Get Well Card

A masculine Get Well card for a friend who is in hospital.

I used a new die from the Craft Addition 'The Slatted Circle Collection' set. I cut a pale blue circle to put behind the slatted circle. The yacht is a Poppystamps 'Marine Sailboats' die cut, cut in navy blue.  The sentiment is a stamp from the Happy Little Stampers 'Doodled Flowers' set, stamped with Stampin' Up 'Night of Navy'.  Everything apart from the card blank was snippets, so I'll be sharing my card over in the Playground.  The sentiment is a stamp from the Happy Little Stampers 'Dandelion Wishes' set, stamped with Stampin' Up 'Night of Navy'.

80th Birthday

We celebrated a friend's 80th birthday yesterday and this is the card I made for him.

I used a new Craft Addiction 'Highland Cow' die with dark brown card and attached to the middle of a 7"x7" card blank. I used the die again with textured light brown card and and inlaid all the little pieces.  Using snippets of black and pink with the die, I inlaid the eye, nose and tongue.  The sentiment is a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Humming Along' set, stamped with Versafine Clair 'Acorn.  I used number dies from the Works and to balance out the card I added a few pale brown pearls.

I made a collection with a group of friends for the birthday boy and this is the money wallet I made for the notes.

I bought the Happy Birthday die from Ebay a long time ago.  The Happy Birthday die cut was layered on a stitched circle die cut and I added white peeloff numbers in the centre.

The front of the card was cut across the middle and the bottom part attached to the back of the card using strong double sided tape on the side and bottom, forming a pocket for the notes. The patterned papers are from The Range.

Allsorts Challenge ~ What Make You Happy

This is my second post today, please scroll down to see my Crafty Calendar Challenge DT card. 

A new Allsorts Challenge begins today and Gail has chosen the theme of  'What Makes You Happy'.  There are a lot of things that make me happy, but I decided on 'Sunflowers' and 'Making Fancy Fold Cards', so combined the two for my DT card.  As always, there is also the option of Anything Goes for the challenge.

I made a Spring Fold card, one of my favourite folds. It's easy to make and folds flat for posting.  The sunflower is a Cheery Lynn die cut and the snippet of patterned paper is from The Range.  I used a punch for the leaves.

There are two prizes of a Penny Black stamp and die set from Buddly Crafts to be won.
