Flowering Happy Birthday Tree

Good Morning!
Today I am posting a picture of a
card that I made for my Sister In Law
Her birthday is next week, I thought I would
get a head start on my cards for the next few weeks.


The background paper is embossed
with Cuttlebug Happy Birthday Embossing Folder,
the tree is QuickKutz Tree. I glued several different color
flowers that I purchased off eBay a couple of years ago.

I now have a fan page on Facebook and you can follow me on
Pinterest. The link buttons are on the right hand side of my
Blog.
Happy Wednesday!

Cascading Birthday Card

Tomorrow is my daughter's 12th Birthday.
Here is the card I made her.

I did it! Oh Yes! I did!
I made a Cascading Card
Here is the address to the blog where I got the instructions.
Chris has made some Amazing Cards. She is an inspiration.

The Card Base is Bazzill Clover Leaf.
The Tree Trunk I had laying around after playing with
Sizzix Scary Tree Die and my
Tree Trunk Stamp.
The tree doesn't look so scary with the flowers and butterfly.
I also used Scallop Nestabilies
Sizzix Sizzlits Letters
Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch the small one.
Martha Stewart Butterfly Boarder Punch
EK Butterfly Larger Punch
Fiskars Medium Flower Punch
Stampin' Up Owl Punch for the center of the flower
Stampin' Up Bird Punch for the leaves


This card took me about 3 days to make.
I started with no plan. I love the look of this card.
I hope you enjoy this card.

Happy 12th Birthday to my Darling Daughter!!
You are God's Blessing!!

Pop Up Birthday Card

Wow! I have not post on here in a long time.
That does not mean I am not crafting.
Does not mean I am not posting on the internet.
Just means I am not keeping up with my blog. :-(

Here we go!

My 11 year old daughter and I made this Pop Up Birthday Card
for her friend who turned 12 years old.
Here is a picture of the inside. I just love that puppy and the balloons.
The balloons is where my daughter discovered EMBOSSING.
LOL! She we was so thrilled with embossing
she knocked my Cuttlebug on the floor. :-)
We got the idea for the Pop Up from Valita's Designs & Fresh Folds
I just love her blog and her cards.
I don't know if I am posting this right or not I am hoping it makes a link.
But here is the web address.

Here is the front of the card. Those 12 candles were
hand cut and we used a flower punch to make the tips of the candles.


Here is the tag for the gift bag.
My daughter was so excited about the card that she told
her friend we were making her card.
I assume she has told all of her friends that we
make cards with our Cricut, because that was the first thing her friend asked.

I have a Cricut but I don't use it much.
The only thing that was made with the Cricut was the
tag that the pink puppy dog is on.

Here is a list of what was used for the is card.
Die Cut Sizzix Cake 656373
Quickutz Limited Edition dog REV-0223-S
Martha Stewart Balloon Punch
Martha Steward Fence Border Punch
Cuttlebug Swirls Embossing Folder


I will be posting some new tags I have made soon.

Happy Mother's Day!

Wow! What a beautiful warm Sunny Day! Except we forgot to take pictures. My husband made a great breakfast of Egg Omelets and Hash Browns. Then he made me, my mother and my MIL BBQ Chicken on the grill. It was tasty. He bought me a Gorgeous Calla Lilly for the Garden. I really need to take a picture. I have never seen anything like it. Wow! And a gift card to have my nails done with my Darling Daughter.

Darling Daughter made me 2 cards and a bookmark and then bought me a card from Hallmark. WoW! Three cards from one child!

I am blessed!

Here is the card I made for my mother. It is a pocket card. I did not intend to irritate but it was kind of fun watching her try to open it. ;-) You would still think I was a teenager with a little bit of rebellion going on. But she enjoyed it the card. There was not much room to write. So it was short and sweet and the Gift Card was behind the flowers.
