Wishes For A Beautiful Birthday
Hello bloggers! I started with a piece of Heather card and cut the Decorative Drapes Border twelve times in black. I glued them to the background in groups o two facing each other across the card. Next I cut the Looped Squares in white and added it to the centre of the card. I cut the Della die with a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card. I coloured the white die cut piece with alcohol markers for the leaves. I glued the black die cut on top of the white one. I cut the die again out of Heather card and used the fall away pieces from the flowers and paper pieced them into the die. I stamped the sentiment from the Sending Sunshine die set and then cut the inner decorative oval to go over it. I trimmed away the excess card and added it to the middle of the die. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 9 1/4" in size.

All Geared Up To Celebrate
Hi there my crafty friends! I selected a piece of black gloss card and embossed the Crisscross stencil. I cut the Assorted Tool Border that looks like a slotted screwdriver out of Brushed Silver card four times. I glued it around the edge of the embossed mask design. Next I cut the Industrial Chic Frame & Tag in black and glued it to the background. I cut the Porsche from the Super Cars die set in red. I used a fine tipped felt marker to add in the detail to the car and added a piece of white card behind to fill in the window areas. I used a silver paint pen on the rims and coloured the tyres black. I added the car in the bottom corner. I cut the All Geared Up To Celebrate sentiment in red and added it to a white shadow backing piece. I added it with mounting foam across the Industrial Chic Frame. The card was completed with white, red and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 71/2" x 7 1/2" in size.

Sending Sunshine
Hello crafters! I began today's card by cutting the Swirly Scrolls Background in both white and black card. I used the black die cut as an offset shadow behind the white die cut. I added a piece of Marigold Yellow card behind the background. I added a piece of white vellum on top of the background, the attached a white frame cut from the Double Stitched Rectangles with mounting foam. Next I cut the Della die with a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card. I used alcohol ink markers to colour the image that was debossed into the white copy. I glued the black die cut on top of it and added it to the inside of the frame with mounting foam. I stamped the sentiment from the Sending Sunshine stamp set and cut it out with the inner decorative oval form the Della set. I used Mustard Seed distress ink around the sentiment while it was still in the die. I glued it to the centre of the Della die. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/4" in size.

World's Best Dad
Hi there my crafty friends! I selected a piece of white card for the background. I cut a tapered strip of Slate grey card and added some white lines down the middle of it. I cut the Vintage Car die out of aqua card. I used a white pencil to shade the sides and a grey pencil to fill in the tires and bumper. I added mounting foam to the back of the car and attached it to the road. I cut a circle out of some card and sponged Mustard Seed distress ink through it to create a sun in the background. I cut the World's Best Dad sentiment in black and glued it to a white shadow backing piece. I added mounting foam to the back and seated it in the upper corner of the card. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8 1/4" in size.
