Happy Birthday to You - Card Patterns

Here is my card for the latest sketch at Card Patterns:

Here is the sketch:

I have used:

• a white A5 card and envelope
• two papers from a Spring Stack from a few years ago
• a piece of blue card stock, stamped with "Happy Birthday to you" in aquamarine ink
• three buttons, tied with embroidery floss and attached to the card with pop dots

The card and envelope are from House of Paper, the papers and card stock from DCWV, alphabet stamps from PSX, buttons from Jo-Ann Craft Essentials and the ink from Vivid!

This card is actually for my Dad for his birthday coming up, but I will most likely make another one for sale in my Etsy shop: JemLou Productions, although the buttons will be different!

Thanks for looking! :)

Reindeer Card - Cupcake 64

Here is my card for this week's Cupcake Craft Challenge:

Cute isn't it!!??
The challenge is buttons and bows.

I hand drew the reindeer face, eyes and nose with glittery Spica pens, then adhered the antlers (also hand drawn). I made the ribbon into a bow, then attached the button to the bow with embroidery floss. The bow is attached to the card with a pop dot.

I have used:

• a kraft card and envelope
• some Spica pens: lipstick and pitch black
• some card stock drawn in the shape of antlers and inked on the edges with black ink
• ribbon
• button
• embroidery floss
• puffy merry christmas sticker

 Attached to the back of the envelope is a merry christmas ribbon.

The kraft card and envelope are from fundamentals, the card stock from die cuts with a view, the ink from Vivid, the ribbon from American Crafts, the white button and merry christmas sticker from JoAnn Craft Essentials and the embroidery floss is from an old cross stitch project!

This card is for sale in my Etsy shop: JemLou Productions. Here is the link to the listing.
