Red, White, and Blue ....

With Labor Day shortly around the corner I thought this card might be appropriate even though I made it for someones Fourth Of July Birthday.

Over the top of the back round I used a stamp that looked like cheese cloth and pressed gently all over not to capture the whole stamp and then used gold embossing powder.  I purchased decals from Michael's Craft Store for the firecrackers since I had no stamp.

This card was for a gentlemen who was reaching his 50th birthday.  So you may notice in the left and right side of the fire cracker there is a small 50 as though it was projecting from the fire cracker.

I was happy the way this card turned out and hope you enjoyed peeking as well?  

White and Cream...

The photography on this card is not to good.  But in real life it's so pretty.

It has a glittered paper back round with off white ribbon.

Using white die cuts really make the glitter back round pop.

This was an easy card that I needed for a going away party for a girlfriend.  She absolutely 

loved it and planned on keeping for old time sake.  Hope your day is going well? 

Through the Window Glass....

Don't we just love looking at a window as pretty as this and seeing pretty curtains and gorgeous flowers in front of it.  Well....I tried adorning the look of pretty lace curtains to this window and placing flowers at the sill with this card.  Seems you never can go wrong using pre-made Dementional flowers from K & Company, as used here.

 

I layed the card (down here in this picture) so you can see the light reflecting off of it and that there is a piece of clear plastic between the card stock. It helps it to feel like window glass.  I sent this to my niece for her Anniversary.  Hope she liked it?  I hope you do as well?

Thanks for peeking.....Hugs to all!

Light As A Feather....

Welcome back to my blog stampers.  Today I have two cards that are almost identical.  I'm naming them "Light As A Feather" because if you look closely at both cards you will notice I have a feather behind the dimensionals that I used and it adds a soft and warm feeling.

A dear friend of mine asked me to make two identical looking cards for her girlfriends birthday.  However, I wanted to make them feel a little more special to both of them without being totally identical.   So both have a subtle flare of their own.

I enjoyed making these and where relatively simple by adding the dimensionals and whimsey feathers that I had.  Hope you enjoyed stopping in today?

Wish....

I wished my girlfriend Sandy a lovely and special birthday while sending her this card.  It is another one of my clean and simple cards.   Sometimes I think clean and simple is somewhat harder to get a simple idea in my head rather than using lots of layers on my cards.

Sandy was so appreciative and said she saves each card I send to her each year. Knowing someone appreciates your efforts and that they save them makes me happy for the work involved.  It makes it even more special then to send them birthday wishes again each year.  ((((smiling))))!

I generally try to make cards to send in the mail that are not to thick so that I do not have to pay for extra postage.  This is one of them.

Hope your week is going well and your happy scraping?
