Same Card, Different Colour

I was just loving myself silly when I made my pink butterfly cards for my neice and friend, that I decided to repeat the pattern, only use blue instead.  Hmm... I think I like the blue better.  What do you think?

Sophie and Simone's Birthday

My friend Simone and my neice, Sophie both have birthdays in November so I made them the same style card.  I made this using the sets: French Foliage, Kindness Matters and Letter it.  I love how the French Foliage set has a stamp that looks like something has spilt on the paper, giving it a really weathered look.  I finished it off with crumbcake Seam Binding Ribbon.  The butterflies were hand cut, which made it a bit fiddly, but worth it.

French Foliage Gift Tag

Last weekend I had to go to a guy's 40th and wanted to give a small gift.  I racked my brain and came up with the extremely unoriginal idea of giving a bottle of red wine.  I made this tag to dress up the bottle.

I used the new set, French Foliage to make this.  There is a little stamp in the set that looks like ink has splattered onto the page, which I really like the look of.

Gift Card Holder

Wow!  It has been a whole month since I've posted something!  I have been in a card making frenzy, now that it is getting close to Christmas.

It is my mum's birthday next week so I wanted to make a card for her.  All three of her girls are giving her cash so she can spend it on a cruise she is going on in January.  I decided to make her a gift card holder and put cash inside it. 

To constuct it, I cut the card into a rectangle of 6 1/2" x  4 1/2" (I have started using inches) and the I scored the card at 1 1/2" and at 4".  I then folded it into eachother and decorated it.  I used brads to secure the pouch at the bottom.  I stamped the design using French Foliage and used the colours:  Always Artichoke, Early Expresso and Soft Suede.

We will be making one of these at the card making day this Sunday, but with a Christmas theme!  See side panel for details.

The holder is smaller than it looks in the picture, but can fit cash or a gift card perfectly.
