Children's Birthday Cards

I don't very often make children's birthday cards and I suppose this is because I don't have any children of my own or get asked to make any. However, I recently offered to make some for a friend so I set myself a new challenge.  

My first thoughts were that they need to be colourful and fun in their design so as usual I turned to Pinterest for inspiration.  I found some ideas I liked and set about designing something similar with my Cameo Silhouette.

The two cards below were the inspiration.  They are popular designs that others have also replicated.





The Silhouette software was used to draw the legs of the birds and write the sentiment on the first card and then just the sentiment on the second card.

Here are the two cards:

Valentine Cards

For this collection of Valentine Cards I have used dies, Love & Romance patterned papers and an embossing folder from the Signature Range by Sara Davies.

I have a jigsaw die that I used on this card from Xcut.

I used it again on this card.  

These are the dies that came with the collection.  This is one of the loveliest heart dies I have come across.

This was a bit of fun which I couldn't resist making.  The embossing is so lovely and sharp in the background.
