Birthday Card for a Friend


Good Morning,

I promised this card a day or so ago, but sometimes life just gets in our way of doing things we have planned.

This Birthday Card is for a friend who has already celebrated her birthday, but I had already gave her a gift just didn't have the card.

Here is the card:
 This card was made using:  brown card stock for the base/pink patterned paper/another layer of patterned paper/ then used strips for the side of different papers layered on a punched edge
piece/circles are Marvy Punch/Stamped greeting is Stampin Up.
small pearls added as well as small flowers with pearl center/I also used the paper piercer to edge around some of the paper on the side bar/topped with brown ribbon.

Thanks so much for looking.
I see where there are folks viewing my blog, I encourage you to leave me some comments for at least check mark what you think of the card at the bottom.

I hope to come back in a day or two with another birthday card
for another friend.

Have a wonderful day!!

Good Morning,

Today is the last grad card I have to share with you.
I hope you have enjoyed the other cards and have used the ideas on your
own creations.  I use the Mojo Monday sketches on these cards because sometimes
ideas are hard to come up with, this is a great way to get your motivation back when
your brain can't seem to help you out.

Todays Card:

I know that these cards have been very simular, two of them are for twin girls, so I made them look simular for that reason.  The other one is for my son's girlfriend, so I made hers to look like the twins only because they are all good friends.
I used Stampin Up stamps/cuddlebug embossing folders/scalloped circle punches from marvy/grad hat from quick kuts (sp)/and the poka dot paper is a paper pack purchased at Joann's/other label punches are from stampin up/the number punches I purchased at a sale and have no clue what brand.

I hope you have enjoyed the grad cards, I hope I am done with them.  I am hoping to move on to some other theme.  I will post a Birthday card tomorrow???
Have a great Sunday

Hello and Good Saturday Morning,

I am back this morning with another graduation card.  I have only one more to share with you tomorrow, so we will be done with the grad cards.  I have a couple of Birthday cards made up and a baby card and will share those with you later on.

Purple and Gold is the theme for this card also.  I haven't received any cards from grads from any other school so I don't get to make any other color, however, they don't have to be the school colors of the grad.

Here is the card:

Most of the elements I used for this card are from Stampin UP, but some stamping was Hobby Lobby stamps, the scalloped circles are punches from Marvy, and some label punches from Stampin UP. Ribbon/stampin up.  Ink/Memento

Thanks for looking

Graduation card purple and gold

Hello,

Today I am back with another graduation card.  I know you all are probably going to get sick of
seeing the same colors in my grad cards but I try to make them with the colors of the school the are graduating from.  Purple and Gold is probably a common color style for a lot of schools, but you can use any colors to make this card. I used supplies from Stampin Up, Quik Kuts, and embossing folders from cuddle bug.....

Thanks for looking

WOW!! Am I back?

HELLO,

Well, I don't know how long I can keep posting, but I have been making a few cards lately and I will try to post one when I can. 

I have found it hard to have the time to make cards.  I keep busy with the house, the outdoors and all the things that includes, but yesterday my cousin and I got together and made a few graduation cards, so I will be sharing those with you today.

You may find that they all tend to look simular, and that is probably true, but all the graduates I am making cards for are from the same school, so the colors will all look alike.

Here is the first card:  This was patterned from Mojo Monday sketch Monday 216 probably an older sketch.

For the front of the card I used Black as the base card, I used white cardstock on the layer and embossed it the swiss dot embossing folder.  I used the graduation hat cutting die from quik kuts, black brads for the hat and the stamp is from Stamping Up, I decorated the black back tab with a punch border.

The inside of the card I used white cardstock and embossed it with a embossing folder that was perfect for a congratulations greeting.  The little black folder is from sizzix and I made a small band on the inside to put money, the greeting was a stamp from Stamping Up.

Well, that is all I have today, I have a few more cards I will share with you but that is all for today.
I just hope I can keep stopping by for more cards.

Thanks for looking
