Bob's Birthday Card 2014

Yeaterday was hubby's birthday.  This is the "simple" card I made for him and he loved it (thank goodness)!!!

I used the Another Great Year Stamp Set on Very Vanilla CS.  I added some Candy Dots from the Brights Collection.  The card front is mounted on Midnight Muse CS.  I used embossing powder and heat set the Happy Birthday to You and sponged around the edges.

Another year, they seem to be flying by!

Tina's Thank You!

My downline had to give up being a Stampin' UP! Demonstrator for now ~ the economy is very hard on all of us and especially those who have teen-agers in their homes.  The good news is, she's still my "customer"!  I still get to share all the Stampin' UP! excitement with her too....

I saw this card on Patty Bennett's site; Patty's Stamping Spot and it really caught my eye.  I added a little bling to mine, but otherwise it's pretty much a straight CASE!  Thanks Patty.

I've had Washi Tape for sometime now and hadn't really used it, other than to wrap around my iPad and iPhone charger cords!!!  LOL!  I used the Oval Framelits to cut the Gingham Garden DSP (one of my favorite sheets out of that group), Gingham Garden Washi Tape along the bottom of the card (so easy to do and then just snip off the ends).  I used the Flower Shop Stamp Set and matching Pansy Punch.  The flowers were stamped with Strawberry Slush Ink.  The Thank You is from Sassy Salutations Stamp set and stamped with Black StazOn Ink.  I used Rhinestones inside one of the flowers and one of the little Brights Candy Dots inside the other.  The inside was computer generated and cut with the Oval Framelits. I also lined the inside of the envelope using Gingham Garden DSP using the Envelope Liners Framelits (love those little guys)! 

Thanks for everything Tina ~ 

Special Fold Card

My sister found this on Tami White's Blog Stamp with Tami video tutorials.  Isn't it cute.  We both made one.  I added the little circle on the front of mine to keep the card closed. 

The cake is from Sketched Birthday Stamp Set and the greeting is from Really Good Greetings Stamp Set.  The base is Pool Party CS and the layering is Pumpkin Pie CS and more Pool Party CS.  the cake is stamped with StazOn Ink and colored with markers and an Aqua Painter.  The printed DSP is from the Quartrefancy Specialty DSP.  The little brads are the new Brights Candy Dots (just the dot, no brad ~ aren't they adorable?).  This was such a fun project and even more special because my sister Judy and I enjoyed it together!
