Happy Birthday

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I started by cutting Sue Wilson's Classic Weaving Die out of Coconut White Card and ran it through the Spellbinders Platinum Machine. I cut Sue's Striped Weaving Die out of Aqua Card and out of Custard Card. I glued the Custard die cut, just at the ends, to the Aqua one, setting it to fill in the gaps. I split the striped piece into strips 4 wide - 1 aqua, 2 custard, 1 aqua. I wove these through the Classic die cut.


I made a frame out of Custard and Aqua Card using Sue's Ornate Pierced Squares Die Set. I added it to my woven background using 3D Foam and trimmed away the excess using scissors.

 I cut die #4 from Sue's Madeleine Die Set out of Custard Card. I cut dies #3 and #4 from the same set out of Aqua Card and glued the 2 die cuts together. I cut the Justrite Happy Birthday Sentiment Die out of Coconut White Card.

I cut Sue's Daisy Cluster Die Set out Coconut White and Custard Card. The centres are cut from Aqua Card using a die from Sue's Exquisiste Poppy Die Set.

I completed my card, adding some mats of all the colours of card used and some 8mm White Pearls.

The winner of the card from Freebie Friday on 3rd February is ....................

  25. Good afternoon Julia,,
    I know that you have made this into a birthday card flower but those colours and the design would make a beautiful baby card, as the wicker work of the background could be the baby;s crib or moses basket, the frame around the top, the edging of it. A bonnie card Julia and i think i might finally drag out these dies and have a go. Thank you flower for a bonnie card that just inspires,
    love and crafty
