Special Birthday

Jillian Selwood Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

It was my Dad's 80th Birthday last month and we had quite a few celebrations for him to mark this milestone.

I wanted to make a card that was just a little bit special and something he hadn't seen before so after looking on You Tube for inspiration I finally found the perfect card to make. Many thanks to my wonderful friend Sacha van de Kerkhof for the fabulous tutorial which you can find here. 

The thing I really love about the card is that fact that it looks quite plain and understated on the front. 

But when you open it up it really has the wow factor.

Not quite sure why but my Dad likes frogs! Apologies I forgot to photograph the card before I wrote it so I had to smudge my writing.

The card looks really complicated but was relatively easy to put together. Because of the thickness of the card I needed to make a special envelope for it, see photo below. I also made boxes for the two presents I bought Dad and decorated them in the same way.

Business card holders for N&G Bookkeeping and Accountancy Services

The lovely Nicole Middleton visited my stall at the Cuerden Valley Park Farmers and Craft market recently and asked if I would be able to make her some business card holders, her business cards are slightly bigger than mine so I needed to change the dimensions slightly. We talked about the design I could use and decided it would be better to use the company logo as the background. I offered to make a sample holder for her to see if she liked it.

Fortunately she did like it and also asked if I would be able to make some holders to display her leaflets. I adapted the business card holder and was really pleased with them.

This photo shows the card and leaflet holders, don't they look brilliant?

The original business card holder was CASE'd from Ann Melvin, please visit Ann's website for full directions,
