Dad's Birthday Card

I had to make this card in a hurry so there isn't much detail.  However I still love the way it turned out.  One of my newer things in cutting the front of the cards shorter and actually putting the sentiment on the inside.  I used George to cut out the letters and then just glued them on the a coordinating piece of light blue cardstock and the angleing the rectangle onto the striped background using pop dots.  I then used a white gel pen to add some jazz.  Created in December 2009

Birthday Daisies

Okies challenge for 9/2 sketch #2. Once again I got this paper at Joann's on sale for a dollar. I think this tablet was called fun in the sun. It is hard to tell but the plaid paper is also glittery. I have a few birthday's coming up so now I just have to decide who I am going to give this one to. I used a Martha Stewart punch for the ridges. (picked up at a garage sale) and then George to cut out all of the flowers. Since the background paper was glittery, I thought that the flowers should be too. Then I just stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment and attached it with brads to the top of the card.

9/18 I just gave this card to my boss today for her birthday. Happy Birthday Carol.

Name Card

Gloria I want you to know that I can change this to say Sheri. When I first started I thought Sheri was the one turning 60. So it wasn't until I reread my note that I noticed. This one would be my second fav. I hope this one will work for Sheri. I once again I like the birthday words so I just added the recipients name with little brads. I used George cartridge with the charm feature.

"60"

I Love to make age cards. Especially for the milestone birthday's. Gloria's sister is going to be 60, in case you couldn't guess that. At first when she asked me to make her a card she didn't mention her age. Once I found out it was a mile stone birthday I knew I couldn't let it go by with out making her a age card. I used Cuttin Up cartridge to you out the numbers and George for the flowers. Then I just embellished the numbers with tiny purple beads, you guesses it there are 60 in there. I hope you like this one Gloria. It's my fav.

60th Cupcake

Saturday I was hooked on cupcakes can you tell. I deiced to add some bling to this cupcake. So I used glitter on the icing, on the wrapper and for the sentiment.

Short Wave

This is another card with a shorter front. I love all of the birthday words, so I didn't want to cover them up, but other wise it looked to plain. I will have to post the inside separately, because it keeps putting that picture first.

Make A Wish

I just recently came across some of the Martha Stewart punches. I found them at a garage sale for a fraction of the cost. I used the star one on this card. The front of this card is shorter than the back (hence that why my husband is holding it) This is a new technique that I am trying. I like the idea of being able to see the sentiment from the front and the inside. I used another birthday paper for the front, and the purple is just the reverse side. Then I made my own rub on "Make A Wish!"

Party Hat Card

I used the same technique as on the previous one. Still I had forgot to mirror the image. I am more happy with this 2nd attempt. Doodlecharms was also used for this one. My wonderful husband found the doodlecharms cartridge on sale and ordered it for my today. It is suppose to be for my birthday in October. Maybe he'll forget and I will still get something Else.

Shape Gift Card

So this was my first attempt at a shape card. It turned out pretty good I guess. I wish that I would have turned to pattern the other way. I was in a hurry because I had only rented the doodlecharms cartridge and it was due back in 30 mintues. so I just cut out 2 presents how ever I forgot to do a mirror image, so I had to cut the back of the card the old school way, trace and cut. I hope you like it. I used Doodlecharms

Fuzzy Pink Poka Dots

As you can tell I have been very busy today making cards. Thanks to the rain. I love this paper, the pink dots are fuzzy, and fun. I bought this last fall to you as a birthday card for my youngest sister, however I went a different route. Actually I just couldn't bring myself to cut it. But after seeing this beautiful creation come from it I am glad that I did.

Birthday Crayon Technique

Okie's 8/18 challenge Sketch #3. The twist on this sketch was to use a new technique. I decided to reminisce about grade school and melt crayon shaving between wax paper. This wasn't a difficult project, however it wasn't exactly like I remember it. But I do love how it turned out.

Strawberry Birthday

Okie's 8/18 challenge Sketch #2. For this sketch we were to use a cartridge that we hadn't used it 6 months. Well this worked out great for me, I just bought the Indie Art cartridge today. Yesterday my bosses included a gift card in with my paycheck. It was a thank you gift for working extra hours and picking the slack for another lady off on medical leave. So I treated myself.

Lori's Ladybug Birthday

Okie's 8/4 Challenge Sketch #1

I decided to make the Okie's challenge sketch #1 a birthday card for a co-worker's birthday. Which was today. She didn't tell anybody that today was her birthday so, it will be belated. I can't remember what cartridge I used to cut the ladybug. I had it on hand left from another project. But the flower is from George and the paper is from Joann's. Happy Birthday Lori!

Make A Wish

Okie's 7/29 Challenge Sketch #1

This was my first challenge card. I am very proud of it. I would have never made this card on my own. But I am thinking of using it for my best friends upcoming birthday.

Party Time Card

I have made this card several times. I mostly use it for birthday's but it could be used as an invitation for a cocktail party. I used Cuttin Up cartridgeI gave this to my boss last year for her birthday, she absolutly loves margs. She was so impressed by my card that she framed it. I was really touched. I have also made this card in the past for a 21st birthday with a pink glass and a cosmo recipe on the inside. May 2008

Kelsey's 18th Birthday

Last year my sister celebrated her 18th birthday. So I whipped this little number up. I used the Cuttin Up cartridge for the flowers. I know it is hard to see, but the flowers are glittery. November 2008
