Birthday Wishes

 Sorry, I haven't posted in a bit, having some health issues.  My RA seems to have flared up again, making my knees very painful to walk, and when you have that type of pain it's hard to concentrate, so needless to say  I have not been in the mood for much.  Feeling better yesterday and much better today.  It's one of those things where you just never know when a flare up can happen.  You just have to deal with it.  It's been about 4 years since my last flare up. Enough about that, lets get on with the cards.

Today, I have a couple of birthday cards to share, using the same stamps but changed up the colours and design.

All products are from Gina K - A little love kit. Love her kits, they come with stamps, dies, sentiments and stencils - so fun.  I also used a die from Pinkfresh Studio which I used on my first card for the gold foil leaves.

I used the stencil in my Misty to create the backgrounds. Once completed, I then used the rectangle stitch die from  Master Layouts 2 to cut out  a part of the stenciled background, leaving enough to die cut an extra floral and leaves.

I added some gold foiled leaves (die from Pinkfresh Studio) in behind my pop up floral.  Sentiment is also from Gina K - stamped in black versafine.  Added some SSS fine glitter to the centers of the flowers and also some pearls to finish off.

For my second card, basically done the same as the first, except I used some of the leaves that I stenciled on the background for behind the popped up floral.  I used the die cut 'love'' from the "A little hello" stamp kit and then stamped the sentiment below.

Glitter was added as well as pearls to finish off.

These were fun to do, I should of kept on creating with different colours, but I didn't. 

 That's it for me today.  Have a wonderful weekend!

Two mini slimline cards

 Hello  friends! Today I have a couple of cards to share using some Gina K products. 

Both cards are mini-slimline.  Products used on these 2 cards are elements from the Wastercolouring Spring card kit and Master Layouts 7.

My first one, I used some Watercolour Floral Ephemera, the Botanical Duo dies, and  pieces from the Master Layouts 7. I started by sponging some light grey ink through one of the stencils that came with the kit to give a bit on interest on the background.  Paper behind the 'hello friend' is also from Gina K - watercolour floral pack.

The rest is pretty explanatory, so won't bore you with how I put this together. Added some sequins and a little black heart to finish this off.

For my second card, I used the Bodacious Blooms Stencil.  This is a 3 layer floral stencil as well as a plaid stencil, which I used the plaid in the card above. For this card, I just kept it simple. Used the master layout 7 for the slimline die.  For the sentiment I used one of my extra Spellbinders glimmer foil sentiments I had on hand. Finished off with some rhinestones.

That's it for me for today. As always, I appreciate your visits.  Have a wonderful day and keep well!
