This happy little elephant will gladly deliver birthday greetings. I used white card stock for the card. I then cut dark pink card stock 1/4 inch smaller than the white card. I next cut a pick card stock 1/4/ inch smaller than the dark pink. I wrapped the ribbon around the pink card and glued it . I stamped the little elephant on white card stock and colored him using stampin up inks. I punched some flowers and attached them to the four cornors and put rhinestones in the center of the flowers. I cut a piece of pink ribbon across the bottom of the card and put the greeting with the oval scalloped base and plain oval. Plain , easy and simple.


Made this cute Thank You card . I used a pre made card and added the red card stock. On top of that I used a white card stock I had stamped the Thanks verse. I used flowers to accent the card on the lower left hand corner. Up on the right I guled a metal heart and tied a bow to the center with red ribbon. I used the stickems to hold everything. I added some rhinestones tot he ribbon and heart.



Don't ask . I have this large bag of buttons and have to use them somehow. I figured a catipillar would do. I used a piece of yarn to string the buttons together. Then using a flowered card i blued the cute little guy to the card. I put some green dots all over the buttons . I put the greeding using the punch sets of the scalloped oval and the plain oval. I added a gift on the left using dimentions. Quick, easy and fast.


I still have one thing to add to this card. I used a premade card. I stamped the fish from a set I had. Then I stamped the fishing line on the same color. I punched the greetings and used brown brads to mount the greeting. I used dimentions to attach the fish and the greetings. Then I used the crystal effect on the fish that makes them shinny. I will be adding a fish hook with some twine attached on the lower left.



How about fishing in Louisiana. I used the stamp of of the fishing boys. I changed the scenery by using my cat tail stamp around the boat I used a tan card . Onto that I glued a dark brown card stock 1/4 inch smaller than the card. I next cut a striped scrapbook paper 1/4 ince smaller than the brown card stock. I also drew a cypress tree on the stripped paper. To give more dimention I added some of this silky string yarn to look like moss. I next glued the happy birthday greeting to the left.

Boogie Man in the sky on my way home.





This card was requested by a mom for her daughter who just became engaged. I used white card stock cut to the size of the envelope I had. I then used gray card stock as the background and white as the work area. I used the stamp from Stampin-up for the center design. I put tiny white pearls in the curling tips of the design. I placed two white flowers at each side. I placed the design on a piece of white card stock 1/4 " smaller than the gray cardstock . I then printed the wording for the top and bottom again using white and gray card stock. I had the black ribbon in my box and the design fit with the design on the card. At the fold of the card on the gray area, I placed a piece of black ribbon that I had knotted in several places( Tying the knot.) Inside I used a piece of gray and white for the wording by the mother. Very simple card, easy to make but elegant.

Hoppy Birthday



Excited frogs get to deliver birthday greetings. I used one piece of card stock to just fit my card and cut three squares to place my greeting and the frogs. The frogs are on dimentions



How is this pretty little girl. She is on two layers of card stock. I used the little hole brackets to punch on the left side of the card and ran a piece of paper ribbon through it and made a bow. I then glued everything to the card and added the birthday wish.


A simple red headed country girl bringing birthday wishes. Button flowers as accents and stitching lines around her picture.



What is better than a fishing trip with a buddy. I used a premade red card. I cut the gray and brown card stock to layer and then the picture on top. I used chalk to color and then put three dark colored brads as accent, I attached a cute charm of a fish on one of the fishing lines. I used a bait stamp to make the birthday blessing. I made two and used dimentions to seperate them.
