Tee-Riffic!

Our son just had a birthday, and one of his favorite things to do is play golf.
(we do live in Arizona, ya know....)  

So I decided to create a Thank you card, that highlights something he loves.
And this is what I created....


A Muse Studio has a "grass" die, that I use for many of my projects,
and it worked beautifully in this one.  It was perfect for my golf cart.
Paper Smooches provided all the other images...
the golf cart, the saying, and the cute bubble....
and the 3D foam adhesive was a great way to 
make the comment "pop"!
Fun huh??

Thanks for visiting!

Something different...

I decided to try something different.  I made a card using an image created  from a die as my focal point.

In this card I punched out the image and adhered it to the apricot cardstock with 3D foam adhesive.  The cardstock was stamped with the sheet music background stamp. (using a masking technique)
The effect is simple, yet very striking.  

The ocean cardstock that I used to make the cake, I also used to make the banner at the bottom.
Me likey!

Congratulations!

When great things happen to great people, they need to be celebrated!
My sister-in-law just got a new job, 
and we wanted her to know how excited we are for her.
So...I created this card.


This Paper Smooches stamp set, is just adorable.
For the clouds I stamped the cloud image on the gingham cardstock
and cut it out and attached it to the card.
Coloring with copics added the color to the helicopter and
a spika glitter pen, added sparkle to the blades.

Have a wonderful creative day!

Just another...

....Birthday!
A buddy of my son is turning thirteen, so I created this card for him.
3D foam squares add a nice touch.
It makes the cupcake just "pop" off the card.
Are you using twine in your card designs?
I purchased quite a few colors, and love the effect.
Hope you do too! 


Have a great day!
