Cards for milestones

I didn't really fancy of any of the card challenges this week so here are a couple of cards I prepared earlier.
I've taken a liking to using photographs in cards that celebrate milestones: it really personalises them I think. This card, below, is for a friend, Paula. The handmade paper is by Lakeland and the stamp used is by Hero Arts, the flowers painted with Twinkling H2Os and then cut out and mounted.
Recently our student intern left after her year's work experience, and this was the card, right, I created for her.


The background paper is from the Rockstar pad by DCWV; the flowers I decorated with glitter glue and the pink tag in the bottom corner is by K&Co.

Personalising birthday cards

One of the biggest rewards with cardmaking is making cards which are highly personal to the recipient.

This card is for Claire's 40th birthday - she loves Eeyore so I bought some Sandy Lion stickers earlier in the year with a view to using them on a card for her.Silver mirri card along the left hand side (doesn't photograph well) and the balloons and greeting are by K&Co.

Eamon meanwhile was celebrating his 50th birthday, and as a golf lover, that was easy enough to do! I used decoupage with Glossy Accents, a golf trophy peel-off by Anita's on gold mirri card, and glittery chipboard letters by K&Co.
