Happy 65 Birthday

Firstly sorry for the bad photo, I just could not get the light right

This is another 65 year old birthday card

This time for my kids to give

The numbers where cut on the ecraft and the words done using the hot foil machine

Inside the verse says

'Please note the 64yr old model has now be discontinued!'

Again another quite simple card but at least I back to making some!

Offically Aged to Perfection!

This card is to celebrate a very good friends 65th birthday

He has become like a father since my own dad died  a few years ago

The OAP was cut on my ecraft machine with the shadow to make the letters stand out

The 'Officially Aged to Perfection!' was printed using my brother laser printer

Then foiled with silver foil using my Letraset hot foil machine

Finally the card was finished with some gems

I think it turned out simple but effective

This card is for the following challenge:

Happy 1st Anniversary

Oh it as been too long since I last blogged

no real reason why just life has been busy so crafting has taken back seat

I am currently house sitting for our friends who are away on cruise, so hoping I can make a few cards!

This is a card I made for my sister and brother-in-laws 1st wedding anniversary

I used the same image I used on all their wedding stationary

They are coloured using promarkers

The papers are actually the inserts from a birthday card I received a few years ago

I used my Letraset Hot Foil machine to silver the sentiment and the edge of heart

Sorry it doesn't show up well on the photo

This card is for the following challenges:
