50th birthday card set

Hello and happy Wednesday! I recently created a set of 50th birthday cards. This is what I ended up creating:

Both of them are for a woman, but she is not a girly, pink, flower girl. Thus the more “cool” designs. On this card I´ve used Dani Peuss papers on the background and some older chipboard and stickers from my stash. Plus some spray ink in black and a black gel pen.

Like the first one, the second is also a slimline format card:

For this one I used a Rubber Dance stencil (Leaves 2) with Distress Oxide Inks in various blue shades. I also added two types of American Crafts alpha stickers (foam and vinyl). I also used some black and golden pigment droplets as well as a piece of twine and a some chipboard stars and a stamped Stampin´ Up! sentiment. Stamped with a blue VersaFine Clair stamp ink.

Inside one of the cards I created a pocket for a gift card. The other one is without one. These were fun to make! I hope the recipient will also appreciate them ;-).

Happy crafting,
xx, Sanna

Vintage Retirement card

Hello and happy Thursday! I want to share a retirement card that I created a few weeks back with you today.

I used plenty of older product for this card. It´s bigger in size – 14×21 cm´s – and is kept in vintage style to match the recipients age. On the background I used a Stampin´ Up! background woodgrain stamp and Hero Arts inks. On top of that I added some border stickers and Wycinanka chipboards. The tags were inked with Distress Ink (old paper) and the script stamp images are stamped with various grey tones (Hero Arts).

On top of the tags I have a few buttons and a Tim Holtz paper doll as added decor. The banner sentiment is stamped with another Stampin´ Up! stamp.

I really liked creating this vintage-style card. It´s plenty of layer on top of each other, but still everything is very “flat”. I like layers, but I also like keeping them flat for easy mailing.

Wishing you a lovely evening! Weekend is almost here :)!! Yay!
