Another Boy Birthday Card

Ok, I made another birthday card for my 17 year old nephew which is really hard since I couldn't get too cutesy! I hope that he liked it because I really struggled with this one! I got the Frog from SVGCuts.com and it cut really good! I am really happy with the frog! The "Hoppy Birthday" I created in SCAL. The plaid paper is really from a Christmas stack as I think these colors really "age" up the card for an older boy. I stitched around the sentiment because I really shouldn't have used my distress ink on these as it made it blend in with the background. I just love the buttons for the eyes and it gives the frog more dimensions. I am finding that I love ribbon/twine and buttons on all my projects now! The inside stamp I got from Michaels and is a cling stamp-I really like these! I am going to have to find more!!!

A Boy Birthday Card

Ok, creating boy birthday cards are a little more challenging and trying not to add flowers, glitter, and bling. I found some cute comic book words paper and made two cards. I can only display one of them as the other one is for my son and need to do this when I know that I can put a few more postings on top of his card. Hope he likes it as it is going to my nephew...Kyle.

And here is what it looks like on the inside. I still need to stamp something in the inside, just need the right salutation. Wish me luck!

OK, I Made This Card!

I made this card for my Dad's cousin and he is turning 90 next week! I hope he likes the card. I inked up two different Cuttlebug embossing folders to create the background paper and then used my Nestie to make the tag on the front. The ribbon I bought from JoAnn Fabrics and the inside I put a finished look using my Cricut and Design Studio. I really like how the card turned out and hope he likes the card! Happy Scrapping!

Another Birthday Card from My Mom

Here is another handmade birthday card and this one is from my Mom. I just love all the textures, different shapes, colors and the sentiment that is inside also! Thanks Mom! More love in handmade cards!

A Birthday card from my two nieces!

I have to admit I am a little behind posting these but I thought that I would share. I received the first card from my nieces and I am very proud of what they put together. This is a keeper! It was definitely made with lots of love! Thanks Stef and Meg!



Anniversary Card

Ok, so last night I decided to make my hubby an anniversary card...the day after Valentine's Day is our anniversary and we have been married for 14 years. His family doesn't do cards, but that is ok I understand. I spent over 1 hour trying to get the right colors together and I really wanted to use the flowers and purple animal papers that I won from a hop from Celeste (Touched by a Butterfly). Everything thing seemed flat at first but then I embossed the label and put glossy accents on the stamped "I Love You" added more bling with the pearls around the Love is in the Air paper from Michaels and also popped up the bird holding the heart. I just had to use the glitter ribbon that I bought from Walmart. I really love how all of it just came together. Happy Anniversary Hubby!

Golf Birthday Card

I just made this card last week for my Dad's birthday. I needed something Golf related since that is about what he does everyday since he retired. Hope he likes the card, all the images were found online by searching in Google. Took me a while to get everything together but I am happy how it turned out!

Posting my new card

Ok, I am posting my first card that I made for my son's birthday. He loves to play the guitar and thought this grunge embossed guitar using three different colors would be cool. I also embossed the YOU ROCK with copper embossing. The Happy Birthday came from my first cricut cartridge Plantin Schoolbook. Overall my 11 year old was impressed. The paper on the left hand side is also glittery, this picture does not do it justice as I am still trying to get my camera to work. Let me know what you think!
