60th Birthday Card

Hello,

One of my dear friends turned 60 on 8th July.  I struggled trying to find a colour to match the Designer Series Paper in her favourite colour - purple, so I decided to use the returning Blackberry Bliss.

I wanted to make something a little different, so opted for the words sixty, rather than numbers.  I'm reasonably happy with the finished card.  The inspiration for my card came from Fiona Bradley.

If you'd like to make this card, here's what you'll need.  The Falling Petals Embossing Folder has retired, but I think this card would work with any embossing folder you prefer.

Happy Birthday - Butterflies Thinlits & Label me Pretty

Goodness me.  It's been 4 weeks since I've posted!  As I mentioned in September, I've struggled getting my mojo back after my holiday.  I'm better organised now, despite having a few things on - preparing for classes, my sister's '0' birthday and my husband's few days in hospital following surgery (he's now recuperating at home but still can't drive), and a couple of requests from a friend.

Here's the birthday cards I made for my friend's two sisters-in-law, one of which was inspired from scrappinandstampiningj.blogspot.com, the other from Melissa Davies (rubberfunatics.blogspot.com).  Some of the items I used have been retired unfortunately, but I've listed details of both for inspiration.

Starburst Framelits Die [132967] $45.95

A couple of notes:  Wondering what the envelope punch board was used for?  Well, I used it to round the corners on the butterfly card.  I didn't have the current Delicate White Doilies (Item no 141701), so I used one of the retired Lace doilies.  The Starburst Framelits were used to improvise because I didn't have any scallop shapes to back the label.  

Do you live in Australia, are interested in making these yourself, but don't have the current products?  Just click on the link below the photo to take you directly to the product.  Alternatively,  click here to take you to my shop, or send me an email.
