Fall Birthdays

 I have several fall birthdays to celebrate, so made a couple of different designs.  The top card was made using the Cuttlebug Swirls embossing folder, Tim Holtz's Embossing Difuser to leave a blank area.  I punched the leaf, used a non permanent glue dot to attach the punch out to the card used Encore Ultimate Metallic Bronze sponged off the edge of the leaf.

This 2nd card I case'd from a design I found on Split Coast Stampers.  I used a Memory Box die to punch out the butterfly, then used a couple of different ribbons to fill in the design.  I attached the card with the die to a lawn green piece of card stock.

Happy Halloween

This is my Halloween card this year.  I used a ghost stamp and embossed with white embossing powder and then cut out the Madison Door with Kelly Paper's Red Sedona card stock and covered the openings with vellum.  The top border was some striped printed paper cut with a die from Spellbinders.

More birthdays

I know it's been a while since I've posted.  Busy times around here with the gardens and so many birthday cards to complete, plus doing Thank You cards for the All County Picnic.  I created this card for my Great Niece using a set of stamps I received in one of my magazines.  I colored the card with Twinkling H2o's and used my Sizzlits die cut for the number.

 This card was made using Michael Strong's star stamp and Marvy markers, and layered on a white base, then red, then blue cardstock.  The words at the bottom are stamped using black Staz-On ink and the stamp is from Great Impressions.

My brother's favorite Disney character is Donald Duck, so had to make him a card using the duck.  I took a picture of Sleeping Beauty's castle, and printed it very washed out and  placed a Jolee's die cut of Donald over the print.  Very simple, but he was happy to see Donald on his card.

Happy sailing

This was a birthday card for a boat loving friend.  It doesn't show up real well in the photo, but I started with a Darice embossing folder of a lighthouse on a piece of Judikins card stock.  All the stamps are Posh Impressions from the By The Sea set.  I colored the boat and water stamp, and the birds with Marvy Markers, and the sea grass is using the Tim Holtz Cracked Pistachio Distress Marker. 

Greetings

I needed to make a quick card for 2 birthdays, and came up with this one using a Seattle Skyline die from Impress Rubber Stamps, the Moon from Posh Impressions Camping set and the Greetings from the Northwest stamp by Make an Impression. The moon is stamped with Lemonade Adirondack Ink and highlighted with Sunny Yellow Marvy Marker.  The saying is stamped with Azure Staz-On.

Happy 1st Birthday

I made this card for my great niece's 1st birthday.  I had an old kit from Stampin' Up  for the paper and the cutouts and then added a strip of Mickey Mouse paper from my stock as she is part of a Disney fan family.

This card was fun and simple to make.

Mickey Birthday

Simple to make, but the perfect card for a Disney lover.  I made this as a birthday card for one of my friends.  It is made with Sandy Lion Mickey and Friends and Creating Keepsakes Disney papers.  The 2 corner squares are cut from a whole sheet of the Mickey and Friends paper and the background is a 4 x 5 cutout from the Sandy Lion sheet and placed on a white background.

Happy Easter

 This is a little late, but here are the Easter cards I made for this year.  The top and bottom card are made using the Memory Box Floral Frame die and all the bunnies are using the Memory Box bunny die.  The middle card was a preprinted card that just happened to match the bunnies almost perfectly.

Valentine's Cards

 These are the Valentine's Day cards I made this year.  I took a bright red card stock and using the memory box heart die, cut a heart on the front.  The background heart is wrapping paper given out at our county fair by the Port Townsend Paper Company.  I then used the Memory Box Cupid Die to cut the cupid from the same red card stock. 

Falling leaves

I made this as a birthday card, but it could work for any occasion.  It is white card stock embossed with a Darice Tree embossing folder and then using scraps from my Thanksgiving card that I punched with a small leaf punch.  I attached the leaves with glue dots.  I love how this card turned out, and how quick it was to make.
