Bright & Cheerful Birthday

Today's birthday card is a bright one!  I love this color combination together for summertime.  The flowers were made with the Blossom Punch.  For each flower, I punched out 2 blossoms and, using my bone folder, broke down the fibers and split each punch-out into 2 to give it some texture.  All 4 pieces are held together with a glimmer brad and then scrunched up for some dimension.  The sentiment is embossed using Tangerine Tango embossing powder.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Country Congratulations

Today's card is a fun, country-style card - or at least that's what came to mind when I finished it!  I didn't really have a plan in mind before I started this card - just wanted to use some of my new products and try out our fabulous new firm foam ink pads - I'm a huge fan of them!  They give you such a clean, crisp image without a lot of elbow to do so - I will for sure be replacing my ink pads with these new ones!

Hope you are all having a wonderful day - thanks for stopping by!

So Grateful

Today's card is a CASE (copy and share everything) of this card by Maureen Merritt.  I love all the cards on her blog, so please go check her out!

For the base of my card, I used Naturals White - I like using a heavier cardstock than Whisper White - it gives the card more strength.  I could stare at this card for hours - I just love the design of it!  Wouldn't you love to get a thank you card like this in the mail?  :)

Hope you're having a great day - thanks for visiting!

Box in a Card

How cool is this card?!?  It's a fancy-fold box in a card!  Technically, it doesn't hold anything, but when you open it, it opens like a box.  Check out Frenchie Martin's blog here for a video tutorial on how to make this fun card.

Ribbon Flower Pin Card

Today's card has a fun element to it - a ribbon flower pin!  I found this website with tutorials on making a variety of ribbon flowers.  Once I completed my flower, I sewed on a button, adhered the flower to a small circle of felt, sewed a pin to the back of it and attached it to the card (see picture below).

The backdrop of the card is from our Lattice Bigz Die.  Isn't this a fun birthday card?  It's a card and gift in one!  Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous weekend!
