Swag of Birthday Cards

I find myself in need of a number of birthday cards this weekend.

First up is for my friend’s hubby’s 50th (which is tonight). I made a z-fold style card, which I think fits the challenges at The Male Room #91 and Little Red Wagon – Get (Inter) Active. #458.

I used the Stampin Up set ‘Bubble Over’ and ‘Freestyle Stripes’ by The Ton. I matched the inks to the card stock in Stampin Up Gray Granite, Blueberry Bushel and Lemon Lime Twist.

Second is a card for my mum, I got a bit snarky and want her to know that despite her cancer diagnosis with her attitude she’ll live to be an old woman! I was inspired by the current challenge over at Shopping Our Stash #366 , which was to use a silhouette on a card.SOS_logo

I used a stamp set from Unity Stamps called ‘No Regrets’ which I stamped in basic black on some white card stock, mounted on a couple of pieces of misc. DSP added the sentiment and the card was done. This lady is just as sassy as my mum.

Thirdly is a card for my longest known friend; we meet in kindergarten and are still friends some 48 years later! (does that give our age away?) I thought the challenge at AAA Cards #121 – Friendship was a pretty good one to inspire my card theme and the Global Design Project #150 sketch inspired my layout.

I used a stamp set I got with a crafting magazine by Debbi Moore Designs called ‘Hello Gorgeous’. I stamped and coloured the perfume bottles with my Stampin Blends in Mint Macaron, Poppy Parade and Smoky Slate.  I added a bit of misc. DSP for some background effect and the card was done.

Well, that’s it for today; thanks for looking and have a great day.

Hey there! I’m a card-making enthusiast with a passion for creativity that knows no bounds. Currently, I’m fortunate to be a part of four fantastic international card design teams, where I get to explore my craft and connect with fellow artists from all corners of the globe. It’s amazing how the world of card making can bring people together, and I’m constantly inspired by the diversity of styles and ideas that come my way. Beyond my card-making adventures, I lead a pretty busy life in the learning and development field, where I work full time as a Learning Lead. I thrive on helping others grow and reach their full potential, and it’s a role that keeps me on my toes and constantly learning. When I’m not immersed in the world of work or crafting, you can find me on the netball court, coaching and sharing my love for the game with a bunch of amazing individuals. So, whether I’m crafting, guiding professional development, or coaching on the court, I’m all about embracing lifes colorful and creative possibilities! Thanks for stopping by my corner of the web, and I hope you enjoy exploring my card creations and more.
