Happy 30th Birthday, Daughter

Our daughter turns 30 today and I'm so happy to have a daughter like her! She's the best! I can say that not only because she's my only daughter, but because it's really true. I am so blessed by her and her family.

This card is an easel card, which you will see in the next photo. The front is decorated with all the same sizing and same ways you would decorate a standard A2 card.

But then there are extra pieces which allow the recipient to stand the card up for display. 

I hope you enjoyed looking. Another way she blesses me is that she lives in Hawai'i. So, right now I'm visiting her to celebrate another year of her life. Aloha!

Happy Birthday, Star!

This star-shaped card is directly from the 2014-2015 Idea Book & Catalog. You can find it on page 135 in the upper right corner. Sometimes I an stuck for ideas, so I will look through my catalog. There is always something that I have all of the supplies for, or can adapt to the supplies I do have on hand.

Here is a close up so you can see the elements it takes to put this card together. The star card base is a folded piece of Hello Honey card stock and I used the largest Stars Framelit to cut it out. The next smaller-sized star framelit was used for the Hello Honey Designer Series Paper Stack print. I used another star to make it into a frame. I scored from the inside edge of the star to the tips for folding into a 3-D effect. Then another star was cut out of Gold Glimmer paper to shine inside the frame. My final star was cut from Gold Glimmer paper using the Itty Bitty Accents Punch. My banners with the sentiment are cut from the smallest Banners Framelit. 

I hope you enjoyed looking! I would love to read your comments!

Birthday Shells and PPA Preview

Today's card was created because I wanted to create a background using one image in different colors. I used my trusty Stamp-a-ma-jig for perfect placement of each shell in the colors Crumb Cake, Baked Brown Sugar and Chocolate Chip. I nearly had to dust off the Chocolate Chip, as I haven't used it in so long! The shell image comes from the stamp set By the Seashore. 

The 'Happy Birthday' sentiment was created using two separate stamps from Memorable Moments stamped in Baked Brown Sugar ink. 

You can't see the cute left side of the tag created using the Chalk Talk Framelits because my button (with Linen Thread "x") is covering it. I didn't have any smaller buttons left from Designer Natural Buttons :-(  

I persevered and finished my card by placing the finished tag over a piece of 1-1/4" Burlap Ribbon that I adhered across the bottom of the card front.

I am glad you came by today to see what I created. Please leave a comment--you are the reason I keep on blogging!
