Gamers Birthday Card

 



Free image from PngTree.   


Matched the colours in the image to my collection of cardstock and made up the background to match.


Hope he takes up another hobby before next years birthday otherwise I think it will be pretty predictable!  Lol!

Polish Paper Cuts Christmas Card

 


These are unbranded Polish Papercut dies that I bought from China.


The intention originally was to make a birthday card for my friend who is very proud of her polish heritage but we had some work done on the house and it felt like you couldn't move in any room for weeks on end so any type of crafting was out of the question!


So, this may have been my one and only handmade christmas card for this year, but the recipient really did appreciate it!

FAO LAURA: Who left a comment on the Poinsettia Ribbon Christmas Cards

 I tried to contact you personally but couldn't find a way of doing it.

If you go into a well known online marketplace and search in the die cutting category for China dies, you will see some come up which will lead you to others.

Some people use AlliExpress where it is all based in China.

The quality can be sometimes a bit questionable but for the price, I'm prepared to take the risk.

I really hope you see this and apologies for not replying sooner but I don't get notified when someone leaves a comment. 

Thank you though, it was lovely to read.

Fathers Day Card

 


I had seen the words 'King of Dads' used on other cards and I really liked the sentiment and wanted to use it..

Used an app to change a photo into a line drawing.  I wanted it to be as simple as possible and still be recognisable and this was as far as I could go without losing too much.

Added a free clipart crown and that was it.
