Spring Bouqet Birthday Card

We are certainly ready for spring. These tulips were made using the wing from the bird builder punch from stampin up. The definition is added by sponging the edges with similar shade of ink. I really enjoy using stamps and dies designed for one thing and giving them anther purpose.

Another Wedding Card

Isn't this the cutest card?  I was at an Open House at a craft store yesterday .  One of the Make It, Take It cards used this "doily dress".   I needed another wedding card and adapted some other card ideas to come up with this one.

Stone Gate Easel Card

This easel card was made using several different dies.   The stone fence and archway give that country feeling.   The yellow birds,  birdhouse and the clouds in the sky complete that sense of spring in the air.   All these dies were purchased from Ecstasy Crafts.   They are dry embossed for added texture.   

The "In my Thoughts" was also purchased from Ecstasy Crafts.   The flower supporting the easel card is one of the Stand Up Helper dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs.  What a neat way to keep a flat card for mailing but support for the easel.  

This is a side view of the easel card.  Very easy to make, thanks to all the dies.

wedding Cards

It is the season for weddings.    This was a card I made using the Sweetheart and Wedding cartridges on my cricut machine.   It was fun trying to match the wedding colors.  

This card was made for a co-worker who just got married in Cuba.   I used the Circle Accordion Die from Elizabeth Craft Designs.     I really love the versatility of the dies from this site.
