Morning - this is the card I made for my great-nephew's recent birthday. The image is from Hunkydory's The Little Book of All Ages, teamed up with some gorgeous blue mirror card. The dotty card is from my stash, and I have die cut some of the blue mirror with Crafter's Companion Inverted Stitched Zig-Zag Rectangle.
Thanks for popping by.

I used this gorgeous image from Hunkydory's In Full Plume collection for my friend's birthday card. This one is from the Beautiful Blue Tits sheet, teamed up with silver mirror card.

A few quick blogs over the next few days, catching up on sharing some personal family and friend cards - so no step-by-steps or videos.
The first is this one for my brother-in-law.
Thanks for popping by.
Happy crafting!!

Today's card was for my lovely sister-in-law's birthday. I used Hunkydory Peony Dreams - A Lovely Day for both the topper and patterned card. To that, I added some pink Core'dinations card and silver mirror card, cut with Crafter's Companion Stitched Squares and Inverted Stitched Lace Scalloped Squares. I love this palette of pink and blue!!
Today's share is the 30th birthday card I made for my stepson's recent 30th birthday.
I decided I would like to make my friends something different this year, and decided to go for a bow card. I initially purchased a template, but it wasn't big enough, so I decided to create my own. I started with the basic shapes, and then created the template for the mats and layers. It took a bit of fiddling around, but eventually I had what I wanted.
The flower is cut with Gemini Elements - Elegant Ranunculus - dies, and the sentiment is stamped with Tattered Lace Distress Ink, and comes from Crafter's Companion Birthday Greetings clear stamp set. I also inked the edges of all the papers with Tattered Rose DI.
The hexagon card was printed onto white stamping card, and cut by hand.

Today's share is a little card made using Hunkydory's "A Birthday Surprise" from their Pick 'n' Mix selection.
I used a 5x5 scalloped card blank, with some gold mirror card. I used a Crafter's Companion Stitched Edge Square die to create the back layer, and a square of light green card to match the topper. And all it needed to finish off, was a little bow.

It was recently my eldest grandson's second birthday. We've barely seen him this past year, and missed his first birthday! Anyway, we were able to have a garden visit this weekend, and I made his birthday card using Hunkydory's Pick and Mix - Fun On Safari topper sheet.
My husband is very into wildlife - he works for our local wildlife trust - so I do like to use wildlife themed things for his cards. This Hunkydory topper set, was a member's free gift. It's from the Meadow Hares collection, and is called "Hello Hare".
It really didn't need much else other than a piece of gold mirror card, and a sentiment cut using Crafter's Companion Essentials dies.

I made this card for a friend of mine. It uses an old Create and Craft Topper and patterned card. I love the sage green colours of the card, and it makes me feel like (hopefully) Spring and Summer are not too far away.
Yes! Another football card. This one is Hunkydory - and I think it's a Made for Men one, but can't be sure. The grey background card is Manly Moments card block, and the blue dotty card is from my local market.
The little dots are from a really old embellishment sheet bought from The Range.

This one was for my brother-in-law - a carpenter/joiner by trade! Love the colours of the topper.
... of the New Year! Bit late but better late than never. So, have already had family birthdays this month, and here's the first of them.
This one was for my Mother-In-Law, made using Hunkydory Wonderful Women - A House For Flowers, and card from their Floral Delights card block.
This one was for my sister - and another one made with the Heavenly Hummingbirds from Hunkydory's In Full Plume collection.
For my Mum's birthday, I used this topper from a very old collection I think I bought from Create and Craft.
This card was for my niece, using Hunkydory's In Full Plume "Heavenly Hummingbirds".

Have a few remaining family birthday cards that I haven't shared, and hopefully I can get them all shared before the end of the year - which will be a first!
This one was for one of my stepdaughters, and is using Hunkydory Pick 'n' Mix "The Perfect Blend".
So, I have been working full time in school the past two weeks, which means I haven't been able to really focus on anything else. At Use Your Craft Stash, we still have a Christmas theme, but after the announcement earlier, I am really not feeling festive. So, here is the last of my 5 hat easel cards, made for my friend's December birthday. Instructions for making the hat easel can be found in a previous post. The making of the flowers can be found in another post.
For the base, I used A3 Centura Pearl, and the pink card is Crafter's Companion A3 Shabby Chic Classic. The other patterned card is from a very old DCWV Luxury Cardstock Stack.
This is the birthday card I made for my stepdaughter. I used one of the toppers from the Hunkydory Pick and Mix sheet - A Birthday Surprise! The patterned card (I think) is from another old Hunkydory Topper set, teamed up with orange and green Core'dinations and gold mirror card.
The letters were cut with Crafter's Companion Decorative Alphabet.
Happy crafting.
