I'm Back!

Wow, I can't believe it's been 7 days already since my last post!  Yes, I know I have a lot of catching  up to do for all those days I was M.I.A, so I'll just get right to posting.  Since I have so many bday cards/projects in my library, I thought I'd just share 7 of them today. How's that for catching up? Hope you like!

PURSE CARD 2

Purse Card 2 - Front

                              

Purse Card 2 - Inside

I made these beautiful purse cards using the Ultimate Crafter's Companion along with very pretty cardstock, paper rosettes, cuttlebug scribble flower die and CB d'vine swirl embossing folder and ribbon that I had in my stash. A lightweight cardstock, with an origami fold, was used on the inside. These purses are simple, yet elegant and were really a breeze to make with the crafters companion. I really love them both!

                      

SIMPLY FEMININE - PINK & WHITE

Pink & White Birthday Card

                                 

Pink & White Card with Envelope

For this feminine card I layered the white card base with pink gingham vellum, then layered again with white cardstock embossed with the cuttlebug leafy branch embossing folder. I added die cuts made using the cuttlebug scribble flower die, Spellbinders butterflies 2, spellbinders labels 4, cuttlebug d'vine swirls and swiss dots embossing folders. For the finishing touches I stamped the sentiments in green ink, added a few white fabric rosettes, leaves and off course, ribbon! The coordinating envelope was made using the ultimate crafter's companion and spellbinders labels 4.

FLEUR DE LIS

Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Pendant

 My step-mother's bday card made using spellbinders pendant Fleur De Lis, Cuttlebug 2x2 Vintage die and CB Fleur de Lis Embossing Folder. To complete the card I added tied a bow in the middle of the pendant, added fabric rosettes, pearls and a tag with a hand stamped happy birthday sentiment.  

MY FIRST EASEL CARD

 

Happy Bday - Easel Card

This is my older sister's bday card and also my first easel card! For this card I used spellbinders labels 4, labels 8, labels 9, scalloped rectangles, fancy tags, cuttlebug embossing folders D'vine Swirls and Swiss Dots, cuttlebug birthday wishes A2 combo die, celebration corner punch,  Whiff of Joy stamp - Musing Melinda, prismacolour pencils, fabric rosettes, bling and ribbon.  I recall this card being tedious, now I realize why!!!! If I didn't know any better myself, I would think that I used every supply I had at the time on this card 

FLOWER POT CARD

Spellbinders Sunflower 2 - FRONT

  

Sunflower 2 - INSIDE

This was a simple but nice card that was made for Joey, my older sister's godchild. I used Spellbinders Sunflower 2, labels 3, ribbons tags trio, Fiskars border punch - Leaf, ribbon and handstamped sentiments on this card. 

PEONY BOUQUET & EXPLOSION BOX 



Peony Flower Pot Card



My younger sister's bday card, which was also my first flower pot card, was made using Spellbinders Peony, Cuttlebug BDay Wishes Combo, CB distress embossing folder, brads, 3D dragon fly sticker, artifical green stems and ribbon. Yet another tedious card!



Peony Card & WOJ Explosion Box

I decided to make a coordinating explosion box to go along with the Peony bouquet card.  I used the same cardstock combination for the card and the box. I also used Spellbinders labels 4, Fancy Tags, CB BDay Wishes combo, CB Bloom Dots Embossing Folder, Fiskars Border Punch - Sunburst, 3D butterfly and floral stickers, WOJ stamp - Musing Melinda, stencil kit, Prismacolor pencils, ribbon and handstamped sentiments. A birthday cake candle was placed in the center of the box. This combo actually turned out quite nice.
