Beautiful People

I saw a card like this in one issue of Stampin' Success.  It was made with vellum that has gold stripes but I didn't have that paper.  So I embossed with a retired folder that had similar stripes then inked using gold Encore.

Records, Do You Know What They Are?

I finally order the flip thinlette die for the Big Shot.  The outside of the card looks like the left side of the picture.  When you open the card, the circle flips and you see the birthday greetings on the inside.  I have another of these cards made that I will publish in a few days.

Don't be a Crab

It isn't quite beach weather around here, well at least not for me, but this card makes me think of the beach.  Looking forward to May when I will spend some time at the beach.

You Make Me Happy

Now that spring is here, maybe the cold weather is done for those of you that have been having so much snow and cold.  These suns have been popping up all over pinterest and splitcoast so I don't know who first had the idea of using the banner punch for sun rays.  It sure makes a cute card.

An Interesting Tree

I bought this stamp last year when I went to the stamp store in Las Vegas.  I spent a lot of time in the store looking at all the stamps so I felt like I had to buy a few stamps.  This is one of several that I bought.  Unfortunately sympathy cards are always needed around here.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to my baby brother Tom.  It is also our niece Amy's birthday today.  I am so excited that we will be seeing Amy, her DH, and 3 young children when they visit Disney.  We have not seen them in awhile.

Another thinking of You Card

 

I seem to be needing a lot of thinking of you cards lately.  I have several friends that really need a little pick-me-up and the only thing I know to do is send a handmade greeting card. 

Thinking of You

When I saw this card on Pinterest, I liked the simplicity of it.  Now I usually have a hard time with simple cards so I am not sure why I was attracted to this one.  I will probably send it to my friend that I have talked about before going through chemo.

Happy Birthday Dad

So if you thought the last card was still too girlie to send to a guy, then I think these two may be more to your liking.  The background is DSP from a retired set of Stampin' Up! papers.  I just picked two sections of two different papers to get the effect I wanted.  Today would have been Jim's dad birthday.  He has been gone for a long time but we still think of him on his special day.
