Gifts of Kindness Birthday
I’m so thankful for many things and one of them is my sweet daughter who celebrated her 26th birthday on Thanksgiving Day. Here’s the card I made for her – I love the colors . . . I wanted something feminine and soft so I added pearls, doily and used the painter’s tape technique. I’m pleased with the way this card turned out. What do …
Fabulous Florets Friendly Words
I thought I would take a break from Christmas and make a birthday card for a special friend whose friendship I cherish. I started out with the Friendly Words Wheel and then used the Fabulous Florets which I recently purchased during Stampin’ Up!’s stamp sale (love sales!). I cut out the flowers and used Crystal Effects (love the shine!) and popped them with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I …
You’re Amazing Birthday
Did you do a double take on yesterday’s post? I posted the same card back on October 2 and forgot I had already posted it! Does that mean I’m just too busy and I’m forgetting things? Sure hope not! Here’s one that I haven’t posted yet (at least I don’t think so!) I made it for one of my nieces who loves elephants using the You’re Amazing …
A Flower Shop View Master Card

This is an interactive card using the Flower Shop stamp set – anyone would love to receive it. All the recipient needs to do is move the dial on the side of the card and see a message …
Yippee-Skippee Birthday
I’ve heard many say that they have a hard time coming up with masculine cards. Images such as trees, cars, tools, etc. can be used, but did you know that giving your cards texture and using ‘manly’ colors also makes a great masculine card? Here’s a masculine card I made for my nephew who shares the same birth date as me. I was going to stamp a car from the Rev the Fun stamp …
Let’s Play Ball!
I made this card for my son who is a big Yankee and baseball fan. I stamped the Happy Birthday from the You’re Amazing Stamp Set and embossed it with White Embossing Powder. I used Night of Navy and Whisper White for the colors, but you can change it to the colors of your favorite baseball team. Making the baseballs are so much fun and easy! Want to make them? Here’s …
Up, Up & Away
This week I’ll be posting cards on some of the stamp sets that will be retiring at the end of May. So make sure you come back and see some of the creations you can do with these stamps. I made this card for my dad’s birthday using the very versatile Lovely As A Tree Stamp set and Up, Up & Away Stamp set. I liked the …
Birthday Field Flowers
Today’s card uses the Field Flowers stamp. Don’t these colors go well together? I used Lucky Limeade for the stem of the flower and was going to use it for the embossed cardstock but preferred something a little more subtle so I went to one of my favorite colors – Certainly Celery – which will soon be discontinued. I wanted a bit of shine so I applied …
By The Seashore Time
Last week was a busy week of making birthday cards – here’s one I made that works great as a masculine card using By the Seashore Stamp and French Foliage Stamp and the VersaMark Resist Technique. I love the colors and the illusion of depth. I got the idea for this card from Ilina Crouse. What do you think of it? Leave me a comment. Stamping Supplies …
Happy Birthday Cross My Heart
Here’s a card I made for my brother-in-law who was celebrating his birthday. My goal this year is to keep ahead and give cards to those who I need to on time, even the ones who celebrate birthdays in January – so close to Christmas! I think this is a great masculine card – don’t you think? Want to duplicate this card? Here are the stampin …
Everything Eleanor Happy Birthday
Here’s a birthday card I made for my wonderful sweet daughter-in-law. I always try to make a different kind of card for my family to make them feel extra special. I wanted to make a card where I could see the flower in the inside as well as the outside. I used the 1-3/4″ circle punch to make the opening. The outside edge of the …
