Birthday Cards from My Pals

Check out some of the hand made cards I received! They all have different flavours and are sooo beautiful. This one is from Gabie...I love the layered flower she created with her scallop punch and the distress embossed butterfly. Check out the cute vase with raffia! So pretty!
Here is a card made by Shannon. I love how she used the 3D paint to create a shimmer background - it looks like a million bucks! It totally matches the shimmer of the chipboard flower! So cool!

The next card is made by Clare. She added the bling and Koi fish and painted the fins with 3D paint. This hybrid card really looks like the fish are supposed to be there. So funky and modern!

Thanks so much for the birthday wishes! I seriously need to break out and make some cards. Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday, Louise

Happy Birthday, Louise! Here's a card I made for Louise. My theme was Paris since she was there recently for a vacation. I used a toile background stamp using the resist emboss technique...Again!! I also used a Stampin' Up French Script stamp and the Stampin' Up Bird Punch - love it!


Here's a gift tag I made for Louise. I used a Tim Holtz Eiffel Tower Stamp and the Stampin' Up French Script stamp. Part of my gift to is to help her take her photos and emphemera from her trip and make a wall hanging for her office. I'll be sure to post pictures of that when it's complete. Ever notice that using rafia on anything makes it sooo much more appealing!?!?

Happy Birthday, Aida

Here's a card I made for Aida's birthday. I used the resist emboss technique that I'm totally lovin' at the moment. I also used the aged music sheet background stamp which I've been using lots lately. Who needs to buy paper when you can create your own - LOVE it!!

Here's a close up: You can see the resist emoboss of the smaller butterflies in the corners.

I've Been Busy......

Hi Kids! It's been awhile....a long while but I still have time to create. Here are some of the projects I've created in the past couple of months. Above is a Birthday card I made for one of my friends. Homemade flowers are huge so I made my own version by adding irridescent dimensional paint and crumpling them up after they dry. I love love love the effect. I did the same with the leaves. I also used my Stampin' Up Bird Punch...you'll be seeing alot of this in my projects.
