Masculine birthday Card

 Dear Friends

A very good afternoon.

I had to make masculine Birthday cards for a dear friend of mine

I took a piece of A4 paper measuring 4 by 5 1/2 inches and made a shirt. Then i took a 2 by 2 inch square and folded that into a tie. I attached a blue color brad as a tie pin. Then I attached that to a card base. Then I attached a sentiment. The other cards are simple Birthday cards to which i attached a blue color embelishment. These are my simple masculine Birthday cards. Hope you like them.

Chaos

 Chaos

Good Morning dear friends

You must be wondering why I named the post as Chaos. I wanted to make some masculine cards. I used a black ink to stamp the sentiment and as it was light i colored with a marker and five minutes down the line the ink was in two spots of the card. I went to die cut a sentimnet and the measurement was wrong and i had to discard the card and mind you i didnnt have any more cardstock of that colour . Lol. what i did was i cut the card stock in two and saved the good piece. The other one i turned it to the other side and die cut the same sentiment about four times. Since it was masculine card I made a shirt and Tie and put a tie pin too but because of the ink bobbos I had to redo it again. Have you experienced such days. I will never forget yesterday as this was the first time I experienced such chaos. At the end of it I made four masculine cards and i have ordered some stamps and dies to make more masculine cards.

Here are my Masculine cards

21st Birthday

Dear Friends
A very good afternoon to you.
I made two Birthday cards for a girl who celebrated ber 21st Birthday on 18th August.
It was my first order. The mother wanted the cards to be in Pink.

I made one card with a key with a bow peeking out of a window and the card front had a tiny little pink dress with a pink baby rose and a small jewel and a handbag with a pink rose and a paper clip which i made following G.I Kerr. I attached the key, the dress and the handbag using glue dots so that if she wants she can keep them. Inside was decorated with a verse and three baloons in Pink, Purple and Blue.

The Other card had an intricate shoe and flowers all over, with a pink shimmery butterfly and  a Happy Birthday sentiment. I attached small jewels to the centers of the flowers . I used different shades of pink cardstock.I am not a good photographer and therefore you cannot see the images clearly but everybody appreciated and I have got more orders.




Thank you each and everyone of you ladies who have taught me everything. I am  so happy.

Beautiful friendship

Good morning Dear friends
This is a card I made for my dearest friend Maryanne

Products
Cardstock
stamps
Colleen water colored pencils

Method
I cut a [piece of cardstock to fit as a layer. Then I stamped the rose in black initially. Then i coloured two layers of pink watercolor pencils and shaded it. Then I used some pencil shavings to look like drops. I pasted a sticker of a tiny butterfly as no flower is complete without a butterfly. I didnt use anything else to jazz the card as i wanted the attention to the sentiment What a beautiful Blessing You are to me. My friend is a true blessing to me.

Pretty in Pink

Surekha GalagodaGood Morning Dear Friends
My Grand daughter's Birthday was on 1st August.
She wanted a pop up card in pink as her favourite color now is Pink.


Materials used
Pink cardstock
flower die
squirrels stamp
Colleen water Color pencils


Method
I folded a piece of cardstock measuring 4 1/4 *5 1/2  and kept it aside.  Then I took a piece of cardstock measuring 5 1/2*5 1/2 and scored it at 3/4,4 and 4 3/4. I learnt the method from Jennifer Mcguire. I decorated that using a image of Olaf as her birthday party was themed olaf. I stamped three squirrels using a stamp. I colored all three in brown and the mama carries a cake, the baby a love heart as my grand daughter loves love hearts and Dada a cup. After that I cut a flower shape in the  4 1/4 by 5 1/2 piece and made the Olaf peek through the window. To fit the inside piece to the card  the fold lind of the card and the inside pieces were put together and the left side was adhered to the card base and the card was closed and the right side was adhered to the card base on the other side. I die cut the words Happy Birthday using a die. This is my simple card I made for my one and only Grand daughters 8th Birthday. They are in New Zealand and post is not working from Sri Lanks so I only showed the card to her. I also did a count down for her Birthday using all little memories of her including the first Baby shirt she wore.

My one and only God given gift
