"30th" Birthday Card





     This past Sunday (April 17), my daughter had her 30th birthday.  She has packed so much life into these 30 years!   This background seemed so appropriate for her card since she has visited so many countries and is currently living in another country.  So proud of her passion and heart for helping others!

     For this card I used the Going Global embossing folder and the numbers from Large Numbers framelits.  The sentiment was stamped with a stamp from Teeny Tiny Wishes in Watermelon Wonder ink and punched out with the Word Window Punch.  The numbers and card base are Watermelon Wonder as well.  

Sunset Birthday Card



    Another fun card I made recently.  I love the sunset back ground with the boat on  the water!  The birds are from the Wetlands stamp set, the sentiment is from The Sky is the Limit stamp set (stamped with Jet Black Stazon ink.  The kayak is one that my friend printed for me.  I used Artist Loft soft pastels for the back ground.

Camping Birthday Cards




     These are two birthday cards I did recently and really enjoyed doing them!  The tent was stamped right on to the background and again on a separate piece so I could color it and cut it out for a 3D effect.  I used the trees from the Lovely as a Tree stamp set, the tent from the Great Outdoors stamp set (retired) and the sentiment from The Sky is the Limit stamp set.

Mother's Day Cards





     With Mother's Day quickly coming up, I thought I would share these Mother's Day cards using the Nice Cuppa stamp set and framelits.  I love this set and it is still available till May 31st!  The flower paper behind the tea cup panels is from last spring's Sale-A-Bration selection.   The world embossed on the front panels is from the Going Global embossing folder still available till May 31.  I used Mint Macaron and Blushing Bride card stock for these cards.



Birthday Card




     Here is another birthday card made for the same customer (she ordered 12 birthday cards).  This one also uses the Sky is the Limit stamp set and the Going Global embossing folder.  The embossing folder is still available till May 31.   I punched the circles with the 2" circle punch and the 13/4" circle Punch.  Marina Mist card stock was used for the card base and the 13/4" circle.  Marina Mist ink was used for the sentiment.  

Birthday Cards.





     I have some new cards to share with you!  These are 3 birthday cards for a customer.  The Sky is the Limit was the stamp set used for these.  I also used Marina Mist ink for the back ground and the clouds are from the Sprinkles of Life stamp set.   Marina Mist card stock was used for the card bases. All parts of these cards were from Stampin' Up!  Unfortunately The Sky is the Limit stamp set is no longer available.

Thankful Jar


     At the beginning of 2016 I took a challenge to add one thing each day that I am thankful for.  It is a great way to use my paper scraps and my Note Tag Punch.  I share this challenge with you and hope it inspires you to do the same.


Large Sympathy Card




      Here is one of several sympathy cards I have had to make lately.  It is a larger card - big enough for a group of people to sign.
