My Cousin's Birthday Card

Judy & I are twins.  We had twin cousins 2 years older than us, Delilah & Charlene.  We lost Delilah to cancer and Charlene to Arkansas!  I'm sending Char this Birthday Card so she knows how much we love and miss her.

I used Pink Piroutte CS for the base of the card and the Edgelets Adorning Accents to cut the edge and then embossed with the Edgelet Embossing Folder.  The flowers are from Bordering on Romance Stamp Set and the best wishes is from Short & Sweet Stamp Set.  I colored with Stampin' Write Markers Pink Pirouette and Lucky Limeade.  I sponged the edges with Pink Piroutte Ink. I rounded the corners with the Corner Rounder Punch and used the Framelits Label Die to create the front and inside and embossed the oval with the Textured Impressiojns Designer Frames Embossing Folder, cut the flower out with the Large Oval Punch and added some Basic Pearls to the flowers.  I know she will love hearing from me and I miss her so much.  The four of us were always so close and after losing D, Charlene became our triplet.  Love you Char, hope your day is half as awesome as you are.  Love and miss you tons...your Cousin ~

I found this card on DO Stamping with Dawn, thanks so much for the great instructions and idea Dawn.

Best Wishes

Another Brother-in-law Birthday. I used the Tropical Party, Perfect Punches and Short & Sweet Stamp Sets. I colored the image with water color pencils. The base card is Pacific Point CS, along with the 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch and the layers of DSP are from the Sweet and Sour Specialty DSP pack. I used Whisper White for the "Best Wishes" and punched with the Oval Scallop and Large Oval Punches.

Hope he likes it! Keep on Stampin' ~ Big hugs, Jul~

Matchbox Easel Card

I love this idea ~ check out Inking Idaho's blog for more instructions! Isn't she totally awesome? Judy made one of these for Jeremy (my nephew) for his graduation $$$ ~ what a cute idea, huh?

I used the new Marina Mist CS for the Matchbox, added a couple of brads and the best wishes from Short & Sweet Stamp Set and the little tree and pot from Bouquet Bunch. I added some linen thread around the pot for a little depth.

Hope you like it?

3 x 3 card ~ cased from Judy!

Here's a little card I cased from Judy today ~ you'd have to see it in person cause she doesn't have a blog .... sorry ~ but mine is pretty close to what her's looked like, in fact ~ I'll post a picture of her's too! Love you Judy!

This one is Judy's and totally cute!

And here is mine. I used the XL Two-Step Bird Punch with Bermuda Bay CS for the bird's body and Melon Mambo CS for the wings. Almost Artichoke CS and Close to Cocoa CS for the branch. I used Soft Suede to sponge the edges and for the sentiment which is from the Short and Sweet Stamp Set. Also Close to Cocoa Grosgrain Ribbon and the Eyelet Border Punch on the bottom of the card backed with Melon Mambo CS and sponged with the Soft Suede.

Thanks for sharing Judy and thank you so much for coming to visit today ~ our day flew by much to fast! (As usual!!!) :o)
