Happy Birthday Mum Booklet Card

Well, it's July 13th and today we celebrate both my daughter's 6th and my Mum's (something!) birthday, so a busy day all round! It seems like only yesterday Mum was urging me to 'Hurry Up!"

as her birthday was nearly over and baby still had to make its entrance - luckily, I was able to

 give her the best birthday present ever, a healthy Granddaughter, the delightfully lovely

(sometimes tricky!) Evie Mae.

Here's the booklet card I made for Mum, designed to contain her gift vouchers. I created it using a mix of  Floral and Paisley papers I designed for the docrafts Creativity Club along with a mix of

Papermania Vintage Notes and Capsule Pastels collections.

The heart is the gorgeous Papermania Vintage Notes Filigree Heart die.

The 3D flowers on the front were made by rolling and scrunching a length

of burgundy paper, then securing the base before attaching to the

card with silicone glue.

I made the letter templates by printing them out from my pc then cutting

the shapes from the Floral rose papers. I love the dimensional look so I have used

loads of 3D sticky pads and layers to create depth.

The vintage effect was made by swiping a dark pink

dye pad over all the card edges. 

On the last page of the booklet, I created a mini open envelope

to house  the vouchers.

Thanks for taking the time to look!

Over the Hill Bottle Gift Card

I have had this idea rattling around in my head for a while. Whenever I give anyone a bottle of wine, it always feels a little impersonal, so, how about creating a card which wraps around the bottle so it acts as both greeting and gift wrap?! Here is a version I have made using this week's Creativity Club 'Over the Hill' printables...

 

 

I created a sleeve from white card to fit around the bottle, then added the mini blue dotty paper leaving a white edge. The field paper was stuck on top centrally, cutting around the top cloud to add some shape to the top. I then stuck a selection of the birds, sentiments, trees and fences onto more white card, cut them out and attached them to the sleeve using 3D adhesive dots.

 

On the back, I added a decorative rectangle, covering the sleeve join,

as a place to write your message.

 

 

 

 I also created a little sleeve to fit onto the bottle neck using the same techniques.

I wrapped the paper ribbon around a pencil to achieve the curled effect.

I hope this has given you a little inspiration. I would love to see what you think so please post a comment if you have time!
