Kraft card butterfly birthday

Hello,

I wasn't sure about Kraft card to start with but having used it a few times now I'm starting to see how good it can be.

This is a birthday card I've made for a friend. I used an 8 x 8 Kraft card blank and put a black mat onto it. I've just bought a Kraft card pad with all the papers having a black pattern printed on them, so used that for the next mat. I'd nipped into The Works to kill some time and came out with a bag full of goodies - as you do!

I then die cut 4 square black mats and white layers using my Tonic Layering dies. The butterflies were cut from red card using the Tonic Rococo Butterfly Sprig butterfly, and the red sentiment is from the Tonic Miniature Moments Sentiments dies. These panels were added using foam pads to give a bit of dimension.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you like the card, and if you've time to leave a comment I'd really appreciate it

Black and white birthday butterfly

Hello there,

I really like monochrome cards, particularly black and white, but also sometimes with a bit of red added into the mix.

For this card I used an 8 x 8 card blank and added a black mat. The large white mat and smaller panel are both made using some Kanban embossed roses card which I've had in my stash for ages. The small square panel is also layered on to a black mat, placed over some black satin ribbon which I also used for the bow. The pre die cut butterfly is also Kanban from a black, white and red kit I picked up ages ago at a show, it was going cheap as it was all in German! I added some black gems to the body of the butterfly and a swirly gem trail, a Craftwork Cards sentiment and gems to the corners.

Kitchen goddess card

Hello there,
this is a birthday card I made for a good friend who is an absolute whiz at making cakes.

It's mainly made from Hunkydory products, the backing card is Adorable Scorable card and the verse is from their Second Little Book of Poetry. The topper and sentiment are from free kits I'd got from magazines or as Club member's gifts, I can't really remember I've had them so long! I popped a piece of white card inside and covered by the verse on the front so you can write inside.

Its the first card I've made with a diagonal cut on the front, I think it's quite effective so I'm sure I'll do this again. I hope you like it too.

Thanks for stopping by, please leave a comment if you'd like to.
