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!

Dandelions!

I saw this brown and yellow patterned paper in a clearance bin and it spoke to me! Of course, if you know me at all, most paper speaks to me. It tells me I need to buy it and keep it forever. LOL

I had visions of stamping a dandelion on the paper but realized I want to own the stamp I was thinking about but don't have it. So I used my McGill punches to make the dandelions and I like the way it turned out. My husband actually liked it so that says something!

The patterned paper with plain brown reverse is G C D Studios and the yellow is DCWV. Ribbon by American Crafts.

Wedding Card

I needed a quick card for a wedding and decided to go simple. I used the Spellbinders Contemporary Heart pendants and borderabilities. I used my favorite sentiment that was in a wedding card I bought

years ago.

Another Birthday Card

Here is another birthday card for work! I found some Prism paper and Petaloo Flora Doodles at our local Party Depot! I loved the maroon and green paper combination and the bright flowers. I used a small piece of pink paper cut out with Spellbinders Labels Eleven and some Stampin' Up Only Orange as an accent. The sentiment is a Studio G dollar stamp. Flowers are my favorite!

Baby Shower Bag and Card

Today is my second baby shower in two weeks! There is something in the water here. There have been 14 pregnancies in my church plus other ladies that I know who are having babies. It is an epidemic!

I only had this morning to create something and I even surprised myself how fast I got it done.

I found some Creative Imaginations Melange paper and stickers last night. I was going to use the other patterned paper from CI but this one spoke to me. The buggy and flourishes on the gift bag are from the bottom three inches of the 12 X 12 paper and the "Rock a Bye Baby" is from the top three inches of the same paper. I matted them on a gorgeous maroon color and cream, added some stick on flowers, from Petaloo,that were cream and pink and I was done!

The bottle sticker inside the card is from the sticker sheet. Grandpa to be plays in a band with my husband, the daddy to be play guitar and mommy to be love funky things!

Thanks for stopping in! Hope your day is wonderful!

...And more...

When I came up with the name for my blog I was envisioning...cardmaking, maybe scrapbooking but not sure what the ...and more...was for! Now I know! I have been doing quite a bit of "and more" and not much "paper stuff". LOL However, I did get some more birthday cards done (last month) for work and I am working on a gorgeous (if I do say so myself!) girl birthday card. Here are the cards I made last month. Most of the paper is from Die Cuts With a View, Guy Stack, with a little of the Indian Summer Stack and a teeny Tim Holtz mini paper clip! Easy peasy!

New Card!

My friend Denise of Paper Ponderings is having a birthday next week. I decided to let her have her gift early and this is the card that went with it. She is a great lover of teal and brown or kraft! I also tried out a flower I saw on the Cocoa Daisy blog. I was pretty happy to actually get the card done in all the hecticness I have had this year so far and learned a new thing too!
