Unique Cardmaking ideas - Celebrate in Style: Handmade 'Happy Birthday Lisa' Card

 


Celebrate in Style: Handmade 'Happy Birthday Lisa' Card with Our New Named Card Front Design

January 09, 2025


🌟 Exciting News for 2025: Personalised "Named" Cardmaking Card Fronts Are Here! 🌟


Hello, crafty friends!


If you're one of our lovely Patreon members, you might have caught a sneak peek in early December about something special coming in the New Year. Well, the wait is over, and I’m thrilled to announce that "Named" Cardmaking Card Fronts are launching today! 


There’s nothing quite like giving or receiving a handmade card that feels truly personal. With these named card fronts, you can create cards tailored to specific names, occasions, or even fun themes. Imagine the joy on someone’s face when they see their name beautifully showcased on a card!


We’ve all been there—hunting for the perfect gift with someone’s name on it, only to come up empty-handed. The big companies shy away from personalised products because of the logistical challenges, but guess what? That’s where I come in!


Can you imagine how enormous a kit would need to be to include every name out there? (It would be absolutely massive—lol!) But here’s the beauty of what I’m offering: custom-designed card fronts featuring the name you need, created just for you.


This idea actually started earlier this year when I designed a personalised sheet for Laura’s birthday. It was such a hit with the ladies in my Canada class that I thought, “Why not share this with everyone?”


So, starting today, you can order your very own “Named” Card Fronts. Whether it’s for birthdays, anniversaries, or just-because moments, these custom creations are perfect for adding that extra-special touch to your cards.


I can’t wait to see the gorgeous designs you’ll bring to life with these! Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm—it inspires everything I do.

Here’s to a creative and personalised 2025!

💖 Happy Crafting!

The Card:



The Happy Birthday Lisa download - you can find on the website here: https://shop.obyd.co.uk/b/Mysfk

The sheet was printed at 70% using my printer settings (the sheet is 8x8) so reducing the size to 70% fits my 5x5 card perfectly allowing for some matting and layering onto some gold mirror card before adding to my 300gsm hammered cardblank - you can find these on amazon here: https://amzn.to/4j6IzdU


Once the card front was done and glued to the cardblank i added some handmade flowers and leaves.

I added a touch of sparkle using some stickles

I added a larger handmade flower thats was cut with a die and some smaller punched flowers.

The leaves i added were die cut using my Spellbinders foliage die - you can find it on amazon here: https://amzn.to/428rhXD

I added some ink off a small ink pad onto the petals to give them a touch of colour

I added some Tonic Nuvo drops to the centres of the smaller flowers - you can find the one i use here on amazon - https://amzn.to/40tkJ4V

I added some gems from my stash

I added some sparkle to the topper by highlighting some of the areas using my stickles - you can find the one is use on amazon here: https://amzn.to/3WbYFJu


I hope you love these card fronts as much as I do and that they inspire your crafting in fresh and exciting ways. Whether you’re making one-of-a-kind keepsakes for loved ones or looking to boost sales at your craft fairs, these designs are here to help.

  Let’s Talk About Those Flowers! April 28, 2026 Pretty Carnations Card So Many Questions… Let’s Talk About Those Flowers! 💙🍃 I recently shared a card over on Facebook, and I honestly wasn’t expecting the response it received! I’ve had so many lovely comments, questions, and private messages about how I created the flowers — thank you so much 💙 It has got to the point where it’s just physically impossible to reply to everyone individually, so I thought the easiest (and most helpful!) way would be to put everything together here in a blog post for you.

Flowers have always been a huge part of my life. As a fully qualified florist, I spent many years surrounded by beautiful blooms every single day.
