Another A4 Card. This one was done really rushed, my dad wanted it for my mum for her 70th today, but only gave me 2 hours notice, so sorry there isn't a proper pic of the finished card.
Made from an idea seen recently at an exhibition. It folds flat for posting and stands upright with the help of a small "lip" at the front. I have added a GSD file (hopefully).

Reason: Adding GSD file
I made this card in DM for my son's MIL. I wanted something a bit bigger and a bit special for her. The card is cut in two pieces and joined in the middle. I cut it in concept 160 card and have lined it with a contrasting colour. I have lined the borders in the same way. The ribbon slots are cut on the lining as well as this makes it a bit more substantial to thread the ribbon through.
This centre oval could be easily adapted to whatever is required.
The file has been converted to a GSD using the PDF method and I have had to zip it because it's too big.
Cut and Assembled By Jan ( Janico) and a wonderful job too I have to say.
This can be used for either Birthday Or Anniversary Both framed words are included within the template.
You can fold bits back add ribbon to the mats well you could do allsorts
Did this for my DD to give to a friend. I wasn't given much notice so, as you can see, it is very simply done in DM, but quite effective.
Converted to GSD via the PDF method and I have put it through Brian's converter. I don't know why my converted GSD files are so big - I've had to zip this one again!
I couldn't find one like this, so I made this one. I hope some one else can use it too.
words are Goudy Stout, free from searchfreefonts.com and the number used is Balloon BXdBT free from 911fonts.com
I have also done an inner for it, the inner cutting lines are green

Reason: more info
Made a 60th birthday topper for a card and thought I would post it in case it is useful to anyone else. The file also contains the happy birthday words. Font is Black Rose.

My CR seems to have taken over my life!...... Well, until our new grandchild arrives in December!
Card: 20 on Platform (my first proper shared template)
Well, I decided to be brave & share my first proper template made from scratch.
I needed a 20 card for my niece & didn't see one in the templates, so decided to have a go.
It's nothing earth shattering - but I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.
Thanks go to Lucille for the tutorial on welding in RM5.1 as the middle of my numbers kept disappearing; and I'd especially like to thank Chrissie (Rugersmum) for the video on her website as I've discovered I'm definitely a "visual" learner & the tracing video on her website was the main thing that finally made the light bulb in my brain switch on!! (I'm looking forward to seeing more Chrissie!!!)

Made this for DS who will reach the dreaded 40 next month. Very simply done in DM - the font is Challenge Bold. Those who saw this in my gallery will be pleased to see I have removed the bow as I know he definitely would not appreciate it, but left the grosgrain ribbon (just can't help myself!). I did allow myself to do a bit of cuttlebugging, but only the swiss dots.
