Happy Birthday Hedgehogs with Balloon

This card is for my Grandad's 85th birthday next week. I stuck a Penny Black Stickeroo to white card and mounted it onto Bazzill Basics blue cardstock. I stuck a strip of patterned paper to the card blank and then stuck the mounted image over the top. I added a 'happy birthday' greeting to the top of the card, after having mounted it onto white and blue circles. Finally I added three blue eyelets to the bottom right of the card.

Hedgehog Present

Another card for my 'birthday card stash', since I don't seem to get time while I'm at work to make cards. I mounted a Stickeroo to white and then purple Bazzill Basics cardstock and added glitter to the Stickeroo using a Sakura glue pen and ultra fine glitter. I stuck this to the card over some lilac patterned paper using 3D foam pads. I attached the greeting using purple eyelets and used a lilac flower brad to attach a flower embellishment.

Party On

I made this card for my 'emergency birthday stash'. I mounted a Penny Black Stickeroo onto white card and then onto red Bazzill Basics cardstock. I used the same red cardstock to make a rectangle with rounded corners and attached this to a card blank using orange eyelets. I embossed an orange piece of Bazzill Basics cardstock with the Cuttlebug 'Spots and Dots' embossing folder and stuck this to the card blank, with the mounted image on top.

Sparkly Flowers



I always like to have a few spare cards for 'emergencies', so I've made these for any occasion. I stuck a Sentimental Plus flower (from Handy Hippo) to card and mounted that to a contrasting colour. I then used a Sakura glue pen to add glitter and mounted the whole thing onto a card blank. There is still enough room to add a greeting to each card.

Birthday Wishes

I have made this card for a friend's birthday. I mounted a Papermania Metal Accessories Pink Heart onto silver card and stuck it to a card blank with pink chiffon ribbon behind it. I embossed some pink vellum with Cuttlebug 'Happy Birthday' folder and attached this to the card blank using small brads. I tied chiffon ribbon around the card and added the 'Birthday Wishes' greeting with a Sakura glue pen and ultra fine glitter.

A Little More Time

It's been incredibly busy at work and the little time I have left has been spent planning our wedding. It's all coming together really well, and we still have nine months to go! I've ordered all the bits for making our stationary, so I'm looking forward to getting it and having a play!!! I'm on my Easter holidays now, so I have got a little bit more time for doing the things that I like to do.....
