More cards

As you know, being able to make cards for people is something I really enjoy.  This card was tailored for a friend who has a big birthday this year and includes lots of things she likes, such as travelling, gardens, flowers, cups of tea/coffee, reading, embroidery, painting and cats. I also found a page from a class register in a digital kit which I used for the background, as we worked together as teaching assistants, and a couple of dictionary definitions for children and grandchildren.   

The back of the card symbolises the travels she has been on as her husband is a keen birdwatcher!

This was the other card I made for her, as she liked a page like this that I had done in a journal, so I reproduced it for her.

Men's cards are always a little trickier, so I do keep an eye out for stamps or stencils that would work well.  Geometric shapes are usually a good choice.  This is one of the Sizzix stencils I bought in August - you can see them here. 

This was for my nephew.  

This was for my sister who has seen some of the slow drawings I do and so I thought I should use them for her card.  I have a box full of these little drawings/paintings, so it is good to be able to use them.

I have some cards to make for November birthdays, so will need to get on with them next.
