butterfly thinlits, feminine birthday card

Hi!

I wanted to show you the card I made for my Mum’s 70th birthday. 

  
I picked some card stock and matching pretty paper for the base.  I added a paper doily and a punched white circle in the centre, then added a die cut butterfly.  Then added extra detail with stick on pearls. 

   
 
I was very happy with how it turned out, and the birthday girl seemed to like it!

Thanks for reading đŸ™‚

buterfly thinlits, embellishing envelopes

Hi.  

On the weekend I made a card for a friend with a matching home made envelope.   I happened to have a die cut butterfly lying around (as you do!!) – which matched perfectly. 

  
Too cute! đŸ™‚

Thanks for reading

Quick and easy masculine card

masculine cards, quick cards

Hi

I had to make a card for a male friend’s 40th birthday on the weekend.  And, in classic Caro style, I literally had 5 minutes to do it! 

  
Cutting card stock to 26 X 13cm makes a square card that fits Stampin’ Up! Square envelopes, and a 12.5 X 12.5 cm bit of paper made the card rest of the card.  Happy Birthday was stamped with the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set, and punched with the word window and modern label punches.  The card stock was Island Indigo. 

Go to woah in 5 minutes – gotta be happy with that!
