#card-making

bonus shot of all the kids together!

Over the next few posts, I thought I’d put up a couple of things I’ve done over the last year, that I had fun with :)

This was a birthday card for my brother, who is very good at pool (and is now super old hahaha!).

I had a scrap of green felt leftover from covering a pool table light for a friend and it was very thin, so it gave me the idea for this.

I wanted a pop-up pool table, so I used very thin card and decorated it with paper scraps and the felt. I used a new tool I was trying, which I don’t know the name of, but it heats foil and transfers it into your chosen surface. It made nice little metallic details.

The balls are baked sculpey painted with nail polish (that seems to be my go-to lately), and the pool cues were wooden skewers that I cut short and painted. They can actually come off, I have a tiny scrap of Velcro glued to them.

Anyway, I was pretty happy with the result :)

these are thank-you cards i'm going to give to the staff of the hot drinks stall when i graduate this year; they're a bit smaller than my normal birthday cards and single-sided.
