July Birthday Cards

Two of my cousins have birthdays this month.  I made similar cards for them.

These are pretty straightforward.  I used Tim Holtz's "Drapery" embossing folder, then added a stick-on flower to the center.

I also had one "belated" card for July:

I used My Creative Time's "Stitched Surprise Pop-Out Card" die with some double-sided paper.  The little snail is from Your Next Stamp's "Smiley Happy Critter Crew Set Four."

Wedding Card

A friend asked me to make a wedding card for her grandson's special day, and I knew exactly which new die cut I wanted to use.

I started with Cream Shimmer cardstock by Papertrey Ink.  I die cut it using Taylored Expressions' "Mr. & Mrs. Cutting Plate," backed it with another larger piece of the Cream Shimmer, then added some faux pearls.

On the inside, I continued with the Cream Shimmer die cutting it with Spellbinders' Elegant Labels 4.  The sentiment is from My Favorite Things' "Together Forever" stamp set.
