Birthday Bouquet

Hello Friends,

I make more Birthday cards than anything else - so of course - I have to share them here with you.  I made this card for a friend who has a summer birthday.  To me these flowers have a summer vibe.

 I used the Flower Pivot Panel from Karen Burniston to create this card.  You can see all the products I used linked below.

June Designer Challenge - Flag Colors

 Hello everyone,

It's Designer Challenge time once again and this month Karen has challenged the team with the theme "Flag Colors".  These colors are definitely patriotic, but I decided to go in a different direction.  We have an anniversary coming up (#62) so I decided to use the good ole Red, White and Blue to make a card for my sweet hubby. 

I used the Heart Pivot Panel with lots of hearts from different Karen Burniston dies.  You can see all the dies and products I used linked below.

Party Hat

Hello Friends,

Recently a friend asked me if I had a die for a pop-up party hat.  I did not have one so decided to create one.  I created the shape using my Scan n Cut but you could easily create this using the old school style, pencil and paper.  It is simply a triangle with a rounded bottom.  Then decorated.

I made it pop up in the center using the tab die from the Christmas Tree Pop Stand from Karen Burniston.  I added a festive pom pom on top and a matching ruffle at the bottom.  I must say I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.

Black & White with Red

 Hello friends,

I like watching YouTube videos about crafty card ideas.  I found this card on "Stamp Your Card" and had to try it with my own version.  The card on the video has a large flower in the center but since I needed a birthday card I decided to see if the  "Balloon Collage Add On" from Karen Burniston would fit inside.  I was so happy to find out that it did - here is my card with my own touch.

I made this card for a friend who loves black & white with red.

May Designers Challenge - Caffeinate

 Hey, it's Designer Challenge Day and this month Karen Burniston has asked us to use the theme of Caffeinate.

I decided to use a die I have not used in a while, the "Frame Pull".  I did make one small alteration which was to add a half inch to height and width of the square front to accommodate the coffee mug. That, of course, meant that I had to add half inch to the length of the pull tab.  I'm happy with the way it turned out, and you can see all the products I used linked below.

Cheers!

 Hello friends,

I made this card for our son - who likes beer.  I simply used some fun images from a paper collection and the Photo Gallery Pop-up from Karen Burniston.  This die set lends itself to any occasion and is easy to assemble.

Here is the assembly video for you -

From One Old Goat to Another

 Hi Friends,

I have a fun birthday card to share today.  My friend and I have a joke about being an old goat so when her birthday came, I just had to get in a dig.  I had to go back to some of Karen Burniston's dies from long ago to find "William" the goat for this card. I used the Fancy Accordion Die Set to finish off this card - combining the new with the old (goat)).
