Hi all,
I have been making DT cards all week for Kraftyhands but unfortunately I can't share these with you yet. I also made a card from a new Cd rom I have but there is no natural light at the moment, so if I take a photograph it will be dark, so I'll save that one for tomorrow.
Instead I thought I would share a card I made for one of my pupil's birthdays. I think the colours are nice and bright to brighten up these dreary days. I used a topper and a backing paper from an old set of CDs - Triple Treasures Volume 2 from Create and Craft. He loves the outdoors and has bikes, scooters, skateboards etc. As part of his present, I bought him some finger skateboards, so I felt this topper was appropriate.

I used an 8x8 white, scalloped card blank to make the easel card. I cut out a shape in white card using the Cricut Lacy Labels cartridge and a smaller shape using a patterned backing paper from the Cd rom. The topper is decoupaged and I cut out some trainers and a cap to embellish the bottom corners of the topper. I cut out some triangles using the Plantin Schoolbook Cricut cartridge and stuck peel offs on each to read '9 Today'. I fixed these to Baker's Twine and placed this along the top of the topper.
For the stopper, I made two rosettes using the same patterned backing paper as I had fixed on the top part of the easel. This I felt coordinated with the plainer blue backing paper that I put on the base of the card. I used my Hougie board to make the rosettes. For the centre of the rosettes, I cut four labels from the Lacy Labels cartridge, two in the plainer blue backing paper and two in the patterned paper. The smaller patterned one was placed on top of the slightly larger plainer one and one was fixed on each rosette. For the sentiment, I did the same but reversed the colours and with peel offs wrote 'Happy Birthday Thomas'.
I also made a coordinating bag for his pressie. I used a white bag from Cupcakecrafting and used the patterned backing paper and topper from the Cd rom. I'm sorry about the photograph, it looks quite dark. I hope he likes them both.
