I used the hot air balloon image for the focal point and used one of the grunge images from Timeless Textures for the grass. The ‘happy birthday’ was embossed with white embossing powder. This card makes a great masculine birthday card and was quick to make. Card Supplies Celebrate Today …
Baby Bear Double Z Fold Card
Today’s Double Z Fold card is one I made for my niece’s baby shower, using several stamp sets to create it. I first came across this fold from Jan B. and knew I wanted to make a baby card using this fun fold. I wanted my main focus on Baby Bear so I stamped him on the far right so he would be seen when the …

Today is my birthday! Isn’t it nice when your birthday falls on a holiday? That means no work or school and allows you to celebrate in a more relaxing way!

Floral Phrases Birthday
My mother-in-law turned 80 earlier this month and I wanted to make her a special card to commemorate that special day. This is the one I made for her. I didn’t take a picture of the inside, but I put a big 8-0 that I die cut with the Large Numbers Framelits. I was pleased how this card came out and like the femininity of …
Botanical Blooms Birthday
August has been a busy month for birthdays. Here’s one of several birthday cards I will be posting. This card features the Botanical Builder Framelits and the background was done with the Touches of Texture Stamp. As you know by know Touches of Texture has quickly become a favorite of mine – I absolutely LOVE IT! To add depth to the flowers, I sponged them. …
Pop Of Paradise
I recently got the Pop of Paradise stamp set and finally got around to inking it this week. It’s a fun summery set with flamingos, pineapples and some other fun images. Have you noticed that flamingos and pineapples have been popping up everywhere this summer . . . in home decor, outdoors, clothing, bed sheets, even wall paper? To be honest, I wasn’t aware that they were …
Bella & Friends
For today’s card, I used three of my favorite sets from the Annual Catalog – Bella & Friends, Touches of Texture and Better Together to create this cute birthday card for my 6 year old niece. I think this puppy is adorable – don’t you think? I colored the dog, bird, cupcake and balloon with a blender pen. Of course, every little (and big) girl needs glitter so I …

Endless Birthday Wishes & Grunge
Today’s card is a quick and easy card. I combined 3 stamp sets to create the card – Endless Birthday Wishes (the cake and sentiment), Gorgeous Grunge (stripes & splatterings) and Touches of Texture (the small speckles). This makes a perfect masculine or teen card, doesn’t it? I colored the cake with a blender pen and to add dimension, I added 2 of the star metallic gold …
Bless Your Heart Jar of Love
Today’s card is a 3-1/2″ x 5″ note card featuring the Jar of Love stamp set. It’s a nice card size to jot a short note. This card fits in a regular envelope or simply make your own with the envelope punch board which is what I did, but forgot to take a picture. I stamped the jar, sentiment and flower petals in memento black …
Grateful Bunch Birthday
Today’s card is one that I made back in May but hadn’t posted yet, which is why you see the Burlap Stampin’ Up! used to carry, which is now retired. This card features the Grateful Bunch set – a cute set and one that has its own coordinating punch. Card Details The background of the card was stamped with VersaMark to create the tone on …
Helping Me Grow Blessings
Today’s card features the Helping Me Grow stamp set along with the grunge from Timeless Texture. I am a flower person and I enjoy gardening so when there’s a stamp set with nice flowers, I know I will be getting it eventually. I try to have a variety of different flowers in my stamp collection and this set is one that I enjoy making cards with. …
Another Number of Years
Here’s another card using the Number of Years stamp and Large Numbers Framelits. For this card, I did not stamp the numbers, but instead die cut them from Rose Red cardstock and outlined it with Gold Wink of Stella to give it some sparkle. I used the Oval Framelits to create an opening so when the recipient opens the card the number can still be …
Bloomin’ Love Number of Years
Today’s card features the Bloomin’ Love stamp and Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits. I also used the Number of Years and Large Numbers Framelits Dies to create this anniversary card for a special couple. Not too many marriages last this long due to death or divorce so when someone hits this milestone you have to celebrate! I love to use the Number of Years bundle because you …
Balloon Celebration
Today’s card features Balloon Celebration. There are many images in this stamp set and you probably missed this cute dandelion image which I stamped with Pumpkin Pie. I sponged the Soft Sky cardstock to create the clouds. The balloons were stamped off with Melon Mambo and then I stamped the confetti image with Pumpkin Pie ink. What I especially like about this card is the …
