Hi...
Last night I had
a message from our new neighbour who came to me to learn how to craft, she said
it was her sons birthday and she had been out and bought some embossing powder
and an ink pad but wasn’t having any luck as the embossing powder was blowing
off the design so I offered to loan her my heat gun but she said it was a
little late to keep trying as she needed to have a card finished last night
So I had to make
Harry a card- I looked at all the lovely files for boys things on my Cameo but
they all needed endless cutting out and as it was already near 10pm I changed
my mind.
This morning I
went into a fab new cd I got called Harriet & More, the cd has digi images
and coloured images as well as toppers and loads of other things, and the
backing papers are fantastic. I selected a coloured digi image of a lovely
little boy, print 2 backing papers and from another great cd gorgeous gifts for
all occasions I printed out a sheet of hessian paper – this is the 3rd
time I have used this paper.
I cut out the
image and matted it onto a blue patterned paper, then silver mirri card, tan
coloured spotty paper then gold card.
The hessian paper
was cut down to fit the front of the card and about
2 cm round the back;
this was secured using double sided tape.
Left over from
the gold mat was a length that I measured and secured to the front of the card
along the spine, then using a piece of green card I used a Martha Stewart
border punch along both sides then used cosmic shimmer pva glue to stick this
to the gold card.
The matted image
was then stuck to the card front and a Happy Birthday sentiment had the edges
coloured in green with a promarker before it was stuck to the card front.
Then to finish I
cut a number 6 on my Cameo and attached it to the top of the card with a brown
pearl brad
I popped the
card through the door and around 20 minutes later I had a phone message of
Harry proudly holding his card and he said thank you...that really made it
worth making1
I do hope you
like this card as much as Harry does, and if you want to know about the cds I
used please just message me
See you tomorrow
my friends
Hugs
