Pretty Floral Birthday Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? It is wet and windy here today. There is nothing for it but to stay in and craft 🙂. I do have some phoning calls and messages I need to sort out this will be a good opportunity to get this done. There is always so much to do.

Last week I made this card for a lovely family member who we have recently got back in touch with.


The floral paper came from a Nautical paper pad from The Works. This pretty paper was on the back of one of the designs. I just loved the colours. I am trying to make my cards smaller and less bulky so they don't cost so much to send. 


I cut the Happy Birthday with a Creative Expressions die. I usually cut a second colour to make a shadow. I think it helps the sentiment to show up. 


To decorate round the oval for the sentiment I used the Star Flower and the Star Flower Leaves dies from the John Next Door range from Crafts-Too. 


This card went in the post this week. I have a bit of an exciting crafty weekend ahead. On Saturday we are going to the Farnborough Craft show. Now as our family are all close we are going to stay up there on Saturday night. This will give us a chance to pop in and see my parents. On the Sunday I am booked into a bonus workshop arranged by the Art of Craft shop. While I am at the workshop my hubby will visit his parents. 

I hope you enjoy your day whatever you get up to. 

Happy Crafty 

Hugs Jackie
