Catch up on Birthday Cards Afternoon!

     I missed a couple birthdays throughout August and September so I decided I would spend an afternoon and get them all done! It would have taken me a month of Sundays if it weren't for Pinterest and all the wonderful people who post their projects for people like me to CASE. I don't know how you all can do such wonderful things, a great imagination for sure! Maybe one day I will be able to come up with an idea of my own 😂
     Anyway... Here are the 4 cards I did for my co-workers Friday afternoon! They were all cased from awesome pinners on Pinterest so thank you to all you wonderful people!

     The first card I used a retired Thinlit that I wish I knew the name of! I inherited it from my Mom's stash of supplies and it isn't labeled... I was wrong! I had looked it up and wrote it down... Smart Me! It is the Hello You Framelits. I did use a current product that I am finding to be one of my favorites... Stitched All Around that I originally had no intention on buying... Boy am I glad I did!
    I also used the Picture Perfect Photopolymer stamp set for the envelope.


     See the original card that I got my inspiration from here on Pinterest!

      The second card is my favorite of the day! I really like the colors... Flirty Flamingo and Bermuda Bay, they look great together don't you think?
     Again, I used the Stitched All Around bundle and the new Sprig Punch from the Holiday Catalog.
     This is a really easy card, the only thing that took a bit of work was the water coloring. It is a really fun and simple technique that adds so much by not adding much at all.
     As for everything else... I'm sure you can all figure out the rest as I did. Pretty straight forward I think 😉


     See the original design on Pinterest!
      This one is a very easy card to do! I simply sprinkled the Brusho Crystals on the paper and spritzed with water then dried it with the heat tool. When I stamped the image in Watermelon Wonder, I sprinkled an embossing powder mix I made which gives it a little sparkle. I just mixed some Dazzling Diamonds embossing powder in with some clear and voila, awesome new glittery embossing powder!
     Like I said, a very simple card! Great for mass producing if you want lots of one particular card.


   Lastly is this beautiful Highland Heather "present" card. It was a pretty easy card to do as well, just the coloring of the bow really took the time... a little time. The Stampin Blends really are awesome! I love to color but I don't do so well with shading and the Blends make it so easy!
   I did the same on this card when I stamped on the vellum, I sprinkled my mix of embossing powder to give it a little sparkle.

Fancy Fold Card

I'm not sure what to call this card as the one I found wasn't in English! I was surfing on Pinterest one day and found an amazing card!! Of coarse I re-pinned it for later cause I had to give it a try myself. The only problem is, its in another language and the measurements are in cm instead of inches. I really wanted to try the card so I printed out her template and tried to convert cm to inches. I made a card with my dimensions and I am fairly pleased with it.   I tried to go fairly simple on the front as the inside is a little bulky. I used a Mojo Monday sketch for the inspiration on for front of the card.  Sketch 319     For the inside I pretty much used her layout but just used different paper.  I am in the Holiday spirit so really wanted it to be a Christmas card.  I haven't used the specialty paper in the Winter Frost Specialty DSP yet so thought it would work perfectly.   She had a template designed, but of coa...

Christmas Cheer Gift Card Holder

     Last year I carried on my Mom's tradition of doing the 12 days of Christmas with my daughter. She had done it every year buy one since my daughter was about 2, I can't remember exactly when she started it... but I can't remember yesterday so... 😂 I decided instead of giving my 16 year old a bunch of stupid things she would likely never use and I would likely toss in the garbage before long, I would give her gift cards instead.  It was a great idea, it was a hit!      Her birthday is Boxing Day so we usually go shopping in the city seeing as it's still a pretty busy day for most families.  She was able to spend around $200-$250 in gift card money so it was all good!  I think doing it that way is a much better way of doing it, what do you think?      I thought I would get a head start on Gift Cards for this year as it is a great way to give a gift and still have the recipient have a choice in what to buy. I have a fe...
