{Life is Beautiful birthday card}

Being a cardmaker it's only right and proper that my children get hand crafted cards for their birthdays.

This year I asked my daughter what she wanted on it, her request was cherry blossoms, pink and green.

Here is the result... so I had to add some extra bling and glitz.

I used the gorgeous tree image from Life is Beautiful, and the flowers from Framed for You.  The small flowers were punched out with the Confetti Flowers Border Punch

{Paper pieced Super Hero Card}

So excited to share this card with you.

Often when it comes to card making I end up choosing products that I like the look of to make cards that are pleasing to me.  However when making a card for a specific occasion or person, you have to set aside your personal preferences and work harder to create something that will be meaningful to the recipient but will also satisfy your personal creative standards.

I searched on Pinterest for various icons associated with various characters, then tried to create something similar.  I ended up with this palette of primary colours and combinations of various shapes.

I used a sponge with a little dab of black ink around the edges of the circles to help make them stand out.  The colours I used were Blueberry Bushel, Poppy Parade, Pineapple Punch and a little piece of Balmy Blue/

These are the circle punches I used.

Here is a short video of how I put the card together.

{Detailed 20th birthday card}

Had the wonderful pleasure of making this as a commission. I had made a 60th birthday card for a friend, and had shared it on Facebook, a lovely lady asked me to make one similar for her daughter.

Here is video and a commentary on how I made it.
