BIRTHDAY CARDS FOR SPECIAL SIS






These are two cards I've made for my sister Ann, whose birthday it is tommorow. Think I'm safe to put on blog now because she has gone out tonight. The green and black one is made with Bo Bunny Boo Crew papers, love green & black together. Also used a new Martha Stewart corner punch to make the borders, Lynne at http://www.craftden.co.uk/ is getting these new punches in, they are worth every penny. You get the corner punch, then the border punch, and use them together to punch all around the edge of your paper. I have just used the corner punch on this card though. The blue & brown card is made with Bo Bunny Flutter Butter papers. I have used another martha stewart heart border punch on this one. Getting quite a collection of Martha Stewart punches now, love them all. The photos of the cards don't show the colours very well. Going to have to practice with the camera. Had a great night at craftden last night. Ann from http://flutterbycrafter.blogspot.com/ took the class, we made a little tag book that I missed making at a class a while ago. Ann was a great teacher, and her blog is well worth a visit. Will post photos at the weekend of the finished book. Me & my sister went,and there was a mum, daughter & son doing the book with us, lovely family. But the son was such a character, he was very funny, and it was great having him there. His name was Elliott.

  2. I didn't realise that Ann was your sister, I thought you were friends coming to the class together. Your cards are lovely, the colours go well together and the charm is a fab idea I'm sure she will love her card. I couldn't get to the Craft Den tonight but will be there tomorrow afternoon for scrapbooking.
    love Pat xx
