Hi Everyone,
Welcome to my Blog and as always, thank you for stopping by.
I hope you all had a great Christmas and got lots and lots of crafty goodies from Santa!! I got a few including a really cool Sizzix hot glue Gun and matching stand. Not that i need a new glue gun mind you, but i think all us crafters are the same. Never the less i will look forward to using it!!
Today i have a very elegant card that was not intended to be a Birthday card. My Boyfriend had asked me if i would make a Wedding Anniversary card for his Mam and Dad. I made it but did not put the sentiment on. Basically, he went home and i forgot to give him the card! Know doubt he would of had to resort to getting a 'shop' bought card!
Then i remembered that it is my Mams Birthday this Saturday, so it then turned into a Birthday Card. I love how it turned out, its so elegant and sparkly. I have know doubt that she will love it to. One thing that i love about this card is that its huge! I had some 8 x 8" card bases lying around from a few years ago so i thought i would use them.
The heart die that i used on the front of the card is one of my all time favourites! I purchased this from Craft Stash about 2 years ago and new that i would always find some occasion to use it. I was on there site a few weeks ago and they had the die then. However i have just been back on today and its not there. Keep checking there site as they may just get it back in.
The paper i used is from a 12 x 12" pad called Perfect Moments. It is absolutely stunning!! The design that i used is almost like wallpaper. It has a very luxurious feel to it. I bought mine online but i have seen it for sale in The Range and Hobby Craft. I have put the link below for the paper
Perfect Moments 12 x 12" Paper Pad
The gold ribbon is a retired Stampin Up ribbon. I bought lots of it from the clearance rack earlier in the year as i love it. The Heart die was cut from Gold glitter card and i popped it up using some foam tape. I stamped Happy Birthday onto a little heart die and glued that into the middle of the big Gold heart.
As you can see from the picture above i stamped a sentiment inside the card. The 2 fancy corners are from a gorgeous die that i have in my stash. It only partially cuts out the flower so that you can pop the petals up. I thought this would be a nice touch for the inside.
I hope you like my card and if you have any questions please just drop me an email or text.
I will be back very soon with a tutorial. Thank you for looking.
Love Ann xx
This is a beautiful card Ann - very elegant :-) I've got the Sizzix glue gun but not the stand and I love it. My old one was a battery operated one so you could bet the batteries would have run out when you wanted to use it! I did email you to thank you for my lovely happy mail Ann - I hope you saw it as I don't want you to think I hadn't received it xx

ReplyDeleteThis very elegant birthday card is a perfect blend of sophistication and style, making any celebration feel extra special. Its thoughtful design adds a personal touch to any occasion. For students juggling multiple tasks, seeking master thesis help can ensure they stay on top of academic work while still making time for meaningful gestures like this.
