Art Deco Birthday cards

Sharing some Art Deco Birthday cards that I made for some birthdays last month.

I do love a bit of Art Deco, there is something so chic about that era of design and decadence and how the ladies dressed.

For these card I have used the Match It Build a Scene Art Deco Gatsby 2 Paper Pack, along with the matching dies (that I have not shown) from Debbi Moore Designs. This is part of the beautiful Art Deco Collection, one of many.

There are regular deals on her Facebook lives and Website for her products that are worth keeping an eye on too.

The backing papers are mixed and match from one of her Art Deco download collections, and I have a very healthy collection of her designs, which I have been collecting and using for many years.

The toppers and decoupage paper pad come in a selection of colourways, but I particularly like this one and one of the brilliant things about Debbi Moore is that she gives you a forever code that enables you to download the paper pad when it runs out.

The floral paper has been printed onto Debbi Moore's pearlised paper. It is 120gsm, a very pale cream with a pearly finish. Definitely worth having in your crafty stash as it prints beautifully, giving your paper a delicate shimmer.

I normally edge my cards with Sakura twilight gelly roll pens, as they leave a fine iridescent shimmered edge on your layers and are also great for highlighting too.

This particular shaped card has already gone to one of my lovely neighbours for her birthday. It is a lot easier not having to worry about posting your handmade cards, as they rarely arrive in the condition you send them and the cost to pad them out for travel keeps going up.

I have used miri board and foam pads between the layers to add a bit of dimension and cut the border off the background topper (as it was a bit too big for this card), and used it on the box envelope that I made.

My next card was from the same Match It Build a Scene Art Deco Gatsby 2 Paper Pack, but I just chose a different colourway as this was for my sister-in-law.

I decided that I didn't want to use all of the paper on one of the papers that I printed off for my second card, so I just kept the deep red tiered bordered base and used the border again for the top of the card.

I've used miri board and foam pads on the topper to add some dimension, and both Art Deco ladies have been decoupaged, too. I have also added some crystal gems along the border and some woven braiding instead of ribbon.

I've used some of my shimmer clear glitter pen on the Art Deco ladies, too and made a box for this card, covering the lid with matching backing papers.

There are lots of free digital downloads on Debbi Moore's website if you are looking for inspiration for a crafty project or looking at making a card or two, as well as some gorgeous cardmaking kits and digital ones too.

Thanks for stopping by today to view my little crafty space.

Have a great week, whatever you have planned for yourself.

Happy Crafting

Cute Paws Birthday Cards - WOYWW

Today I am sharing a pair of birthday cards made earlier in the year for twins.

I'm also joining up with the weekly WOYWW group link up (what's on your work Wednesday) over on Sarah's Craft Shed, so I've got some catching up to do as usual.

WOYWW is a weekly blog hop where we all have a look at look at what everyone has been up to. Follow the link above for more information.

So on my desk, I have downloaded and cut out one of files that I had called Cute Paws from Debbi Moore Designs This particular download was from one of Debbi's weekly Treasure Hunts which she has run on her Facebook lives for the past few years to inspire crafters to craft and share.

Every week you can download a free project using the code from the Treasure hunt on the Facebook Live and collect some beautiful projects to craft with.

I have used this one a few times and sometimes when I need a card, I don't need to look to very far but my collection of varied downloads which I can mix and match to suit what I need, which is how I like to craft these days.

I have used 6 inch white card bases, Sakura sparkle pens and glossy accents to highlight and add texture.

I edited the bones with the boys names and then mounted them on foam pads. I like the fact that I can resize the elements that I choose to use and only print off what I need.

I thought these images would look great inside the cards too.

This 6 inch birthday card was made more recently using the same design.

and another cute pup inside the card too.

During the summer, we came home to find this little robin bobbing abound on the lawn in our back garden, so he was named 'Bob!'

Choosing to have a snooze on the lawn perhaps wasn't the safest place with so many cats around that would find him a tasty treat, let alone the sparrow hawk who frequently visits but we certainly enjoy to see the robins pass through our garden.

Have a great day, whatever you have planned for yourself.

Happy Crafting

Krishna Birthday Card WOYWW 798

Sharing a birthday card commissioned for a friend and I based my card around their chosen image.

I'm linking up to the weekly blog hop for 'What's on my workdesk Wednesday' ( WOYWW), where we all see what everyone has been doing. If you'd like to know more about it, then please visit Sarahscraftshed.co.uk

So on my desk, I collected a mix of what I thought I might use for this project. I die cut a lacy frame from a Tattered Lace die set in gold mirri board, and used one of the papers from a retired digi collection by Debbi Moore Designs - Jewel of India, which I also die cut using another die from the Fine Filament Portofino collection.

I thought the satin blue textured card would bring out the blue tones in the image and I

also cut out some of the embellishments from the CD that I was hoping to use too.

I also found some orchid die cuts in my crafty stash that I thought would go well with my card and lift the colours too. I added a few of the jewel embellishments in between the foliage and a little 'ohm' symbol in the corner. Finally, I added small gold pearls around the edge of the card.

As this was a special birthday card, I wanted the envelope to look as special too so I used a patterned cardstock and the paper embellishments to decorate along with my shimmer pen and glossy accents.
