Happy Birthday!

My DIL is having a surprise party this weekend

for her 30th birthday.

As you all know, I love to revamp gift bags,

so this is a remake of a Bath & Body Works bag.

I started with the birthday cake from SYI cut @ 5"

I used the shadow and layers of the same size

and embossed each one in a different style.

The Happy Birthday is an SVG cut,

and is popped for dimension along with the candles on the cake top.

 The other side started with the coordinated pink mat,

topped with a CB embossed "happy birthday" white mat.

The scrollwork and "K" are from SB and is cut on pink and black glitter paper.

The 3D bow is a free SVG cut and I knew I just had to try it!

The bow is cut from purple glitter paper and is accented

by sprigs from my favorite MS punch.

The cute little dragonflies are punched from various shiny stock.

To finish it all off, I added coordinating tissue paper.....

and of course, her gift!
This bag is so much prettier than the picture shows -
the embossing and glitter papers really make it special!

Thank you

I made this card to thank my dear friends, Brian and Lynn.

As a "thank you" to me for taking card of their horses while they

were away for a few days, they gave me a lovely fountain.

So, as a thank you in return, I made this card.

 

 

The thank you is from NR, the fencing is OW,

the grass is PS, and the horse is Noah's ABCs.

I punched the edges with my new Fiskar's punch that I won in

a contest last week!  (I love it!)

The horse was embossed and popped for dimension.

 

 

The fall leaf cluster is a free SVG cut.

A personal message and this simple card is complete.

Nature's Splendor

Here is my inspirational project for the end of summer.

I started with a lime green center-step card that is 5 1/2 x 7 1/2 when finished.

 

 

The zebra is a free SVG file that I found online,

and it is absolutely gorgeous!

The plant is PDDU and is cut 2x and popped.

The butterfly is HD and is cut 3x and popped.

The dragonfly and the bottom banner are punches that I use all the time.

 

To add some bling to the front, I used Glossy Accents

on the zebra eye and nose, small green gemstones on the banner,

while the dragonflies and butterfly are cut from glitter paper.

There is so much dimension on the front of this 3D card that

it naturally catches the eye as you pass by it.

 

 

The inside is finished with an original verse situated

on the top end of the cardstock so you may add a personal sentiment before sending.

The butterfly stamp has been colored with pencils

and "blinged" with Glossy Accents on the wings and bubbles.

The green gems were repeated to enhance the antennae.

I just love the finished project and look forward to your comments.

What a lucky day!

My "Back 2 School" centerstep card design sure was a lucky one for me -

It won both the Go Fish and Creative Cutter Challenges!

I was also the lucky winner of a Fiskars prize

from the Signature Series giveaway!
This was also a Top 5 pick at Fantabulous Cricut. 

I'm off to play the lottery!
