Quite a few big birthdays again this year although not as many as 2024 which was astonishing lol. You may notice its not my usual eclipse or shaped card, I was struggling to find my large envelopes so decided to make this 7x5 and I liked it with the card base more than free standing so expect to see more of the same.
I loved this image since I first saw it and it seemed perfect for my uncle, hopefully he will see the funny side.
This wasn't the direction I originally intended for this card but I am pleased with how it turned out. No idea where the stamp is from as it was a gift and I wish I did know as I would like more lol.
Along the same lines as the previous card as the stencil was still on my desk and I had the made to surprise box set out so I thought why not make two same but different cards, this was a go to when I was stressed with making so I am trying to do that again to alleviate some stress. Now I am aware that card making should be a de stress but sometimes when you have a lot to make and not much mojo its not stress free lol
This card came together so fast it made my head spin, its for a bingo friend and the idea came about after a discussion about tea one evening, I knew she would get the concept and the sentiment and she did immediately. It was nice to revisit an older design that I enjoyed making but that does seem to be a recurring theme at the moment.
I felt similar during lockdown as I do at the moment, everything feels heavy and I hope it passes sooner than the lockdown did.
When I was looking for a design for this teenagers card I remembered the net stencil and that I had this made to surprise set and an idea was born. I have used this set with quite a few images so far and its so versatile for those guys in our lives.
Last of these for a while, not permanently though cos I made a few lol. I tried to make these look different by changing the inside colour but I am not a fan, so the next ones I went back to the original colours.
Can you see a theme lol. I had the stamp in my misti so I stamped a few more, as usual I tried to match the hair colour of the recipient and I know this card was really liked and they commented that they wished they had a cardi like the one here lol.
