Birthday card for a dear friend

Good morning everyone, I hope that you have escaped those gales and lashing rain although I fear that not many have, and the forecast is not good for the rest of the week! At least it's a good reason to lock ourselves in craft areas.

This is my first card for 2012 and is for a friend who I know doesn't come on the blogs.

For once, I haven't cut and folded my own card, this is from an 8x8 Papermania pack of Kraft cards. The corrugated and plain card card is from PDA.  Tools used are; Marianne dies, Go Kreate scalloped circle dies, SU stamp and punches, Martha Stewart flutterby punch. All punched and diecuts are pearlised card from stash. Paper inside card is from J&P Pictures. 

I hope you like because I am delighted with it :o)

Two very simple cards

Good morning everyone, I hope all is well with you :o)

Not the best I've ever made but I decided I would show them to you anyway LOL.

The card above may not be the best ever, but I was chuffed that I managed to design the 'let it snow' caption and the snowman border. The HOTP paper is an offcut from years ago

This is my fave of the two. The buff coloured card is from PDA, the reindeer is, I think, a Sizzix diecut from a friend, and of course the TH tree embossing folder. Sentiment stamp has no name on it but I punched it with SU :o)

I like this one better

Good morning everyone, it's a little overcast and very windy here this morning but still very warm! I hope that you are all well.

I decided to have another go at a brayering/silhouette card and I am fairly pleased with this one. I bought this Lindsay Mason stamp set a few weeks ago and hadn't got around to using them until now.

Using a Big and Juicy inkpad, I brayered a strip of card and then used one end of it to stamp the fairy scene onto. The rest I stamped with SU stamps from a couple of sets and the magic is from the fairy set. I used a smidgin of glamour dust for the fairy dust. Basically it's a very simple card :o)
