Happy 50th Birthday Sister with Kennyk's Chef Digi

Happy 50th Birthday Sister with Kennyk's Chef Digi

I needed a birthday card for a lovely Lady Chef who was turning 50 and this

Kennyk Chef image was just perfect.

I didn't have anything that was suitable as a backing for this card, so I made my own tile effect

and I didn't want it to be just black and white so I added the little bit of red to pep it up

and because I love all things red.

It's just a series of squares turned 45 degrees and copied numerous times -

I hope it makes it look sort of kitchen tile-ish.

I popped in lots of little recipe cards along the top ribbon for effect.

21st Birthday Card with KennyK's, Boogie Down Digi and Spellbinders Dies

Yes, I'll admit it, I'm addicted to these digi'sfrom KennyK and I love bold bright colours.

The spec for this card was for a girl with bright red (Ginger) hair who loves music and goth colours,

so I went with red and black as those are two of my favourite colours too.

I've had this little digi for a while now, so she's long overdue an airing.

Mother's Day with Spellbinders Botanical Swirls & Floral Ovals

Mother's Day Card with Spellbinders Botanical Swirls & Floral Ovals

Well I've had another go with this badboy die - Botanical swirls by Spellbinder.

I think I've now got cutting with this die down to a T, and in general the

embossing ends up in the right place.

Still don't like the fact that it doesn't cut out any of the edges,

 leaving you to do all that with a craft knife, but the end result is quite stunning.

This time, I've cut it out twice but used only part of the second cut on this card.

This card measures 19cm x 18cm

Wedding Day with KennyK's Wedding Dance Digi and Spellbinders

Wedding Day with KennyK's Wedding Dance Digi and Spellbinders

Another Wedding congratulations card to day using another terrific digi stamp from kennykdownloads.com.

Spec for this card was just "Fun" and I think this stamp suits it perfectly.

I used the Spellbinders Botanical Swirls, which I have to admit is being sent to the BadBoy drawer.

First time I've had difficulty die cutting was with this die, it took 3 runs through the Grand Calibur and then it moved slightly when embossing.

In all, I had to cut it three times, taping it down really well to get the embossing in the right place.

It only cuts out the centre portion of the die and you have to use a craft knife to cut away the edges, so I'm not impressed with this die at all.

I admit if I'd known this before purchase I wouldn't have bought this die.

I then used a craft knife to cut it into two sections.

Sorry, the pearl card I've used, is beautiful in life but doesn't photograph well.
