A Box of Balloons

Hi there :)

I really enjoyed making Hannah's graduation box card a few weeks ago so I decided to use the same design for a 21st Birthday card for a friends daughter.... this time it's filled with birthday balloons...

Definitely a girlie card... all those balloons in shades of pinks with some glittery white ones thrown in and they're floating away with the help of some acetate strips which also make them gently sway in the lightest breeze ...

I hand-drew and cut out the 2 and 1 shaped balloons from black glitter card ... 

I used an MFT background stamp to make the panels for the flaps and 

used Paper Smooches dies for the greeting

I shared this card over at Seven Hills Crafts blog on Monday so more details and

 links to the products I used can be found here

Another fun card to make and Katie was thrilled with it too :)

Thanks for stopping by :)

Hats Off to our Girl!!

Hi there :)

It's been a busy week but I've finally got a chance to share the Graduation card I made for our daughter, I cannot believe how quick these four years have gone. Hannah has worked so hard and enjoyed University life, we are so proud of her graduating with a First in Psychology from Bath University.

Onto her card.....well it had to be a special card and I knew I wanted to use the Hats Off stamps from Avery Elle so I thought I'd try a box card for something a little different...

I followed a tutorial online for the box assembly and then added the rows of hands and hats on acetate strips to give the impression of movement :)

I love how these cards can still fold flat although some of those hats did poke outside the folded footprint so I had to make an envelope to place the card in...

For more details and supplies please click here to go to my DT blog post over at Seven Hills crafts :)

I'm pleased to say they were able to throw their hats in the air for a group photo... and not have to photoshop them in afterwards as some Universities have suggested!!

Thanks for stopping by :)
