Birthday Card for Sis'

I created a Birthday card for my little sister using a card I got from my BFF Tina as an idea starting point.  (Thanks Tina)

 

The stamp set I used was Perfect Pennants stamped in Black and then stamped again in Strawberry Slush and the "a" cut out with the 1/2" circle punch.  The front was embossed with a retired embossing folder (sorry)!  I used Candy Dots on the centers of the flowers and one on the inside.  I lined the emvelope with Sweet Taffy DSP cut with the Envelope Liner Framelits.  I used the Oval Framelits to cut the front and the inside sentiment and border.

 

 

Make-a-Wish

My Daughter found a card at her local boutique that was created by Julie at Stamp Your Dream Designs.  This is my CASE using a little different CS/Stamps.

 

I used Blackberry Bliss for the Base.  The DSP is from the Sweet Taffy DSP.  I used the Banners Framelits.  Make a Wish is from Perfect Pennants Stamp Set.  Happy Birthday sentiment is from Playful Pennants Stamp Set.  The flowers are from Petite Petals and punched with the coordinating punch.  The inside of the card is Daffodil Delight.  I used the Candy Dots inside the little flowers.  Rounded the edges with the Envelope Maker.   Thanks for a great sample Julie, love your work!



Cordlan's Graduation Card

My husband's Grandson will be graduating High School ~ here's the card I made for him.  The idea came from Cindee Wilkinsons's Just Sponge It!  She CASED it from Dawn O's site.  So glad they both "share" what they love!

Dawn O has a video.  The Perfect Pennants Die makes it easy to create the grad gown.  Cordlan's HS colors are Black/Red.  The inside is computer generated.  The scallop circle on the back has my OWN created stamp showing my blog information.  The inside of the envelope is lined with Silver Fancy Foil Designer Vellum.

Grandson Birthday Card

I made a Birthday Card for my step-Grandson.  Hope he likes it?  I saw a barrell made with the Hardwood Stamp, thought I'd try and create one.  Couldn't find it again to CASE!

I used Soft Suede CS for the base and Baja Breeze run through the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  The Hardwood Stamp Set on Crumb Cake for the barrel.  The flowers were punched with the Petite Petals Punch and I stamped some of the flowers using the matching Petite Petals Stamp Set.  I also punched some using Watercolor Wonder DSP along with some other scraps of floral DSP I found in my drawer. A little sponging and some Candy Dots for the centers.  I used the Envelope Liner Framelit to cut some of the Watercolor Wonder DSP for the inside flap of the envelope.

Perfect Life

I found this on Diane Roberts site, Score at Four and a Quarter and just loved it!  Of course I'm a kitty lover anyway, but who wouldn't love to get this card?

I used the Googlie Eyes instead of punching from the owl punch like Diane did, otherwise pretty much a straight CASE!  Crumb Cake CS, Bakers Twine, Candy Dots.  Ran the kitties through embossing folders and they were created with the Banners Framelit Dies.  The stamp is from the Feel Goods Stamp Set.  I sponged the edges with Early Espresso Ink.

JoAnna's Thank You Card

My daughter's good friend JoAnna made cupcakes for me for my Birthday ~ beginning of this month...sorry no pic', I already ate 'em all!  Anyway, this is the thank you card (folder) I created for her to thank her for all her sweetness!  I cased the idea from Patty Bennett, she has a tutorial on her blog, check it out ~ so cool to use the new Envelope Maker in other ways than making envelopes! 

 

I love making the envelope inserts with the Framelits Envelope Liners, makes the whole thing really come together, don't you think?  I used Gumball Green for the base and Cherry Cobbler for the inside under my computer generated thank you note stamped on Very Vanilla CS and punched out with Deco Labels Framelits.  The front of the card and the envelope liner are from Season of Style DSP pack.  Thanks so much on the front is in the Simply Sketched Stamp Set.  Cut out with Circle Framelits with Candy Dots as embellishments.  I used my Word Window Punch to punch out the label for the little file folder.   The ribbon is Stitched Satin  in Gumball Green. 

Thanks again JoAnna, you made my Birthday EXTRA SPECIAL!
