Baby Shower Card

One of my oldest friend's daughter is having a baby girl in March.  So I made this card for her.  This was made in 1 afternoon.  I dry embossed the base with Swiss Dots.  I think they always work for baby cards.  The dies are Spellbinders Decorative Labels 27, the "bundle of joy", shoes, vines and baby bottle were cut using my Slice.  I am so pleased to be able to use it again.  Had some difficulty that some great ladies talked me through on Splitcoaststampers in the forum.  The papers were generic.  I was so happy it came together quickly.

Antique Birthday Card

I'm finally finished with this card!  My friend's 50th b-day was on 1/23 and I had a difficult time sitting down to work on the card.  He's nostalgic, so I wanted something that had some fun toys we had back when we were kids.  I used my friend, Kathi's, TH Picture Wheel die.  I took some old 35mm negatives and put them behind the wheel.  If you hold it up to the light, you actually see the pictures on the negatives!  And, yes, that is more 35mm negative on top of the reel.  Then I used my Slice to make a stand TV and put a picture of a Slinky ad on the screen.  I also have a pocket watch charm that my friend, Jill, gave me.  It was silver, but I antiqued it with my copic markers to tone it down in color, and I used an old necklace chain for it.  Lastly, I used a "Happy Birthday" Cuttlebug folder on Co'ordination paper and sanded. Then dressed the card up with some teal ribbon that I found this past October at a shop hop.

On the inside of the card I used my friend, Kathi's, TH Vintage Telephone die and attached a black cord to it.  The word bubble was on my Slice and I cut one in black a little larger than the one in white.  The stamped "Hello" was Inkadinkado stamped in Bermuda Bay SU ink.  The sentiment was printed on my computer and cut with SB dies.

Thanks for taking a look at my creation.  I hope my friend enjoys the card as much as I do.

Mom's Birthday, 2013

This is a little late being posted, but at least it's getting here.  My mom's birthday was at the end of October.  I've been very busy with life in general and kinda forgot to post.  So here it is.

This was very easy to do.  I used the faux letterpress technique found at Splitcoaststampers  http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/fauxletterpressmbossabilities/
I used the Moroccan embossing folder and brayered SU Bermuda Bay on it, then pressed it on my Big Kicks and wala!  Quick and easy!  The frame is a Spellbinders double cut, the leaves are a Cottage Cutz die, the flowers actually have a pearl look to them and pick up colors surrounding it.  They were made using the Cheery Lynn Lace Corner B164.  The happy birthday stamp is SU Elementary Elegance.  I used 2 pearl topped straight pins and the little white flower was cut using an old Provo Craft flower die with a pearl in the center.  The paper was Staples white and inked with Bermuda Bay, the frame, leaves and flowers used Metallic Mix from Stamponit.com. 

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!

Pink, Girly Card

A friend of mine asked me to make a pink or purple girly-frilly card for a his daughter's MIL.  I had about a week to come up with it.  So I started thinking right away.  These kind of cards are difficult for me because I don't have a lot of frilly Spellbinders and I don't do pink very well.  So during my Saturday ritual of doing things around the house, I came up with an idea and around 9pm I finally sat down to create.  Hope you like it.  I think it turned out good.

This is using the Asian Spellbinders.  The butterfly is an SU stamp that was just the right size.  I did chalk all the layers with a pink and orange chalk to go well with the DP.  Also the "happy birthday" stamp was chalked in the same colors.  And, of course, the bow was made with the Bow Easy.  I think everyone will be pleased with this card.

Kathi's Birthday Card

My friend Kathi's birthday was this week and I had a really difficult time deciding what I wanted to do for the main image.  She has sooooo many likes.  But I chose this carousel horse from Flourishes that I colored with copics.  The teal is her favorite color.  The paper is from DCWV, the impressed paper is Core'dinations and I used an SB Impressability plate, some silver line stickers, SU flowers with pearls in the centers and Diamond Stickles to make them shine.  The stick pin is also SU.  Thanks for stopping by!
