Luggage shaped card

This card was for a person who liked going on holiday, watching T.V. and drinking Whisky. I cut the luggage shape out onto white card and then stuck a brown envelope over the top and cut around it. The buckles are brown card and white paper coloured in silver. I have added some detail with travel stickers to give the effect that the luggage has been taken to different countires.The luggage labels are stickers also. The handbag is an old gift tag stuck on with sticky pads to make it stand out. I put the recipitents initals on one of the pieces of luggage and drew two whisky lids in the top of the handbag.

Lava Lamp Shaped Card

If you want something different this is the card for you ! I cut out the card in the shape of a Lava Lamp and then covered it in blue cellophane. For the bubbles I used spotty paper some two layers others three layers high with sticky pads in between. I then stuck pink wrappers(from quality streets) over the top. For the base I used foil.

3d cup in a box

My grandad always says we shouldn't buy him presents. I know he always likes it when we make him something.  This 3d cup was made from a template on patterend paper and glued together. I used the same pattern to make the tag for the teabag just like a teabag you can buy. I used a pyramid Teabag and sewed some thread through the corner of the teabag and attached it to the tag. The birthday message has been written on the teabag tag(very small !). The box is made from black card and stuck together with double sided sellotape.

Iris folding balloon card for girl/boy

Using different coloured papers can then make the card for a male or female. These two cards use the same balloon template and iris folding template. I added red ribbon to both to make it more life like. I used glue to stick the ribbon on.

Iris folding star

This card is simple but effective. I used black card and cut out a star. I decided to use three different papers for the iris folding.

Pink Elephant Card

The person who I made this card for has a particular fondness for elephant. To create a card using a shape on the front you devide the shape in half either side of the back of the card. In this case The front half of the elephant was on the left hand side of the card then the back of the card and on the right hand side of the card was the back of the elephant. To close the card I a interlinking diamond. I punched different shades of pink butterflies out and stuck them onto the elephant with glue.

Poorly Oswold Card

My friend had hurt his foot , was on cruches and likes Owls. So I decided to use this theme to make his birthday card. I used brown wrapping paper as the background sticking to a pre cut card with glue. I stuck an owl gift tag to the background with sticky pads. For the cruches I painted two match stickes white and painted over one of the Owls feet white I attached the match sticks with thin strips of double sided sellotape. I then stuck a happy birthday sentiment and drew around the edge of the card in silver pen.
