Judy's Birthday Card

Here's the card I made for my Sister Judy for her Birthday ~ she liked it!  Hope you do too??

Sympathy Card

I recently sent this card to my Sister and BIL who lost their sweet FIL.  I used the Fabulous Florets Stamp Set and colored with pencils and the Blender Pen.  You can't really tell from the picture but the base card is Poppy Parade CS and the Scallop Trim Border punched edge is Pumpkin Pie CS.  The background paper is Baja Breeze CS and I ran that through the Flower Garden Embossing Folder and sponged with Early Espresso.  The little butterfly is from the Clearly For You Stamp Set using Baja Breeze Ink Pad and punched out with the Small Oval Punch.

Perk Up!

Another card-lift from Laurie Zoellmer, I love her ideas!  Thanks for sharing Laurie.  Here's my version:

I used Take a Sip Wheel and Morning Cup Stamp Set for the perk up! and single coffee cup.  The card base is Poppy Parade CS and the backing paper is More Mustard run through the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  I used Poppy Parade Stampin' Write Marker to add color to the flowers on the cup and the heart.  I used the Scallop Trim Border for the strip of Poppy Parade CS behind the line of cups.  I also punched a Scallop Circle out of the Poppy Parade CS and mounted the single cup and perk up! punched from 1-3/8" circle punch with diminsenionals.  I sponged around the circles and other design done with the wheel in Soft Suede Ink.  Doesn't this remind you of the old Harvest Gold and other retro colors from the 60's??  (Any of you old enough to have lived in that era!!) tee!hee!

Theresa's Birthday Card

Here's the card I made for Bob's new-found daughter.  It's the first Birthday card she's ever received from her Dad ~ after 53 years!  Hope she likes it?

I used the cupcake from the stamp set Got Treats.  I used Blushing Bride CS for the base card and ran a piece of Poppy Parade CS through the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  I used the Mat Pack to punch the corner pattern by the cupcake.  Basic Pearl Jewels and Blushing Bride Poly Ribbon for accents.  The Birthday Wishes is from the Water Color Trio Stamp Set.  The patterned paper is from In Colors Pattern Stack.  Oval Punch and Scallop Oval Punch around the sentiment and a couple more Basic Pearl Jewels. A little sponging and viola ~ Theresa's first Birthday Card from us!  Happy Birthday Daughter!

More Birthday Cards

Well, here are a few more Birthday Cards ~ one for my Grandaughter who lives in New Hampshire, one for my Step-Daughter who lives in Oceanside and the other for my little Sister who lives in Burson.
 

Courney's card I used Basic Black CS and Poppy Parade CS cut with the Bigz XL Tasteful Trim Die and run through the Finial Press Embossing Folder .  The stamped flower is from Every Moment Stamp Set stamped with Whisper White Craft Ink and layered on a circle of Poppy Parade CS and then a Scallop Circle out of Very Vanilla CS and sponged with Poppy Parade Ink.  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes punched with the Word Window Punch and layered onto Poppy Parade CS punched with the Modern Label Punch.  I added some  Basic Rhinestone Jewels.

The one I created for Holly I found on Stamping School.com last week.  I love how the embossing folder matches the Elegant Sorie'e DSP.  The Happy Birthday is from Perfect Punches Stamp Set, the background Baja Breeze CS was run through the Elegant Lines Embossing Folder with a strip of Crumb Cack CS across and 3 Basic Pearls and more Basic Pearls earls in the deeply embossed Baja Breeze design.  The backing layer is Crumb Cake on a Very Vanilla CS base.  The Happy Birthday is punched with the Large Oval Punch and layered onto Crumb Cake CS punched with the Extra Large Decorative Label  Punch.

                                                                                                                                                                                     

The last one I made for my little Sister using Old Olive CS for the Card Base and Blushing Bride CS punched with the Corner Rounder Punch and run through the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  I added a strip of the Wide Old Olive Striped Ribbon and with Blushing Bride Stitched Poly Ribbon.  The kitty is from the Every Little Bit Stamp Set layered onto Blushing Bride CS punched with Circle Punch, then a layer of Early Espresso and then the Scallop Circle from Old Olive CS and all layers were sponged with Early Espresso Ink.  The Happy Birthday is from Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set punched with the Word Window Punch and layered on Blushing Bride CS punched with the Modern Label Punch and another layer with the Modern Lable Punch that goes with the Bigz Curly Label Die punched from Early Espresso CS.  I added some Basic Pearls to each side of the Happy Birthday.

Hope they all have Wonderful Birthdays and a year filled with love and family.

Joy at Christmas Notebook

I cased this from Chic n Scratch, almost the same, just different! I used some little subject notebooks and layered Poppy Parade CS, then Jolly Holiday DSP with a strip of Pear Pizzazz CS punched with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch. I used the Stamp from Perfect Punches, stamped once in Pear Pizzazz and again with Poppy Parade Stampin' Pads. I punched them out with the Scallop Circle Punch and the 1-3/8" Circle Punch and layered them on with Dimensionals. I added a little ribbon on the side made with Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon. Never to early for Christmas!!!
