Sunny Friend Greeting Card

I've shared with you that most of my time is being spent on making wedding invitations, so I'm trying to make simple cards when I take my breaks from the invites. 
I made this card on Thursday, when the weather here in Minnesota was GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 I used Daffodil Delight, Basic Black, and Whisper White
 As usual, I love my embossing folders.  In this case I didn't have pattern paper that matched the yellow.  I'm actually really happy with the outcome of the card.
 Of course, I also had to add a button...what can I say?

 My friend's son is or has been married today in the Salt Lake City, Utah. I made this card for them using my Silhouette SD machine. No stamps, no coloring. Just a special gel pen for the machine, some nice decorative paper and a ribbon.

My stamp image is basically one of my "first" stamps since I started with my cardmaking hobby.  It's also one of those so-neglected stamps that's just gathering dusts inside my cubby box. But it's inked today! And probably will be inking it more in the future. (I hope, lol!).  I used SU! Old Olive for my image and for the sentiment (Stampendous), I used Memento Rhubarb Stalk.  The white panel was embossed with Cuttlebug Stylized Flower and coloured with green decorative chalk. The images were cut with Nestabilities Square and matted onto a Rose Red cs cut with Cuttlebug Vintage corner die (another neglected stuff of mine).  I used another colour apart from white and green to give the card some pop. ;)

 Hi everyone! A friend of mine asked me to make a card for a wedding that she'll be attending in 2wks time. The motif is baby pink and as I looked at the inspiration website, I was inspired by the swirls of this pink lunch napkin: http://www.platesandnapkins.com/pan/...h-napkins.html
I used a bit of green for the fern leaves so it will somehow give the card a bit of a pop. :)

Thanks for looking and have a blessed day!

Happy Birthday Mr Speck

My son wanted to make a birthday card for his first grade teacher.  Mr. Speck had just gotten a puppy named Tag that he brought into class, so we had to put Tag on it.

A Flip Top Cupcake


This is one of those cards that opens in two ways.   The frosting flips up and the card opens for a message as well.  I love pulling up these older cards.  I have forgotten about most of them.

A New Baby

Sent this card to my niece, Sarah, after I found out she was expecting.  Love the neutral colors on this.

Over the Moon for You, Baby

This card was made for my son and daughter's kindergarten teacher.  They both had him and they both LOVED him.  He is so good with kids.  I was a little nervous when I met him.  We had just moved here from Raleigh, NC and he looked like he was about 15.  I thought, uh oh, he can't know what he's doing.  Yeah, teach me a lesson.  He was the best teacher we've ever had.  And now he only looks 21, but I'm sure he's going to be a wonderful father.  This was made using Baby Steps, George, and Accent Essentials.

Here's the card I made for him using the new Scrappy Moms Stamps "Sun Kissed" stamp set!
Anchor and wave: Life's a Beach
Red striped ribbon: Stampin' Up!
Patterned paper: K & Co
Sentiment: SMS "Sun Kissed"
 
Labels: dancer, lifes a beach, masculine card, bakers twine








I used some yellow card, and polka dot blue card from my supplies, along with PTI spring rain card. I embossed part of the yellow card with the Cuttlebug Swiss dot embossing folder to add a little texture and matted it onto black card. I wasn't at all sure about using black on a baby card for some reason, but it did help the yellow to stand out. I used the PTI rickrack die to cut the spring rain cardstock and with a little playing around, I was also able to cut an additional very narrow strip from the same die. I cut the giraffe on my Cricut with the Zooballoo cartridge and shadowed it in black. The stamps were PTI Round and Round, Blonde Moments Sweet Nothings and a SeeD's  baby set that has lost its label.
Labels: baby card, giraffe, boy, cuttlebug

This new baby card was made once again with the Wild Card cartridge baby carriage card on page 76 of the handbook. I layered it with some pastel plaid paper that I ran through the Swiss dots Cuttlebug folder for some texture. I finished it off by adding some baby buttons and faux stitching and inking around the edge.

This card was embossed with the cuttlebug swirls folder and the gap at the end was filled with a scallop border trimmed to fit. I used the PTI mat stack 3 die to cut a mat from cream card and stamped it with some snowflakes from PTI Snowfall in creamy brown chalk ink. The focal point was from 2009 Holiday Tag Collection mounted onto a brown mat cut from a scallop circle punch.

Anyway, for these cards, I pulled out my new Kate's ABC's - that I FINALLY got last week, and cut out these cute little umbrellas. Covered them with Glossy Accents, and glitter, then pop-dotted them onto the white frames that I cut from Elegant Edges. Added a sentiment for the outside and inside from Scrappy Mom's stamps and heat embossed them so they shine a little! Finished off with a little more Glossy Accents and glitter around the edges. It was getting  a little dark when I photographed these, so they are a lot brighter and more fun in real life! Had a hard time getting a good picture, so had to settle for these!
