It's my Mum's birthday on Christmas Eve, this is the card I've made for her, it's an 8x8 gatefold with a die cut centre, done with a grand Spellbinders label die. She hates it when people wrap her birthday presents in Christmas paper, or worse still, give her a Christmas card as a birthday card, so every year, I deliberately make her card as un-Christmassy as I can!
The pretty papers are First Edition, Sweet Owl, I got them half price at the SECC in October, some are double sided and some are glittered, all are beautiful. I know Mum will love them, she was slightly envious that I snaffled the last pack, I offered them to her, but she chose Love Letters instead, although she has oohed and aahed over this lovely stack at mine more than once!
The image is a Dovecraft stamp which has been coloured with Promarkers, with paper piecing for the cake stand. The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and the bunting was cut with a Joy die, I stamped the lettering on with mini alphabet stamps. The row of cupcakes was done with a Martha Stewart punch, the flowers were made with Spellbinders Carnation Creations dies and an Xcut punch, and the flourish was cut with a Tim Holtz Sizzix die.
