September is a busy month around here: DS’ birthday, our anniversary, DH’s birthday and our friend’s birthday and they all fall within the space of two weeks.
We received a lovely handmade anniversary card from our dear friends, Paul & Hazel. Having just discovered the delights of owning a cuttlebug & big shot they are both coming up with some amazing creations (see previous post for DS’ birthday card).
Isn’t this a stunning card – made by Hazel (Thank you!)DH celebrated his birthday yesterday. We got him up early so that he could open his presents and cards before he went to work. In the evening we cooked him a lovely meal which was followed by drinks with the neighbours.
DH is a difficult so & so to make a card for let alone two! As we are a cat mad house I decided to make him a cat themed card from me; and as DH is a Top Gear fan (like most men of a “certain age”) I decided to use a car theme for the card from DS.
The results:
I stuck strips of paper (alternating the colours) on a cat face shape that I had previously drawn & cut. I then embossed it with my Tiny Bubbles Cuttlebug folder. The nose is a heart shaped gem, the whiskers are gold peel-offs and the ears are cut from pink pearly paper. I drew the eyes and mouth (which was a bit of a challenge as the surface was uneven due to the embossing!!).

We love the cat card you did for Mark brilliant. Intrigued as to the components used, the cat face shape and the card used?
