X~High Flyer Birthday Cards~X

The recipient enjoys flying model planes as a hobby so I made an airplane card for him.

X~Hot Air Balloon Birthday Card For Husband~X

This card was inspired by the recipient's passion for things that fly so I chose a not so obvious theme....hot air balloons! To give the card more of a 3D dimension I layered the tops of the balloons by sticking the bottom layer on the card flat and then folding the second layer in half and gluing it on top of the bottom shape. I have put the balloon shapes on my "free embellishments" page. I drew the silhouette baskets on with black marker.

 

 

X~Kitten Mother's Day Card~X

This card was made for my boyfriend's mother. One of her favorite animals are cats so I added the sweet factor and used a kitten image. I used the same frame as I did with the previous Mother's Day Card to make the picture stick out more. Again I went with a countryside feel by using gingham papers.

X~Photo Mother's Day Card With Horse~X

I made this card for my Mum and she likes horses so naturally I went for a horse theme. To make the card more personalised I added photos of my Mum and I and made frames to go round them to make it look more finished. Horses mean "countryside" to me so the backing paper added that country feel. I then finished the card off with a pretty ribbon and bow.

X~Snooker Themed Birthday Card For Grandad~X

My Grandad likes to watch the snooker so I decided to do a snooker theme for him. He is also going on holiday for it so that explains the greeting message on the front. I found this card rather difficult because there wasn't many images out there I could use so I did my best with the resources I could find.

X~Cat Mother's Day Card~X

Here's a lovely cat Mother's Day card. Isn't the picture sweet? The recipient likes cats and handbags so the backing paper has little handbags all over it. That's what's good about making your own cards for people, you can personalise it and possibly create a card which you will never find in the shop. 

 

X~Quilled Flower Birthday Card For A Nana~X

This was my first attempt at quilling. I brought a card making magazine and a quilling set came with it and I thought it would make a nice change to my card designs. I really enjoyed doing it and what is a simple design it still looks effective I think.I finished of the quilled flowers by putting pearl flat beads in the middle and adding a butterfly to fill in some space. I definitely recommend giving it a go.

~Floral Patchwork Birthday Card For A Mum~X

This is one of my favorite cards I have made to date because of the colours and style. I have a thing for patchwork cards and floral backgrounds, which gives it a country feel. The Birthday cake in the middle just gives it that Birthday feel. I then finished the card by using sequins and sparkly embellishments.
