Good Morning everyone.
Wishing you all a Happy & Healthy 2022
I hope you all had a lovely festive period. The only new year resolution i always make is a crafty one that im usually good at sticking with, i think this year i am going to continue my stash busting, i made a good dent last year in the thousands of sheets of coloured cardstock that i collected before i started making my own backgrounds so i will continue with that.
My niece Sophie was 10 just before Christmas, these are the 2 cards i made her, as always for family birthdays i make the one my parents give as well so they need to be totally different.
Sophie was fascinated with the box card i made for Alice's Birthday in August that i thought i would make a version for Sophie. Those 10 years have flown by for sure. I dug out my katzelkraft flamingo stamp
I made up the box card from this lovely blue cardstock and used sea themed papers from a paper pad from the works last year. I stamped the flamingo 10 times as it was Sophie's 10th birthday, watercoloured with distress inks and cut them out. So that i got a balanced placement of them in the box i used repositionable tape to just hold them in place and once happy i then glued permanently into place.
I added touches of stickles glitter glue to add some sparkle and a computer printed sentiment die cut into an oval. There is space on the back of the box for writing the greeting.

card 2 i made for Sophie is a handbag card as she's 10 going on 21! She loves her fashion. I dug out a very old (10+yrs) kanban paper pad in pink and grey and teamed it with black card. I founded a silver wired ribbon that was ideal for the handle and a large gem button that i cut off a new cardigan was ideal for the handbag closure.
I used my grand spellbinders labels 1 to cut a base card from black cardstock. I also cut a flap using curved edge dies and pockets using smaller labels 1. I die cut smaller panels from various papers from the paper pad. To the back of the bag flap i glued in silver wired ribbon to act as the handle. I added bling buttons backed with large & 2 tiny flowers cut from one of the papers. Sentiment computer printed onto a pink pearl card that i die cut into tags with spellbinders labels 4, the 2nd tag hiding underneath says 10 today.
