Elegant Birthday Card

I was asked to make a large card for the HR department at work for their manager. They wanted it elegant yet feminine. This card was 4 1/2 X 10. I needed to allow room so it would fit in a home made envelope using a 12 X 12 piece of paper.


The background design was a felt square I had in my stash from Prima, the flowers are miscellaneous from Michael's and Hobby Lobby, the silver glitter paper is DCWV.


The "Happy Birthday" is a sticker from Ecstasy Crafts


I thought it needed a little something extra so I added a small chain like ribbon that I got after Christmas on clearance

Michelle Zindorf Cards

Today I thought I'd share a couple cards I made using a couple tutorials from Michelle Zindorf. You can check out her awesome cards and tutorials HERE

I used all Close to my Heart inks and stamps.

Manly Cards

Here are a few cards that are a bit masculine. The backgrounds were created with Ranger alcohol inks on glossy cardstock. I used black Staz On for the images.

Sorry the pictures aren't the best, I had to use my phone the night I took them.




The trees, deer, and leaves are from Stampin Up and the sentiments are Close to my Heart.

Same Elements

Here are four cards using the same elements with different color schemes. All products are from Close to my Heart.

Cute Mini Album 2

I thought I'd continue the cute mini album theme with today's post. Since this album goes together so quickly and takes very little prep time I made several. I'll share a couple over the next few days.

This one I made from a summer collection from Kay and Company.
