My Kids Birthday Cards

Next week my three children have their birthdays on
the same day and so I have had to prepare 3 birthday
cards for them.  Usually I make all the cards using
the same subject - and this time it is retro fashion.
I have decoupaged each one just a little, the background
is from a Cuttlebug birthday embossing folder and the
shapes made using Spellbinders nestabilities.

Dryer Sheet Method

Here is a card using the dryer sheet method, which
is very easy to do.  Here is a link to a video of how
to use this method  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1JUgGHL118

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
This card has been entered to the Anything But Cute Challenge #28
on Paper Craft Planet.

Using Posters

A good way to find pictures is to look for posters and to use
them in your card making. You can find posters on just
about any subject you can think of.  Here are two examples
of cards using posters

Keep watching this post!  I am working on it and hope to
give a lot more ideas on card making.  Also working on
freebies - but as I can't draw they will be greetings for cards.

Cupcake Card

Today I played around with a digi by Lisa Larsen and made
a card using her cupcake digi.  It looks slightly out of shape
and that's because when I decided to put glitter in the
middle of the yellow flower I put the glue on and instead
of glitter used embossing powder -   I will try to put a heavy
book on it to straighten the card up!

Using Oriental Paper

I have just been given paper from someone who has just
come back from Japan, and as I already had some which
one of my daughters bought me, was wondering which was
the best way to use the papers. I decided to look up how to
make an origami kimono.  Following is the kimono which I
made, and which, by the way, was very easy to make.




















I also have a disk called "Oriental Origins" by Cupcake Crafting
and made a card using one of the flowers from the disk. This
flower also has its own backgrounds, but I wanted to make
use of paper I already had.  I have used Nestabilities for the
shaping and Swiss Dots embossing folder from Cuttlebug.
I did a little decoupage on the flower.
