Lattice and Gerbera Birthday card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? We have another busy day today it is our 37th Wedding Anniversary. The plan is to head into Southampton to have coffee. Then we will visit the Da Vinci Exhibition in the Art Gallery. After that we will go to a small independent Italian restaurant for lunch. The final part of our plan is to attend the matinee performance of a Comedy About a Bank Robbery, it is written by the same team that had success with A Play that Goes Wrong. If it all works it should be a good day.

I have been playing with dies from the John Next Door range again. Here is a birthday card I made last week.

I do like going back to use my older dies to try and make the most of my stash. I created the background by cutting the corner lattice die, from the Sandwich Box die collection  straight into the patterned paper. I feel this gives a very neat finish.  


The flowers were cut from patterned paper with the Gerbera flowers did I just love that you can cut so many flowers in one pass. The leaves are the Gerbera leaves. 


I used the small butterfly dies to make the butterflies. 


The Happy Birthday was added with a Crafter's Companion die. I do love it when the dot above the i is attached. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Enjoy the rest of the week. 

Happy Crafting

Hugs Jackie

Beautiful card, Jackie.
Hope you have lots of fun in Southampton. We were there last year for a cruise. We had stayed with Sue Tossell is Hadley and then they drove us to Southampton where we had lunch at an old building that had been remade into a brewing pub type place. It was so lovely and looked out over the water. We would like to go back and stay in Southampton for a couple of days to see more!
