Happy birthday card

Here is a birthday card I made using some lovely patterned paper from Kaisercraft. I cut two 5 by 5 cms of contrasting patterned paper and then cut each square into three pieces by cutting from the middle on an angle to the 1cm and 4cm marks. I then swapped the middle triangles to create the pattern.

I attached the patterned pieces to some red card stock and attached the whole panel to a straw coloured card with some ribbon underneath.

To finish, I fixed a yellow flower with an orange gem in the middle.

I think this card could also be used as a get well card or a thank you card as it is nice and bright and cheerful. :)

Baby boy card for my new nephew

This is a card I made for my sister on the birth of her son (and my first nephew!) I used plain white cardstock in landscape mode and attached some baby boy themed patterned paper to the right side of the card. I then covered the join with some blue ribbon.

As the focal point, I cut out two sailboats and a duck from some patterned paper, and adhered them to some navy blue card before attaching this to the card.

I continued the theme of ducks by stamping a blue duck in the bottom left corner with some blue ink, and then finished by rounding the bottom corners of the card.
