Niece's 50th Birthday

It's hard to believe my niece is turning 50 next week.  I thought I'd go for something pretty instead of something funny - I imagine she'll get plenty of those cards.

This card is created with three layering dies from Birch Press Design, "Peony Bloom," layers A, B and C.  No stamping on this card, just die cuts from different paper colors.

Hello Kitty Cat II

My vet is also a neighbor, so I wanted to make a card for his birthday today since he takes such good care of my cats.

Once again I used the "Cat Dog Card" die set from Paper Smooches, and I still don't know which company the "Hello" is from.  The patterned paper as well as the edges of the cat are die cut with the rectangle shape from "Bundle of Stitched Shapes" from Simon Says Stamp.

The sentiment on the inside is from the "Furever Friends" stamp set by Sunny Studio.  It was die cut with the second smallest die from the "Cross-Stitch Rectangle STAX" by My Favorite Things.

Hello Kitty Cat

I've been wanting to try out a die set I got recently, and it just happens that I have three cat loving friends with birthdays soon, so here's my chance.

The die set I used to create the cat is the "Cat Dog Card" die set from Paper Smooches.  Unfortunately, I don't know which company the "Hello" is from.

Llama Llove

Another birthday card for a dear friend.

The starry background, and stitched circle opening are from "Starry Circle," and the stamped images are from "Llama Love" - all by My Favorite Things.  The stitched rectangle is from "Bundle of Stitched Shapes" by Simon Says Stamp.  On the inside is a sentiment from the "Llama Love" stamp set that says "Another birthday?  No Prob-llama."

Get Well

I don't usually have need of get well cards, but I'm glad I had a stamp set for the occasion.

All the images are from "On the Mend" by Lawn Fawn.

I Wheelie Like You

My grandnephew's birthday is a week and a half away.  This is the card I made for him.

The sentiment and images are from "Wheelie Like You" by Lawn Fawn.  The patterned paper is "Nancy" by Lawn Fawn.  The circle and rectangle backgrounds are "Double Stitched Circle STAX" and "Double Stitched Rectangle STAX" by My Favorite Things.

First Card for 2017

Somehow November and December slipped by without a single card being made 😞, so I wanted to jump right in to the New Year with a birthday card.

I had seen this cute card format on the Paper Smooches website and thought I would CASE it.  The snowman ("Melted Snowman") and sentiment ("warm wishes") are both from Paper Smooches.  The hills are from "Stitched Slopes and Hills" by Simon Says Stamp, and the blue patterned paper is from Lawn Fawn.
