A Thank You Card!

This is a Thank You card that I created using Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge #43 (WSC43). Love her challenges!!!

I made this card for a fellow blogger, Mercy over at Lord Have Mercy, because I won some fantastic blog candy from her. Check out her blog! She does some fantastic work! All products are from Stampin' Up! except for the little rhinestones that are from KaiserCraft and the embossing folder from Provo Craft for the Cuttlebug. I used whisper white, pretty in pink, and barely banana card stock. I used my pretty in pink, barely banana markers, and the flower from the So Much set to create the background for this card. For the pretty in pink strip, I first used my corner rounder to create the scalloped edged, then I dry embossed it using the Birds and Swirls embossing folder in my Sizzix machine. (I do not have a Cuttlebug!) For the next part of the card, I cut out my layers, rounded two of the corners with the corner rounder, and then glued them together. I Then punched out a scallop circle out of both barely banana and pretty in pink with the scallop circle punch. I stamped the Thank you from the Much Appreciated set in pretty in pink. Then I punched it out using the 1 3/8 circle punch and layered that on top of the scalloped circles. For a final touch I added two pink rhinestones that I won from the blog candy to the corners!

Thanks for looking!!! Have a great day!

A Few Birthday Cards!

Wow time has just been flying by!!! I have been sooo busy lately I have not had time to post anything!!!

We have had a lot of birthdays in our family lately so I have been making a lot of cards!!! I made this card for my brother whose birthday was a few days ago! All products are from Stampin' Up! The set is Birthday Whimsy from Sale-a-Bration! I also use the dotted circle stamp from So Much for the background. I used several In Colors. For the card stock, I used soft sky, blue bayou, chocolate chip, close to cocoa, wild wasabi, river rock, and whisper white! I used soft sky, blue bayou, and wild wasabi classic ink. I also used the 1 3/8 and 1 1/4 circle punches. I also used my mat pack and my paper piercing tool to create a fun effect. I cut out the balloons and then layered them with dimensionals. I glued some cotton string to each of them and then tied the string together with blue bayou double stitched ribbon!

My sister also made a card for our brother! She used the Birthday Whimsy set also! Didn't she do a great job! She used soft sky, close to cocoa, and blue bayou cs. She used close to cocoa classic ink to stamp the main image and the saying! She used the mat pack and the paper piercing tool for the corners! I think it turned out great!!!

My mother-in-law came over and also created a birthday card for one of her sons that I have to get a picture of to show you all! She did a fantastic job with limited supplies and time!!!
