One of my brother-in-laws loves VW cars and has his own VW Beetle which is his pride and joy, so I always try to make a birthday card featuring a VW car. I had an old Crafter’s Companion Die-sire ‘Circle Swing’ die set and this became a fun interactive base for the car. He also loves gardening and I have used Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Spring Greenery Honey Cuts and Lovely Layers – Dianthus Honey Cuts to decorate the card. The stamp is from Montarga Rubber Stamps shop and it fitted perfectly on the card framed with all the flowers and foliage.

My Project

For my project I die cut and assembled the base card following the instructions from the ‘Circle Swing’ die set. I used the Heartfelt Creations Snowy Pines pale green paper as a background for the decorative dies.

I stamped the VW car image using Memento ink on copic friendly cardstock. I coloured the image with Copic markers and then fussy cut the image. I placed this image on the inner circle that is facing the front when the card is folded up.

I die cut three ‘happy birthday’ dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Happy Occasions Words Dies, stacked them together and then added them to the back side of the inner circle.

I die cut the foliage and flowers from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Spring Greenery Honey Cuts dies in different colours and assembled them before adding them to the sides of the card and both front and back of the inner circle. I coloured the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Dianthus with purple and green inks before assembling them and adding them around the foliage as shown.

Have a Wonderful Day with Roses

I love love love roses and when I saw the new Crafters Companion Vintage Rose 3D Embossing Folder – Timeless Rose I had to get it and it is just gorgeous. I have coloured the image with Copic Markers and then added a stunning frame to showcase the beautiful roses. Of course I had to add some cute butterflies made from Memory Box dies that I have had for many years. I really love this sentiment as it is so versatile and can be used for so many different occasions.

My Project

I have created a side folding 5″ x 7″ card base out of white cardstock. I then cut a piece of X-Press It paper 4 3/4″ x 6 3/4″ and embossed it using the Timeless Rose embossing folder. I coloured the roses and background with Copic markers and adhered it to the card front.

I cut a piece of white cardstock 5″ x 7″ and die cut the frame using the Nos. 3 and 4 dies from the Heartfelt Creations Fancy Classic Oval Dies. I wanted to keep the decorative frame see through so I cut a piece of acetate 4 3/4″ x 6 3/4″ and adhered it behind the whole frame. I then added the decorative frame to the acetate inside the outer frame and cut the inner oval out using scissors (I found it much easier doing it that way). To complete the decorative frame I have die cut the outer decorative frame from gold cardstock and added it to the frame as shown. The frame was then added to the front of the card with foam strips.

I heat embossed the sentiment from the Heartfelt Creations Heartfelt Sentiments on black cardstock using gold embossing powder. I then die cut the sentiment out using a die from the Altenew Featured Sentiments Die Set and added it to the front of the roses with foam strips.

I die cut the butterflies out using Lawn Fawn Pearlescent Paper and Heartfelt Creations Luxe Gold Cardstock. These were assembled and added to the card front.

To finish I have added gold pearls around the frame.
