Nesta's 60th Birthday. . . . . . . . . . .


Good morning all you lovely folk. Hope you are all well. Ita, great to read that you are out of hospital. Hope that you will feel better for being at home.

Its been a busy few days at The Pond. Did some extra hours at work last week as the owner was in for a visit, then out for the day with Nesta on Friday for her 60th, then mine and Mr D's wedding anniversary on Saturday. . . . . . . .its all go!!!
By the way, Gail hope you and hubby had a wonderful day on Saturday celebrating your anniversary too.

As for Pokeytoolgate, I did say to Mr Duck "Would you kindly refrain from putting your cotton buds in my bin". . . . . . . . Well, I forget the exact conversation but I think it was something similar lol! I suppose I should be grateful he hadn't been using my pokey tool to clean his ears. One thing did surprise me, for someone with apparently clean ears, he never hears me (unless its "Do you want some pudding? or "whose is that £5 note?")

Now, I must apologise for the very picture heavy post as its Nesta's card and box in various poses (just be grateful that I've saved the gift bag for another day lol!)


Yes, I was sad enough that pattern on the box lined up with the pattern on the card below.


The card packs flat into the box but then is 3D when standing. . . . . .its about 7"x 7"


The centre portion is suspended with jewellery illusion line and has the same "60" panel on all three sides.


Ingredients
White card
The Striplet
SB Fancy Tags Three
SB Classic Ovals
Sissix Square dies
X Cut Circle die
Card-io Rose stamps
Docrafts Number and sentiment stamps
Inkylicious sentiment stamp
Distress Inks
White embossing powder
Sanctuary Beads satin ribbons
Pink bling
Acetate (for lid of box)
Illusion cord


                                                         The inside base of the box.

Once again, apologies for all the pictures. Nesta loved it and I must admit, I was pleased with the way it turned out. 
Nesta has also asked me to thank you all for your kind birthday wishes. The gal may be 60 but she only looks 40. . . . .its sickening lol!!! Wish I could show a snap but she still wants to be anonymous (to protect the innocent).

Next post will be the matching gift bag housing 60 packets of chocolate buttons!!!

Til then, be good.

  4. Morning Ang,
    Fabulous card and box, all that cutting with the striplet and matching it up, must have taken an age. Can fully understand that Nesta loved it, anybody would. Congratulations on your wedding anniversary.

  8. Stunning card Mrs Duck! I love how you have made it 3D by lining up all the die cuts so beautifully. Great box too, and 60 packets of something nice to eat would be my idea of birthday heaven. Happy Birthday to Nesta, and Congrats on the Wedding Anniversaries too.

  9. Hi Ang, what a stunning card for Nesta, the design is fabulous and such pretty paper too. Love the design too, no wonder Nesta loves it. Alistair is deaf too when he's getting checked for something he aught not to have done, or when asked to do something around the house, it's a man thing, have a good day, hugs Kate x
