Happy Birthday!

This is a special birthday card I made for a special friend.  Her birthday was in November.  She had given me some glitter gel pens and so I wanted to make a card for her using them.  I also used the Chalk Marker #132133 from the Holiday Catalog.  I used an old clear ruler that Stampin' Up! used to sell so I can see where to draw my lines on the 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" Night of Navy card stock at 3/4" inch apart with the Chalk Marker.  Then I used the glitter gel pens to randomly mark lines too.  I used the 5/8" Whisper White Organza Ribbon #114319.  Silver Embossing Powder was used to make the snowflake on the Night of Navy card stock and cut out with the Festive Flurry Framelit Die #132193 and Festive Flurry (w) #131778; (c) #131781 stamp set.

Happy Birthday Pedal Praise

It is has been a busy month and I have not posted yet for December, so since it is almost over, I'd better post some of my work from the past several months.  This is a card I made with the Pumpkin Pumpkin from August, 2013.  The stamp set is called Pedal Praise and the DSP is called Birthday Basics #130145.  I also used the Thinlets Label Card Die #133479 to make this card as well as using 3/8" Primrose Stitched Satin Ribbon #126844.  The Artisan Label #130920 and the Deco Labels Collection #130102.

Magnificent Maple with Sweater Weather

The leaves are still falling off the trees and Thanksgiving is getting closer.  Makes me very hungry thinking of that turkey dinner.  That is what inspired me to create this card.  It is a card I did for my November swap using the Magnificent Maple stamp set and the Sweather Weather DSP #132184. The base of the card was made by using the new Circle Card Thinlet Die #133480.  I also used the Gently Falling stamp set using the colors Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla and Tangerine Tango.  The "Happy Thanksgiving" stamp is from the Holiday Catalog and it is called Tags 4 You which also uses the Label Bracket Punch #132153.

This is another card I made in September for a swap.  I used the same stamp set, but instead of Washi tape, I used the Witches Brew Designer Series Paper on the front of my card and used the same colors.

Trick or Treat

Sadly, I have not been posting or making any cards this month because my husband was in Hospice care for three weeks in September and passed away October 1 from colon cancer.  I have not stamped all month as it is hard to get inspired right now, but my friend Justine stopped by last night and we looked at some of my cards from the past and the most recent ones.  I had stamped some cards in September and never got them posted.  Thought I'd better post some of my Halloween cards before this month is over with.  This one is made with the Oval Framelits and I also used the Witches Brew DesignerWashi Tape as well as the Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder.  The stamp set is from Tags 4 You and the colors I used are Very Vanilla, Basic Black, and Pumpkin Pie.
