Elegant Birthday Card

Elegant Birthday Card because your 98 today!

Made this card for a co-worker to give to her friend who was turning 98 years old! It's amazing how time just goes by so quickly. I was inspired to make this card by Joan Fricker of Joan's Garden. She had made this card at one of her workshops posted it on her site and I just loved it! Thank you Joan! I used the new Marianne Die and embosser, the new exquisite circles and lavender liquid pearls. I used a glitter paper in the background and glittered corner die from Cheery-Lyn Designs. The flower was Spellbinders Spiral Blossom One. Thanks for taking a peek at my card.

This is a card I made for my friend Marybeth's son Jordan. He is an avid hockey player. I used my Cricut (Sports Mania) to cut the hockey player and scanned Jordan's team from a tee-shirt his mom supplied to me. Hope you enjoy this very special  card and Happy Birthday Jordan! I still can't believe you're thirty!

WORLD CARD MAKING DAY CHALLENGE

World Card Making Day Challenge

October 6, 2012

Another Thanksgiving Day card I made today to enter into the World Card Making Day Challenge. I made the flowers using my Spellbinders Itty Bitty Blossoms and made the third flower using a paper bag and placed a bitty flower in the center. The leaves are from Cuttlebug and I use my new Spellbinders MATT A&B. I just love those mats! The sentiment is from Stampin Up Teenie Tiny Wishes. I used a laced gold ribbon under the flowers. It's hard to see but I ran the background paper through my crimper to add more texture.  Thanks for looking and I sure would appreciate your vote.

We are so blessed!

Two Hearts Birthday Card (monochromatic)

 I just received my new Spellbinders Matt A and B and Ribbon Threader die.  This was my first project using them. I just love them!!

I did 6 layers but what is so neat is that you can cut within your cut so I only used the initial paper that was 4” by 5 1/4. My embellishment was the Cherry-Lyn-Design die Two of Hearts. I used that same light lavender paper for the sentiment and hearts but embossed them with Star Dust Transparent embossing powder by Stampendous.  The sentiment is by PaperTrey Inks clear stamps.Thanks for taking a peek at my card.
