Late Birthday

 Hi I have another last minute birthday card for a SIL which was posted first class three days before her birthday and she finally received it three days after her birthday and she lives in the same town-funnily enough they visited us  the day after her birthday so could have hung on to it!!!

Anyways I made another diamond point card with p,paper from stash and embossed the Magnolia stamp from Chocolate Baroque onto a die-cut frame from Spellbinders-faux stitched round the edges with a silver pen and used some ancient corner peel offs I found.

Would just like to thank you all for your support,friendship and lovely comments throughout the year and wishing you all a Merry Christmas and hopefully a Happier New Year

Happy Birthday

 Morning and I needed a masculine birthday card with no ideas then remembered this stamp set from AALL&Create.First of all I cut a piece of cardstock and die-cut(from creative dies)the apertures,then on another smaller piece I drew round the apertures with a fine liner pen  and stamped the images in the circles -sounds simple but came to this idea after ripping up two goes! I stamped the music score doodled round the borders and the stamped sentiment was a craft mag freebie, the put them both together with 3D foam pads.

Pink Christmas

 Morning I have finally made two more Christmas cards using Hark the Christmas Rose coloured with promarkers and a piece of pink P.paper in scrap drawer which just covered two cards -I found the paper first hence the images coloured pink lol.I prefer the one layered on black cardstock but made the other first and already glued down!

 

I now have a confession lol-I posted cards three seperate days-then I lost my list so no idea who got cards and which were left to write so apologies to you if you don't get one ---senior moment-I had lost original list and was just adding people as I remembered-not ideal way to do it!!!

Gin and Lemon Cake

 Morning and my second post is my GDT card for the "Celebrations" challenge at River of Creativity.

I had a total blank then thought of a birthday card I had to make for a neighbour so decided to make her a lemon zesty cake.

She loves gin so used the Keep your Gin Up stamp set from Visible Image,coloured with promarkers.

I stamped the bottle and glass twice then triple embossed with ultra thick embossing powder-put onto 3-D foam pads onto a smooshed background,stamped round the edges with one of the stamps and stamped the sentiment-also stencilled on the background.

Made the lemon zesty cake and added lemon zesty icing for filling and topping.

Both went down really well thank goodness.
