Birthday card for daughter's boyfriend

Hi this is a card i made for my daughter's boyfriend ,he likes to play the guitar & the image pretty much looks like him.

I started off with a square card blank ,i used open office took the boy frame that i bought from the clipart fairy store it comes with the happy birthday greeting ,i then added this image mikey that i bought from charmed cards & crafts ,i just printed this out ,
I cut  it, coloured the image with promarkers & coloured pencils ,i have got to say i am no expert in colouring but i wish i was as some fellow crafters cards are just amazing due to their colouring skills .
Anyway all i did then was stick this onto my card blank and i added some green gems ,i also added a insert which i forgot to take a picture of. It didnt take long to make this card but i like it as i sometimes get stuck when it comes to male cards.

Birthday card for daughters to give to their gran


Hi
This is a card i made which you can get from the printable store at clipart fairy .
I printed it out followed the tutorial that is on the site on how to put it all together ,then i just added stickles around the frame which i think i spoiled a bit then i added ribbon with the gems on it  that i got from lidl  for  £ 1.99 ,they have several different kinds  to choose from . ,i stuck that to the inside so it would show through to the front of the card  and also used the same ribbon to the bottom of the card & made a bow to add to it but i missed out adding the part with the gems on it,i also added my own insert to it .

Hi Everyone Sorry i have not had any new makes on my blog lately ,have not been able to get rid of this viral infection i have had for several weeks ,but i managed to force myself to make this piece of gorgeousness for my mum's birthday.

I started off with a piece of cardboard ,made a box shape ,added these gorgeous papers from Pink Petticoats,I dont have any cutting machine so for the scallop edge i used one of the keepsake boards and there was a scallop area on it and went over that cut it out and added that to the box,same with the scallop circle i bought the template from the cutting cafe, added the sentiment that i got from the clipart fairy store ,cut it out added it to the card,i added the flower digi from embellishments on the me to you cd rom & added stickles and pearls.
I put gold peel offs around the papers as a frame  ,added all flowers etc.. from dunelm mill,rejects & used a flower punch for the flowers on the corners and added pearls to them,the enjoy your special day was a sentiment also from the me to you cd rom ,i cut out a scallop shape using the same board previously  and added stickles around the edge of that.
As you can see i added my mums favourite choccies in the drawer,the embellishment on the drawer is also from dunelm mill.





The money wallet i bought the template from the cutting cafe ,printed it onto the fabulous papers from pink petticoats ,added the gold scallop card using the same process as before ,i then added a gold paper fastener and added a pearl to it .Below is a close up of the flowers,pearls etc.. and i wrapped it all in gold swirl cellophane with a gold ribbon i had in my stash ,i hope you like it !
