My Husband's birthday was last Thursday........I thought I'd show you the card I made for him , which I gave to him today. Yes, I know a couple days late........I did tell him it would be worth the wait! There has been a lot going on this week , I really struggled to find the time to do any craft.
It didn't quite turn out the way I wanted........I ended up just putting the presents , balloons etc where ever I could fit them. Anyway I thought I'd show you what I did to save my self a heap of time!
This is the inside, with a Happy Birthday pop up. The space at the bottom is where I wrote.
I originally got the idea for this card from Thienly at
"Mod Papier" . The card base and popup are a SVG file which I cut out using "Sure cuts a lot". All the decorations are from Sweet Treats and a couple from Celebrations.
Now this is what I did to save a heap of time...........I had all the images I wanted to use on my Gypsy, I cut them on white card stock , left them on the mat and coloured them with copic markers. The card was quite thick so the colour did not bleed through onto my mat. I pieced all the layers together added some glitter, I was done in know time. I don't think you would ever know that it wasn't coloured card unless I told you!
I wouldn't do this for large cuts, I think I'd use to much ink , but for small areas it worked great!
Enjoy your weekend
