My Daughter's CAS Birthday Card

A REASON TO CELEBRATE - MY DAUGHTER'S BIRTHDAY !

My leopard wishing my daughter would hurry up and wake up

so we can get on with celebrating her birthday!

Here is my daughter's birthday card for her 26th year! She is still an adorable,

young, pretty and pleasant young lady!

I am SO VERY PROUD of - and she loves colour, bright colours in a bright world,

so I tried to give it to her with this card. [plus a "few" - ahem - birthday gifts]

FRONT - notice I forgot my 'h' in birthday? I was so caught up trying to write

in a fun style that I misspelled the word, lol.

Supplies: Heidi Swapp cardstock and circle punch, Sizzlits 'Cherish' alphabet dies,

markers, chalk, brad, and sewing machine.

This is a pretty easy card to whip up - white base, cut out some colourful alphabets and randomly

punch a bunch of circles from pretty cardstock. Add a heart accent, brads, glitter...then use

your own hand to print out a word or two. You can opt as I did to add more colour with

sweeping brushes of chalk! Pretty easy. You can sew on the circles as I did [because I have

been dying to try that look!!]...or just glue them on.

I found it all very fun - its like bringing out your inner child :)

Inside...

....continued to just have a fun time expressing my "love you" using alphabet letters,

a heart and the same fun style lettering by hand. So fast'n'easy to just slap a wide band of glitter glue

onto heavy cardstock ( 110 lb - so the moisture in the glitter glue won't buckle the paper).

More random choices of colour - pretty!

She loved it :)

And I love her.

YNS Challenge #3 YNSC3

Hi folks, Having fun this week playing with my fav summer theme of sea creatures! And to justify it even more, I am playing along with YOUR NEXT STAMP's CHALLENGE #3 "Anything Goes"! You can see their challenge details HERE ! Deadline is Weds. midnight. I already was toying with ideas involving 3D projects lately and wanted to do something within a frame, and so I put two'n'two together and here is my entry....my " Mermaids Playing in the Sun Shadow Box ". The frame was one I had for awhile, maybe two years? And my stamps from Your Next Stamp are the adorable mermaid set, Happy Birthday Mermaid which I acquired about two years ago also! Coincidence - I think not! LOL! Later I plan to embellish this even more once I find my darn box of tiny shells! Maybe some charms? Heck who knows! :) I am going to write up a more detailed post about creating this by the week-end, so return here if you care for that. Tomorrow I am going to be trainin...

Beautiful Birthday Card from my Daughter

I was ' speechless ' on my birthday when my daughter presented me with her own hand-made card for me! Reason is that when we got up that morning we were in each other's company and yet somehow she managed to sneak off into my craft room and pull this together without me knowing it - - I was totally caught off guard, lol -- and loved it!!! She has always impressed me with her creativity because she doesn't do hand-craft items very often - she is more of an 'online creator' - I have her to thank for all my web banners and general blog technical help :) I was happy to see the cute butterfly resting on the branch, that is something I would not of thought of! Anyways, it was a lovely gesture and a thoughtful card. Beverly SUPPLIES LIST Stampin' Up! Eastern Bloom and Kindred Spirit stamp sets. Bella Rose Designer Paper Pink Pirouette cardstock.

Fun with Tags!

That is exactly what I had with this tag.....amongst all the oodles of cards I am making for a craft fair coming up, I am taking breaks by making projects that use all kinds of different elements. Sort of like a cardstock 'stew', lol. Cute Gift Tag or Notecard TAG BASE 1. First, I started with a small piece of cardstock of 3 x 6 inches, folded to create a square 3 x 3 inch tag. 2. I layered a BAJA BREEZE cardstock square on top of the tag - I used my SCALLOP TRIM CORNER PUNCH to create the pretty corners! 3. To rev it up a bit, I glittered the bottom of the tag with some of Dazzling Diamonds. TAG DECORATION 4. I stamped my lil' WALRUS on a punched out '1-3/4 in.' Circle of Whisper White cardstock - then while I "maske...
