Peel off flower birthday card

Use decorative papers and peel offs to create a pretty birthday card

I've done a previous card where you stamp onto patterned paper then cut out (click here to see this card) but this time I am using some peel offs. I have quite a few peel offs that I have accumulated over the years and I am trying to find different ways of using them.

I've used flower peel off's but any pictured peel offs with largish cut outs in them will work. I have a lovely kimono peel off that I may try later with some pink or purple card behind it. I've then used the same patterned paper to create the border at the bottom of the card.

Double edge stepper card

I used Lawn Fawns really cute cat stamps to decorate the double edge stepper card

This weeks post is more about showing you how to do another shaped card rather than the decoration. I will go through how I decorated this card incase you have the stamps and wish to make one similar.

This one takes a bit of measuring, cutting and folding so I recommend you practise on a piece of printer paper first so you know how to make one before starting on some precious card stock.

It's a great card base to make if you have a lot of little stamps or images you wish to show off.

Birthday Candles

Make a really bold birthday card using washi tape for the candles

Are all crafters hoarders? I know I definitely am! I realised I had a lovely collection of washi tape the other day and needed to find a way to use some of it. So hence my birthday candles card. It's quite simple to make and it will show of your lovely collection of tape !

You don't need to do any complicated measuring, just stick your tape down to the lengths you feel looks right. I've gone for a sort of blue theme but there is so much gorgeous patterned tape out there, you could knock up a batch of these quite quickly.

Double Z fold card

Decorate this double Z fold card with birds and feathers

This week I wanted to show you how to make a different shaped card. This double Z folded card looks complicated but it really isn't. I also wanted to challenge myself to make a card using items from the front of a magazine. I bought the July 2020 edition of Crafts Beautiful which has stamps on the front of butterflies, birds and feathers. I didn't look in the magazine for inspiration as I wanted it to be my ideas so just took the stamps and got creating.

 This is the end result (I'm going to read the magazine next to see what they did with their cards !)
