Shocker! Another Birthday card!

My friend Denise had a birthday last week. We were going out to lunch but I got sick with the icks that seem to be going around so it has been postponed until this week. I couldn't wait to give her card to her so I did that Sunday. (The spoiled woman got her gift early!) I love how the card came out!

I used Stampin Up Chocolate Chip, Kraft and Tempting Turquoise paper. I used Tempting Turquoise ink and stamped the background, the two other images and "birthday wishes" with the Inkadinkado stamp set Garden Flowers. The border punch is Martha Stewart's deep lattice (I think that is what it is called). The flowers are Primas that I got a very long time ago.

Thank You!

My extra special friend Denise gave me some Tim Holtz's Distress Inks for my birthday and a the gear Cuttlebug folder I have been wanting! She even let me pick out the ink colors myself!

As usual, she challenged me to make something with my new stuff. I bought the new Tim Holtz die Heart Wings while we were shopping.

I cut out the background heart from the Heart Wings and embossed them with the Cuttlebug gear folder. I embossed the raised gears with clear embossing powder and then swiped the hearts with the Distress ink for embossed resist. I missed some spots but I still like how they turned out!

This card is not my usual style but I really like it! The inside of the card would make a great card on it's own!

Special Birthday Card

This is a card I made for a very special person for her 60th birthday! I have been working on this card for a while. The flower is made from 30 or so layers of tissue paper sprayed with Viva Pink and Fully Purple Glimmer Mist. The tissue paper was cut with Spellbinders Peony dies in three different sizes. The background paper was embossed with Sizzix embossing folder Vines. The leaves are cut from wool felt and are Spellbinders Small Sunflower set. Of course, the white glitter paper is punched with Martha Stewart's Iron Gate punch! Oops, I forgot the swirls at the bottom are Spellbinders Doodle Parts in wool felt.

The paper is DCWV as usual but you can't see the glitter in the white. I glittered the big white brad in the center of the flower with the same type of glitter. Hope she loves it, she is such a wonderful person!

Hello!

This card took too much time to finish! I had to go to school for a week. It was the first part of a certification for my job. This card is for one of my new friends I met at school! Sara (from Sitka) was one of my roommates and such a sweetie. Sara loves bright cheery colors so I am hoping to brighten her day!



Supplies:

DCWV designer paper and cardstock

50th Anniversary

I finished this card moments ago. It is a 50th anniversary card for my husband's oldest brother. The celebration is in four hours! I made Becca Fecken's medallion from this card. I had to mess with the lighting to show the glitter cardstock I used from the DCWV La Creme stack. I also used five different Spellbinders dies and the Martha Stewart border punch, wedding arches.

I am off to get ready, it is a beautiful sunny day here in Oregon!
