Stampin' Up! ~ Happy Birthday to You!

Today's card is one that I made for my niece's birthday.  I asked what her favorite color was and I was told "Lovely and sparkly...so sparkly". lol  Well I made it sparkly!  I actually made two cards one for my niece that is turning three and one for my niece who turned one...and I forgot to take a picture of the second card...err!  It was exactly the same except the butterflies were Real Red, Tangerine Tango and Daffodil Delight.  Wink of Stella sure can make things sparkle! :D


I used clear Wink of Stella, but the color of paper you put it on changed the look of it a little.   It might not seem like it in the pic below, but the orange butterfly looked kind of like dazzling diamonds, the pink one looked slightly gold and the purple one looked a touch like silver.  Not that I'm complaining because it was exactly what I was looking for!




Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Botanical Birthday

Today's card shows that I finally had a chance to play with some flowers.  As much as I love winter (when there's snow!) I also miss walking in my yard and checking out the different flowers that I have all around.  The sketch challenge this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday was the perfect sketch to play with some flowers and I did that with the Botanical Builders Framelits Dies.  


Make sure you head over to Try Stampin' on Tuesday HERE and check out what the other designers did with this sketch.  And show us what you create if you get a chance. We'd love to see it! :)



I sponged around the edges of each of the flowers and used my bone folder to curl the paper.  That gives the flower a lot more dimension.  I also made a little boxed envelope with a band to go around it with flowers on it too for my niece's birthday.  I totally forgot to take pictures of that though! I wasn't there when she opened it, but was told she really liked it. :)  I hope so!

Beautiful Butterfly

I have a second card to share with you today!  Two in one day is amazing since I'm lucky to do two a week! lol  Anyway it was my niece's birthday yesterday on Thanksgiving so I definitely had to have a card for her.  I also made her a chocolate cake along with the pumpkin, French apple and pecan pies that I made...yummy!  Making the cake was extra work, but definitely worth it to see the smile on her face. :)  Since I made her card yesterday morning just before heading to lunch I had to have a little help.  I checked out the sketch challenges I follow and decided to use Freshly Made Sketches challenge #214 and Color Me... #99.  I think the two challenges helped make a beautiful card.  I loved it even more because lately most of my cards have been  fall, winter or Christmas so to get a bit of spring and summer back was nice. :)


I love Freshly Made Sketches CAS sketch this week!  This card was so easy to whip up using it. 


Love, love, love these colors together!  If I have time I just might  need to do a little brayering with them.  I do have to make a bunch of thank yous for orders so maybe... :)



Thanks for looking and have  a great day!

Happy 20th Rachel!

Today's card was made special for my "baby".  She turned 20 yesterday and I had to make her something right?!  Since I love the new set from Stampin' Up! called Remarkable You I decided to use the water lily for her card (at least I think it's a water lily!).  I wanted lily pads to go with it too so I ended up making a stamp for that using the carving kit that I bought a while ago from Stampin' Up!  I don't believe it's available anymore, but I have to admit it did the trick!  It took a bit of time to carve the stamp out, but I think it was definitely worth it in the end.   My daughter said I carved a new stamp just for her.  Hmm...I don't know if I did it "just" for her because it's for me too! ;)  Hope you like today's card. :)

Beautiful Blue Butterfly

I just wanted to get a quick post out showing a cute card I made using a bit of the old with a bit of the new. :)


It's one of the cards I'm having the ladies make for this month's stamp a stacks.  It's a very simple one to make so I know they'll like that! :)


Just a bit of a close up for you to see...

Sparkling Swallowtails

Today I have a couple of cards to show you...one for my niece, the other for my upline.  I have to say I love this stamp!  It seems like there's so many different colors I can use with it. :)  
This first card is for my niece's birthday.  I know she loves yellow, but I needed to add a bit more color so I used Primrose Petals and Pretty in Pink.  First I inked the whole image in VersaMark, then sponged on the other colors.  After I stamped my image I covered it with Heat & Stick powder, then used the heat gun.  After that I poured Dazzling Diamonds all over it and used the heat gun again.  If you want lots of sparkle that's the way to do it!


Since I really liked my niece's card I thought I'd do another one using all of the 2012-2014 In Colors.  I made this as a thank you for my upline.  Whenever I need to borrow any of her stampin' stuff for my stamp a stacks she's more than willing to share...even at the last minute. :)




Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Happy Birthday, Annie!

 Well, I downloaded what I thought was the just the pics I took of today's card and forgot that I had gone through my yard when the weather was so warm and had taken a few pics of of flowers and my favorite is my "weeping" cherry tree.  It surely doesn't want to weep even with all the trimming I've done!  I think they gave us the wrong kind. lol  Oh well, it's still pretty when it blooms!


Looking toward the sky from under the tree.



Anyway, on to the real reason for this post...Happy 13th Birthday to my niece.  I'm told she likes the color yellow.  I surely hope so because this card has a lot of yellow on it!

Hello Kitty Birthday

Today's post is a tradition I've started with my nieces for their birthdays...making them a purse and card, then putting a couple of other fun things in it.  I saw a Hello Kitty pattern by Lynn Pratt here and thought it would be the perfect thing for a four year old.  So cute!!




Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Birthday Purse

I had a lot of fun making today's card and gift for my niece.  My upline  Glenda  made a purse like this, and I ended up getting one; so I thought it would be the perfect purse to make for my niece this year.  I also made her a little notebook to go in her purse...


and a card that fit perfectly too.  I came up with my own fun saying for her that started on the inside of the card...


then it has to open even more to read the rest.  I also put in a pack of gum (that she has to share with her brothers and sister) and a dollar in change.  I usually hide a dollar bill somewhere in their card, but I just did change in her purse this year. That's a tradition I've done for each of them since their first birthday.  I'm afraid someday a dollar just won't be enough! lol


Thanks for looking and have a great day!
