Sister Birthday

One of my little sisters is having a Birthday this week ~ here's the card I made for her. Should have had it in the mail already ~ at least I'll get it going before her BIG DAY!!!

I used the Aviary Stamp Set for the birds and cage. I stamped the bird cage on clear acetate and cut it out and mounted it over the little bird that's statmped directly onto the background paper, the top is Elegant Soiree DSP and the bottom part of the card is from Travel Journal DSP. I punched the happy birthday with the large oval punch. The happy birthday is stamped with the Perfect Punches Set on Baja Breeze CS. I sponged around the outside edge with Early Espresso and rounded the corners. The ribbon across the center is Pumpkin Pie Grosgrain. Sure hope she likes the card and the thought ~ I know she will. I did the inside on my computer and added another long-legged bird from the Aviary Stamp Set. Happy Birthday Sis'! It's really hard when they live so far away ~ well, not real far, but over 4 hours, so I don't get to see her and her family very often. I know Judy ~ at least it's not Michigan!

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.

Shirt Dress & Brief Case (Cased)

Well, I cased another project from Jackie Topa at Addicted to Stamping, she gives so many awesome tutorials, you just have to visit her site!

I used different DSP than she did and punched my little flower from the Boho Blossom Punch, her instructions give you step-by-step instructions on creating this awesome dress and brief case.

I used Chocolate Chip Taffeta Ribbon for the belt, a buckle from the Hodgepodge Hardware Kit for the buckle on the belt and the briefcase. I sponged Early Espresso around the edges of the dress and all the parts of the briefcase. The Congratulations is from the Well Scripted Stamp Set and best wishes is from the Short & Sweet Stamp Set.

I know this is the 3rd creation in a row that I've cased from Jackie Topia, but her creations are just to cute to resist. Thanks for sharing Jackie!
