The Birthday Boys

Yesterday, 14th May, was my hubby's birthday and also my Grandson Leon was 2 (where has that time gone?) I showed you Leon's card a couple of post's back. Here is hubby's card. The background and writing were all done in CAP. I also too the image from a Forever Friends CD but didn't like it so I had one from 'The Goodlife' Topper pack.

Here is a picture of  Leon opening one of his many cards!

Using my Nice & Easel decoupage sheets

 Still on the theme of using some of my craft stash , here are some cards that I have made with the La Pashe 'Nice & Easel ' sheets.

The first 2 pictures have been made into easel cards. Just added ribbon and gems to them. They will go towards my stock for the craft fair in a couple of weeks. These easel cards come complete with a decorated box.

I then got fed up of making easel cards so just made some ordinary cards . Added gems and ribbon from my stash. All backing card is Bazzill and the greetings come from Craftwork cards.

Using up my stash

I have been trying to use up some of the kits I have purchased over the years and here is the first lot of cards that I have made using the Kanban Couture Ladies Toppers. A kit I bought years ago from QVC.

For all the cards I have used mirri card to back the beautiful toppers. Some of the card bases have been made using Kanban foiled card. Some of the greetings are from the kit or craftwork cards. Have added some gems and ribbon to a couple of them.

These cards will go towards my stock for my craft table at the spring fair I am doing later this month.
