Birthday Card 2022 for Carmel

My very most BFF loves red tones,
so for her birthday card I chose 
Blue Fern Studios beautiful collection, "The Bird Waltz".

I decorated this 6x6 card with a beautiful bird from the ephemera pieces 
that are part of the collection.  Each ephemera piece is trimmed in white, 
so I fussy cut this bird to eliminate the white edging. 

I just LOVE the new Sizzix Tiny Type Thinlits by Tim Holtz!
They are so perfect for cards!
These have become my 'go to' alpha dies.

I love to have flower arrangements on my cards.
This time, I used an elongated decorative metal bead cap 
as the 'holder' for a bouquet of flowers.  

 
And the inside of the card is just stunning!
Absolutely perfect for a nice personal, written note!

Thanks for viewing Carmel's card.
She is a huge constant part of my life.

Birthday Card 2022 for Paulette

 I've created a birthday card for Paulette - 
my very sweet, lovely friend.

Paulette's favorite color is purple,
so I used 49 and Market's Vintage Artistry Collection in Lilac.
49 and Market flowers in 'Huckleberry' colors and a few 
Wild Orchid Crafts flowers made a pretty purply flower arrangement!
Purple reindeer moss & a gorgeous hummingbird by ReneaBouquets
really dressed up the flower arrangement.

Let's look at some close ups:




I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE
the Sizzix Thinlits Tiny Type dies by Tim Holtz. 
They are perfectly sized for cards.


The inside computer printed sentiment is die cut 
and then layered on top of another die cut in a solid eggplant color....

Thanks for stopping by and viewing Paulette's card!

Have a great day
&
ALWAYS try to stay safe and healthy!
