Birthday Present Shaped Card - Male

Do you may remember a few weeks ago I posted a GIRLIE Happy Birthday Present shaped card? I thought I would make a similar one for those "oh so difficult men"!

It was very hard not to dress it up with ribbon but I am pleased how it came out. As I have designed it in my CDS all I need to do is change the paper which I have in my papercraft supply.

The cartridges I used were Joys of the Season for the present and George for the star. The paper I have used is by Three Bugs in a Rug - Snips and Snails and Brown Kraft card by Woodware. All supplies are available from my local papercraft shop, Flutterby Crafts.

I have not entered this card for any ongoing challenges but just thought it would be fun to make.....it was!

Birthday Present Shaped Card - Girl

I made this card for Pauline who is a fellow crafting friend whom I met up with last night. We had a great evening together celebrating her birthday with the girlies!

I made the base of this card with Brown Kraft card by Woodware. I am in LOVE with this card but rather disappointed that it only comes in A4 size and not 12" by 12". I cut the present shape in my Cricut Design Studio and layered it with Three Bugs in a Rug paper called Home Grown. I computer generated the greeting using Microsoft Word for the personal touch. The cartridges used were Joys of the Season and Plantin Schoolbook. I decorated the present with this gorgeous pink ribbon which I am also in LOVE with and need more! I added a pink button on top of the flower cut out on my Cricut, a slither of the Brown Kraft card though the button hole, some pearls and detail with my white pen.

This was so fun to make and can easily be repeated in different coloured paper for a masculine card.
