For Aly

Happy birthday Alyson!

Hey everyone! Today is a very special day because it's my SIL's birthday. And it's an extra special one because she's turning the big something-whatchamacallit ;) I've seen these cards around and I thought it would be a fun one to make for her birthday card.

I used the Honeycomb Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (129378) from the Spring Catalog to emboss the card base, then used it on a piece of DSP from the Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack (129312). I cut out the little hexagon shapes and placed them randomly on the card. I wish there was a punch because I so did not cut them out right! hehe.

And of course, I had to use the Elegant Butterfly punch (127526) and the little flower punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack (118309). I also added some Pearl Basic Jewels (119247) to the butterfly and each flower. The "HAPPY Birthday" sentiment is from the Curly Cute stamp set (Clear 120510, Wood 117014).

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day :)

You're Such an Amazing Friend

Hello! Here is one of the cards that the ladies got to make in my Spring Catalog class. I wanted to make some clean and simple cards that would showcase some of the new items from the new Stampin' Up! Spring Catalog. Hope the ladies liked them! They got to make 6 cards and I'll be sharing them with you this week.

I've had my Whisper White Craft Pad (101731) for some time now and I was inspired by one of the cards from the Spring Catalog. I love flipping through SU catalogs to get ideas and inspiration.

And I really like the Amazing Family stamp set (Clear 129192, Wood 129189). You can show a friend, mother, brother, father and sister how amazing they are with this stamp set!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day :)

Happy Birthday Blossom

Hi! Here is a tri-fold birthday card for you today. I simply LOVE this Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper (127540) and what's even better is that you can get it for FREE!! Yup, it's that time again! SALE-A-BRATION :) wooohooooo! It's the best time to check things off of your wish list because with every $50 order, you get to choose a Sale-a-bration item for free! yay!

So, it's been awhile since I've added a flower on a card and I love using the Blossom Punch (125603) to punch out a few flowers, crumple them up and layer them together to add a little dimension to the flower.

And there's that Elegant Butterfly punch (127526) again. Yeah, it's another one of my favorites :) Oh and look, another lovely item that you can earn for free.... new Pool Party ribbon which you can get in the Sycamore Street Ribbon & Button Pack (130812).

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!!

And a little shout out to my friend and upline Nicole.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I'm hoping to get your card and gift to you soon. Enjoy your special day :)
