July Birthdays


First up in July is my nephew Wyatt's 6th Birthday.  I ended up using a a swap card that I received for his birthday so I won't post it here since it wasn't my work.

My hubby turned 50 on the 16th.  I needed a card with some serious wow.  He is used to getting cards from me so I wanted this one to stand out.  This is what I came up with…


My friend Karina also celebrated her birthday in July.  I felt great pressure to make her a great card because she is a demonstrator who I stamp with frequently. I water coloured the paper by misting my clear blocks after laying down some ink with markers (Pool Party, Pear Pizzaz & Wisteria Wonder). I then stitched that paper (mounted on Pool Party card stock) onto a Window Sheet card base with my sewing machine. I stamped the flower from Blooming Wishes on the water coloured paper & the butterfly on scrap card stock from Papillion Potpourri stamp set, coloured it with marker (So Saffron) & attached to the front of the card.  I then stamped the sentiments from Petite Pairs on the Window Sheet & embossed with black.  The large clothespin has my friends Website banner modpodged on to the front to hold the card.  It is a small gift that she can use to display cards at her events.
