Star wars card

Hello again, two days in a row............wow!!

We have some workmen in today as we need new fencing between us and our neighbour... the whole side needed doing, still has been there for over 20 years so not done to badly, eh??

Reg, one of our cats has just brought a mouse into the conservatory, I closed the doors to stop him going any further..........went back out there and he has devoured almost the whole poor thing!!  Ugh!!  We've always had cats since we married back in 1971, trouble is I just can't stand the dead animals and birds they bring home for me from time to time..............I have had a phobia of birds and feathers since childhood................why, do I keep getting cats, I ask myself!!!

Okay, today is a card I made for Mr's birthday this month, this one is from our Son, who asked me to make it for his Dad who loves Star Wars...........we have all the DVD's and have movie weekends, normally in the winter when we sit on the sofa and scoff lots of bad food and drink ;)

Here is the card, I found the main image on the internet recently, took it into my CraftArtist programme and added the text.  I then matted onto some black and red card...............I also used some red glitter on the lightsaber to make it stand out a bit more.

Hope you like it...........

Male 40th birthday card

Okay, I know two in one day. hey what can I say

This card is one I made for my Son in Law for his 40th Birthday in April.  He loves sport and cricket is one of his favourites.

I used kraft card for the base card and matted and layered with some black card - I then printed out the main image from a My Craft Studio CD rom but, included my own text for the Forty not out showing.  I then used the silhouette to cut out the frame and stuck this over the wording, I also stuck a few pearls on for a bit more texture - in hindsight I should have coloured them black for a more masculine look.

Hope you like this masculine card:

90th Birthday card

Hi

Late again, what can I say!!

Here's a card I made earlier in the year for an Auntie who had turned 90 - it was made on the Silhouette using a template from Monica - you can find her and lots of free cutting files at Monicas Creative Room.  Monica is a very talented lady and I have lots of her files stored on my Silhouette.

I used a purple coloured card, Docrafts I think as is textured and cuts nicely on the Silhouette Cameo.  I also cut out the numbers from Silhouette chipboard and covered them with Crafters Compansion Stick and Spray and then some silver glitter.  I also put clear gems on the points at the back of the card and the large centre circle.

I then used the back of the card as a template and cut out an inset on the Cameo, using a purple sketch pen to write out my sentiment - sorry no photo, but you may just make some out in my main photo.  I sized the card to fit a 6x6" envelope.

Hope you like it

Banner and card for Mum

Okay, now on with photos of banner and a card made for my Mum's birthday from my StepDad (can't seem to find the one I made from me, one of those photos that wanders off).  The banner was done on my Silhouette Cameo....I had a banner shape and then just put the wording in and cut it out, turned out quite well for my first attempt at something like this......the card was made from a recent Kanban kit, Lovely in Lace

I used a backing sheet from the kit with the lace design and then glitter the edge of the topper with Cosmic shimmer twinkles and raised it up with Collall 3D glue, I stamped in versamark and added white embossing powder, I also added some paper flowers that I've had for ages, ribbon bow and pearly fronds (can't remember where they came from!!), I did do an insert but, neglected to take a photo of that............I will learn, promise!!

I have more to post but, will leave now before I bore you - I hope to be back tomorrow with some more cards I have made

Byeeeeeeeeee
