More birthday cards

Aimee was invited to 2 parties over the holidays, here are the cards that I made for her friends.



Both are from Disney Fairies 3D decoupage. I bought the book at Paper Paradise awhile ago, as I thought between Chloe and Aimee that it would be good value for making cards...... Okay, okay, I have to be honest, I love fairies and I have to have some good reason for buying the book.

For these 2 I just followed the instructions in the book. You are provided with all images, card, tags, vellum, etc. every thing you need except glue and the tools. I like doing this kind of craft as I find cutting out all the little pieces calming.

When I make the next card I will take more pics to show you, again these were done in a rush. MUST PLAN MY TIME BETTER!!!!! Must not leave everything to the last minute!!! Yeah right!!! when that happens pigs will fly. LOL

Here is the book that the cards are made from. Sue and Paul have other themes as well, but as I said I like fairies so I got this one.

Birthday Cards

It's Steve's Mum's birthday on Sunday. And since I have begun crafting I hate buying pre-made cards now, so all cards sent by us is usually made by me.

I try to get the girls involved as much as I can, they do like to make their own cards, it is easier now because they are on holidays, hopefully the weather won't change, but if it does I might get them to start making their Christmas cards, that might keep them quite for a few days........or maybe not???

This is my card

I have used an Anna Griffin pack, that Steve's mum sent me. It is such a lovely pack, I use it only for special occasions.


I tried to scan in the paper and toppers before I cut them and used them, unfortunately the pink stripy paper didn't scan and I didn't notice until I went to do this post. I cut strips of the pink paper to make the criss-cross design. I then traced around a 2p to get the circles and punched little hearts all from the pink paper.

I then cut out the roses and the greeting, inked the edges with colorbox Old Rose cat's eye.
I punched the a hole in the greeting, and added a ribbon.

I stuck everything down unto the red design card, I used foam pads under the roses to give the card some definition.

This is Chloe's card

The girls have a shoebox that I fill up for them, they can take what they want from the box and I won't start freaking out that they are near MY PRECIOUS STASH. If I see something that they might use I will get and put it into the box for them. I also put a lot freebies from the many magazines that I get into the box too!!
