Happy Birthday

Another shabby chic birthday card for you. For this card, I’m way ahead since this person’s birthday isn’t until April. 🙂 The greeting is from the retired Happy Birthday Thinlits Dies. I used the Gold Foil Sheets to make the greeting pop! The flowers are non-SU and I’ve had them in my stash for several years. I added the retired Gold Sequin Trim for a little bling. Thank you for… Read More »

Happy Birthday BJ

Need to make lots of birthday cards this month – two female and three males! Today’s card is for my nephew who is an avid Cowboys’ fan! The cowboy print and greeting was computer generated but I did use the Stitched Rectangle Dies to die cut the greeting. The stars are from the retired Star Framelits. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals on the stars and greetings to give the card a… Read More »

Happy Birthday Deena

Today’s post features a shabby chic card for my daughter. I am using 90% non-SU products for her card. I won’t name the online companies I purchased from because as a Stampin’ Up! I cannot promote other card making businesses. The only SU products I used are the Gray Granite Card Stock for the card base, sprigs, and the ribbon from the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack. I also used… Read More »

Hello March

Is March coming in like a lion and going out like a lamb in your area? It’s coming in like a lamb in our neck of the woods. Either way, I am happy because Winter is leaving and Spring is almost here! I wanted a very spring looking card for the 1st day of March. I don’t have a SU stamp set that has a lamb in it so I… Read More »

Peaceful Place – Happy Birthday Michael

The Peaceful Place Stamp Set is full of tranquility and peace, which all of us need sometimes. I am using it for my brother’s birthday. I love the way this came out. The first time I stamped it, I colored it with the Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Pencils and didn’t like it. So I stamped it again and used the Stampin’ Blend Markers. What a huge difference! One of the best… Read More »

Number of Years

Today’s post features the retired Number of Years Stamp Set Bundle. I made this card for my wonderful son-in-law, Gary, who will be turning 60 next month. WOW, I can’t believe I have a 60 year old son-in-law! Can you believe I sold it when it first retired and then about a year later I wanted it? Thank goodness I was able to find a used set in good condition.… Read More »
