6 Year Old's Birthday Card

My good friend at work has a Grandson who turns 6 today.  He's already a die-hard Giants fan so I got him a Giants sweatshirt from our Sports Store at the mall.  Here's the card I made to go with his gift ~

 

It's just a little 3x3 gift card.  I used Great Sport Stamp Set for the baseballs, stamped off once and then stamped on Very Vanilla CS with Pumpkin Pie Ink and also sponged the edges with the same ink.  The Happy Birthday is from Blue Ribbon Stamp Set.  The border is Pumpkin Pie CS layered onto the Black CS base.  I used some Black Taffeta Ribbon.  The inside was computer generated.  Used my oval Scallop Circle punch and regular circle punch and the inside circle is one of the circles from the Circles #2 Sizzix die.

Hope he has an awesome 6th birthday ~ and many more....

 

Great-Granddaughter's Birthday Card

Here's the card I made for my hubby's Great-Granddaughter's Birthday ~

I used It's Your Day Stamp Set for the greeting on the front and the little vase is from the Bright Blossoms Stamp Set.  The card base is Whisper White with a layer of Tempting Turquoise for for both borders.  the DSP I used is Summer Smooches.  I also added a Sweet Stitches Designer Fabric Brad.  The inside I cut the message out with the Framelits Label Collection Die, along with one for the border using Pumpkin Pie CS.

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.

Work-in-progress Easter Treat

I used the new Petal Cone Die to make this little container (looks like a carrot, don't ya think?), I'm still going to add to it.  I'm thinking maybe a bit of embossing and maybe a ribbon or little embellishment??

I put some treats inside and will be adding some grass to make it look more like Easter.  These are so easy, and so much fun.  Let me know if you have other ideas that I can use to make this little treat "pop"!

Thanks ~ hugs to all, Julia

A Friend's Birthday

A friend is having her Birthday this week so I created a floral arrangement for her and a Birthday Card to go with it.

Hope she likes them!  The card base is Chocolate Chip and a layer of Autumn Spice DSP.   The stamped flower on water color paper is from the Every Moment Stamp Set and the Birthday Wishes is from the Watercolor Trio Stamp Set.  I sponged the edges with Early Espresso and punched the Birthday Wishes with the Small Oval Punch and layered onto a piece of Pumpkin Pie CS punched with the Scallop Oval Punch. I did the corners with the Ticket Corner Punch and added some flat back pearls.

Spinner Truck Card

I found this card on Card Scraps blog. The little truck spins across the open window. I used the Loads of Love Stamp Set and the Travel Journal DSP. The window is cut with the Word Window Punch and layered onto Pumpkin Pie CS, more Travel Journal CS and then a base card of Gray from the Neutrals CS collection.

Birthday Card for a Dear Friend

I thought my friends Birthday was this week ~ I rushed to make her a card and double-checked my calendar and it's not until next week! Yippeee...for once I'm ahead of the game!! LOL!

You can't tell from the picture but the background paper for the card base is Melon Mambo and the piece that I ran through the Square Lattice Embossing Folder is Pumpkin Pie. For some reason those two colors really compliment one another. I used the new 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch and punched out Island Oasis DSP and added the happy birthday and my friend from one of the new stamps sets called Perfect Punches. The "my friend" was punched with the Curly Label Extra Large Punch. I rounded the corners of the card with the Corner Rounder Punch and everything was sponged with Early Espresso Ink (another new product available tomorrow, July 1st).

It's so nice to have something done "ahead of time", now all I have to do is remember to mail it next week. Hope she likes it and has an awesome Birthday!!!
