by 21st March!

Patterned Occasions Note Cards

Hello again!  Another post - and so soon after the last one! Are you surprised?  Fingers crossed my good habit will last!!

Anyway - this morning I wanted to show you a set of cards I made using the new Sale-a-Bration stamp set Patterned Occasions. It's a set of 5 stamps for different occasions and they are really sweet. You can choose this set for free if you place a £45 order with me before 22 March!

I made five coordinating note cards (3" by 3") and also used the Sycamore Street designer papers - another Sale-a-Bration items.

It's a perfect stamp set for any occasion because you can stamp with or without the sentiment - either mask off the sentiment or colour the stamp with markers.

These stamps and papers are only two of the products you can choose for free during Sale-a-Bration, which include 11 brand new exclusive products, and 6 choices from the Annual Catalogue.  View all 17 choices below!

I still can't decide which one is my favourite, which is yours?
