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!

Happy Father's Day Booklet Card

I have had this idea in my head for a while and finally got a chance to have a play 

(just in time for father's Day!).

 The card has been created using the collection of papers I designed for the docrafts Creativity Club called 'All Tooled Up Father's Day Printables', which can be downloaded by Club members for free!

The card is created using three different length pages and bound together using Papermania Brown String. I mounted all the cut out elements onto card first to give the booklet strength and stuck them on using Stick it! 3D Adhesive Foam Pads for dimension. 

The following shots show each page from front to back (excuse the quality of the photography, I was taking these late last night on my ipad and my lighting is shocking at home!)

 

 

I have uploaded this project into my docrafts gallery with more detailed step by steps so 

pop on over if you fancy reading more.

I want to try and make a card for my hubby by the weekend using my bottle holder 

card idea so watch this space!

Thank you for looking
