A little birthday fun!

Evening All,
I wanted to share some cards I made for my friends' mothers' birthday celebration. She needed some extra and figured I could help and after these past few days filled with surgery and the stomach bug I was ready for a little distraction! I went on over to Try Stamping on Tuesday blog and they had a great sketch:

 

They had a great twist "Something that makes you happy". Well when doesn't a birthday card make you happy?? So here is my take:

 

I love the now retired "Sunflower" stamp (they are a happy flower) and I paired it with the sentiment from the newly retired Simple Sketched hostess set. I used a base of Naturals white, some More Mustard that I ran through my Lattice EF and some pieces of Howlstooth and Scaringbone DP that I hung onto. I cut out the image using my Labels Framelits and I was done!

Hope she likes them!

Try Stmpin on Sunday!!

Hi All,
I wanted to share a card that I DID finish in time for the sketch challenge that inspired me!! I know I know, an accomplishment!! Anyhow I had gone on over to Try Stampin on Tuesday and they had another great sketch:

 

They had a cool "Girlfriends" twist if you so chose but I really need more Thank You's! So here is what I came up with:

 

 

I used a base of Night of Navy, a layer of Wisteria Wonder and Afternoon Picnic DP. I used the cute Bear Hugs set I have and cut him out with the Labels Framelits (great tool!). Some Bakers Twine and I was done!

Thanks for stopping by!

Flip Card

Evening All,

Here is a card that I started working on last night and finished tonight (love having a dedicated place to craft!). I wanted to CASe a card I had seen at www.tinkerwithink.com that used the framelits to make a flip card. Check out her site. Here was my take on the card:

 

 

I used my Happy Hour set on a base of Summer Starfruit with the Sweet Sorbet DP from Saleabration and some Basic Black to make it "pop". I tied on some Whisper White Twine for interest and I was done. Very cool technique!

Have a great night!
