Birthday criss-cross......

 Yesterday it was both my niece Terri's and my SIL Lisa's birthdays, and today it is the birthday of our friends' youngest daughter Amber, so I've had a marathon, super quick card making session before a trip to Wigan at the weekend! I managed to get Terri & Lisa's card posted on time but was a day late with Amber's. Hopefully she'll receive it tomorrow. I'll show you the other two cards over the next couple of days. Back to Terri's card, I made a C5 criss cross card (using two cards cut on the diagonal and adhered together at the back) I used old papers  from Creative Cardmaking (I managed to find a scrap of teeny polka dot that matched for the shoes), black mirri, a punched border, flowered sheer ribbon and a polka dot Prima bloom.
The insert card is a large tag with a Cuttlebugged white layer which holds the 'Happy Birthday' sentiment. I added a bow to the top, and some punched flowers to the bottom corner. 'TERRI' was cut from polka dot paper and adhered flat across the pocket on a white punched border along with a couple of teeny punched flowers .
Carts used:
Shoes & shaped front panel- Forever Young
Tag & 'TERRI' - Winter Woodland
Ovals- George
Happy Birthday- Phrases
Thanks for dropping by today!
