Birthday Cards

Happy Thursday!  It' has been a busy couple of weeks.We have now officially started the downstairs remodeling. We have so many projects going on at once it's pretty crazy but exciting too. I was able to make some birthday cards last week for my TOPS group.  

I made six cards using a 12 X 12 single
sheet of pattern paper.

 The cards had to be mailable without additonal
postage so I chose a 3-D pattern paper.

I added lace and pearls to some of the cards.

Here is a close up of the paper. The card on the right
has no ribbon or pearls added to it.  I added lace
 and pearls to the card on the left. 

Thanks for stopping by today. Enjoy your weekend! God Bless.

Engagement Card

Happy Thursday! My daughter-in-law's sister just got engaged. She lives in Colorado so I wanted to send her a congratulations card. I really don't have any engagement stamps so I used a Heartfelt Creations die cut and a congratulations wood stamp from Stampede Rubber,

I had a bag of gold rings but the gold didn't look
good with the white and black. I tried spray paint,
Copic markers and finally used silver glitter glue to
cover the gold ring. I added the bling as the diamond.

I added glitter behind the black die cut embellishment.
The picture doesn't show it but it really shines.

Thanks for spending some time with me today. You have a super great day!

Kindergarten

Happy Monday. School is back in full force. I was at the Mall last week and this lady was so happy. She said "It's so nice to have the kids back in school" I just had to laugh.  For me, school means to much traffic in the mornings...(laughing)  Five years ago between my family and neighbor six beautiful babies were born between January-June and they all have started kindergarten this year. I wanted to send each of them a card filled with hugs and kisses. Of course time got away from me and I've only made one card so far. 

The stamp set is a retired CTMH set. It's the most
adorable set with kindergarten as it's theme.

I cut out the "ABC" with a die cut. I wanted to add
"123" but I don't have a number die cut.  Oh dear,
I need to add that to my wish list....(laughing)

Best of luck this school year. Thank You to all the teachers out there that chose to teach!

Heartfelt Creations

Happy Thursday to you! How's everyone doing? Today I am sharing a birthday card I made using my Heartfelt Creations flower die cuts. I have so many ideas and projects I want to make with my Heartfelt Creation dies but so little time to make them....(smiling)

The colors are cream and purples but the picture
 doesn't bring out the true colors. 

I stamped the flowers on cream colored CS and used
an ivory embossing powder. Adding different shades
 of purple inks to the center of the flowers and then
attached the pearls. 

Have a great weekend! Happy Stamping.

Masculine Thank You card

Happy Monday! How many masculine thank you cards have you made?  I needed a masculine thank you card for a friend who allowed our family to use his cabin a few weeks ago. He is a cabinet maker by trade and his cabin shows his beautiful and skillful work. I would have loved to make a wooden thank you card for him but instead I added a wooden embellishment. (laughing)

The tree stamp is from SU and the Thank You from CTMH.
I made the white and green one first but decided it needed
browns to make it a bit more manly. 

Here's a close up of the wooden leaf. That's about 
as close as I am getting to making a wooden card.

Have a wonderful week. Thanks for stopping by today!
