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.

 

 

Daughter's Birthday Card

Here's the card I created for my Daughter's birthday this year.  She's a Pittsburgh Steeler Fan so always have to do something in black/yellow ~ I gave it to her last Thursday since she was going to be gone today for her real birthday and she loved it!

 

I used Hello Honey CS and ink.  Also Basic Black CS.  The flower is from Beautiful Bunch Stamp Set and punched with the coordinating punch (makes it so easy!).  The Happy Birthday is from Sassy Salutations Stamp Set and heat embossed using clear embossing powder.  Oval Framelits to cut the sentiment.  The striped paper is from the Moonlight DSP Pack.  I also put a little strip of black ribbon across the DSP to clean up the edge (Basic Black 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon).  The inside sentiment is computer generated.

 

Another Grad Card

My Nephew is graduating High School this week.  I made a card for him with Cindee Wilikinson's idea from her post that she got from Dawn O (same as the one I did for my Grandson, except different colors! 

 

 

Seems like these boys are growing up way too fast!  should be starting First Grade, not graduating from High School!!!

 

I used Cherry Cobbler CS and More Mustard (retired) CS for this one.  I colored the gold Gold Bakers Twine with my new Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities.  Also colored the little silver brad on top of the graduation cap with Daffodil Delight Blendabilities, so awesome!

 

 

 

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 ~
