Gerbera Daisy Birthday Cards

Good morning friends

Today's Throwback Thursday cards were made to donate to Seniors Secret Service.

Each folded card is 6 x 4" made with this bright and cheery patterned paper.

I added a 3-d sticker and die cut, stamped label to the front of each of the 5 cards ....

... and lined the inside with white card stock to tone down the bright stripes.

Supplies used:
Card size - 4 x 6"
Patterned paper and 3-d stickers - K& Co
Label die - Spellbinders
Happy Birthday on the front - Fiskars
Inside words - Papertrey Ink

Thanks for stopping by today!

I've decided to start a 'Throwback Thursday' section to my blog ... as I seem to have more and more older cards sitting in the To Post File. Today's Throwback Thursday card is an Oval Accordion I made to demo at Paper Pastimes in Calgary last winter.

The Tulip Peel-Off's were adhered to water colour paper, and coloured with water colour pencils and a wet brush. Then they were fussy cut so I could pop them up on the oval panels with foam tape.

These Flourished Frame Edges are SO pretty! If you adhere double sided adhesive to white card stock before die cutting, they are easier to adhere then trying to get glue on all the little flourishes.
