Sunrise candle card

Recently it was my sister’s birthday and I had already paid for her to go to Burghley Horse Trials in the Summer and wanted her to have a “nice card” to go with the small gift I had got her to open on the day.

 

I had seen the sunburst/sunrise cards everywhere on the net and have been raring to try making one myself. So I decided I would and also incorporate it into a candle box to house some lovely smelling candles I had for her.

 

I embossed the pieces of card using the hexagon, fancy fan, woodgrain and beautifully baroque embossing folder.

 

The sentiment is from the label love punched out using the artisan label punch.

 

I was quite pleased for a first attempt.

Why not try a masculine card? - Walk in the wild

 

It was my Brother in laws birthday recently and he fancies himself as a country gent and indulges in the love of country pursuits. I have known since the launch of the new catalogue what stamp set I was going to use and it just had to be the walk in the wild set with the pheasant image.

I embossed the card stock with the woodgrain embossing folder and cut out using the die from the apothecary set a hole which I then layered over the top of a piece of very vanilla cardstock with the pheasant stamped in crumb cake on.

I then used a piece of the burlap ribbon again which suits this card perfectly, the only thing I would have done differently was to do it earlier so my pressed clay buttons would have dried in time, still there is always next time!
