A different kind of card
I made this card using a playing card from an incomplete set that I picked up at a thrift store. It doesn't quite look like it, but the card base is actually ice crystal colored with a piece of orange card stock from my supply. I used a Spellbinders nesting scalloped rectangle die to cut out the mat for the playing card. The mat is Sedona Red card stock that I used on another project that was designed using ink pads direct to paper.

1 die, 2 different ways
I had this new die and needed a couple of birthday cards. The die is from Poppy and I used Tim Holtz Gold Metallic paper to punch it out. The base card is Stardream Crystal card stock. I used 2 dragonfly and a bird brad from my supplies to attach the die and on the inside, used glue dots to put dragonfly confetti to camouflage the brads. I set the die in portrait and the other one in a horizontal position. I think that it works well in both styles.

Head's Up
I cased this card from one done by Michael Strong. I used a template for the beer mug, then cut out 3 strips of Tim Holtz metallic gold paper and embossed them with the Memory Keepers bubble embossing folder. I punched out 3 different size circles to use as the "foam" on top. I edged the bubbles and the mug with a Sharpie gold marker, then stamped the sentiment from Great Impressions with white Staz-On ink.
