Sweet Birthday Wishes!

Hey, everyone!

This is another heavy birthday month for my family. My baby boy turns 3, my aunt and cousin have a birthday only three days before his and my oldest sister's birthday is in two more days. My nephew (her son) will have a birthday on the 22nd! School starts on Javan's birthday and I am starting a new job, working 40 hours a week, so this is a very full and busy month!

Do you keep a stash of cards? I always think I will but I give them away just as fast as I make them! I'm not sure how long I will hang on to this one but it was so fun to make. This is the third card we made in our card class. We created some dimension with the Scor-Bug by embossing some lines near the bottom. Not sure you can see it very well here but it was so fun! Hope you like it!

Quick and Easy Easel Card

Hey, everyone!

Yesterday I had the privilege of meeting two sisters, Betty and Kathleen, for a little stamping fun! What wonderful women they are! Their mother is so precious, too!! Betty had asked me about showing her The Angel Company catalog and magalogues. She had also wanted to see and try out the Scor-Pal. You all know how much I love my Scor-Pal!! This card is a very quick and easy card to create with the Scor-Pal and so much fun to give, too!

The paper is from TAC and is called Amberley Grace. Isn't it beautiful? I love the soft colors and thought it was too pretty to cover up with an image!

We stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from Trendy Greetings in Noir Palette Hybrid Ink. The white circle measures 1¼" and is stamped with a sentiment from Tag Tidbits. The blue circle is 1½" and is popped up. The "Celebrate" sentiment is from Little Cupcake in our new Serendipity Street!

I really enjoy using that stamp set a lot! The center "celebrate" and the "it's your day" sentiment along with the "Happy Birthday" phrase all were traced with the Clear Stardust Glitter Gel Pen to add plenty of sparkle! The cardstock base measures 4" x 8" and is scored at 2" and 4" with the Scor-Pal.

Have a great day!

We interrupt the usual Wednesday posting....

Hey, everyone!

I have a card class today in my home. We're making 4 cards and I hope they have as much fun creating them as I did! I know this is supposed to be my usual Wednesday Kinda Sketchy post but I decided to share this with you instead.
This is a Faux Pinwheel card. The sentiment says "hello there" and it is from Tag Tidbits by The Angel Company. The designer paper, Amelia, is from TAC, as well.
I had a lot of fun creating this special card! It's a Joy Fold card featuring two stamp sets in Serendipity Street. The cupcake is from Little Cupcake and I used my Stardust Glitter Gel Pens to add the shimmer!

When you open it up, it says Cupcakes make everything better! This sentiment is from For Someone Special. You get 8 of these sweet sentiments for only $5.95!! The paper is Reece which is on special this month! You buy one pack and you get another one free!

You know how much I love the More Mimi double sided designer paper we carry! This is a really great technique to use this paper with. It's an Origami Faux Shadow Box fold. Super easy to do! The sentiment is from Celebration Time and stamped in Belle Rose ink. I added some sparkle with the Stardust Glitter Gel Pen.

Mother's Day is next month and I know exactly who I want to give this card to. In real life it is super shimmery and I love, love, love it! The butterfly is from Butterfly Swirls. I stamped it on Angelee and paper pieced it, then fussy cut it out. I added some Scrapper's Floss to the back of the butterfly to replace the antennas I cut off. I colored it with my black Tombow marker. Love that I can do that with my white Scrapper's Floss. The sentiment is from Trendy Greetings and I used the clear Stardust Glitter Gel Pen on it, too. The butterfly is up on a pop dot for added dimension. I curled the wings up and inward slightly. I love it!

If you didn't sign up for this class but would still like a kit, the cost is $10, plus s/h if I need to mail it out. Hope you have enjoyed today's post. I will be back tomorrow!

Angel Hugs,
