Birthday Card 2022 for Michelle

I made a birthday card for one of my very dearest friends, Michelle.  
Michelle's favorite color is teal 

and this gorgeous paper collection is just perfect for her!

Using the Tim Holtz Tiny Type dies, 

I spelled "Happy Birthday!!"

I just bought these little bitty dies and I absolutely LOVE them!

You get several of each letter in both the upper and the lower sets. 

That way, when you cut out words or quotes or sayings, 
you more than likely will have enough dies to be able to do a one-and-done cut! 

As with all 49 and Market collections, 

this one did not disappoint!

The beautiful scene on this page fit perfectly as a 6x6 size card.

 Because of it's gorgeousness, it just didn't make any sense to cover it up 

with a bunch of embellishments, so I kept it simple. 

The rub-ons go on so smoothly. 

They are such a perfect color match with the collection.  

I really love the cute and very realistic looking seed bead ones!

The skeleton butterfly is also a rub-on.

So layering one rub-on on top of another works great!

Other rub-ons I used are the words 'awesome & you' - 

and a flowering plant - 

Spectacular!

Isn't this sparkly butterfly bauble so pretty?

Here are a couple of simple flower arrangements I made for the bottom corners of the card and used one of the collection's dimensional baubles that says "Loved"

....because Michelle IS loved!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great week & please stay safe and healthy.

Birthday Card 2022 for Diana

I made a birthday card for my very dear friend Diana.

She's a retired landscaper; loves being in the garden & outdoors; 

and her favorite color is purple!

What better paper collection to choose for her card than the

Maja Design collection Enjoying Outdoors! 

I decorated the front of this 6x6 card with a homemade shaker, gorgeous dragonflies, flat back pearls, flowers and ribbon. 

The shaker is made from layers of die cut chipboard, acetate, 

foam adhesive & of course a sequin mix.

ReneaBouquets dragonflies are stunning and make this shaker totally awesome!

To hide the layers of the shaker, I used coordinating lime green and 

deep eggplant-purple ribbons.  

Then chartreuse moss & pretty flowers added below the shaker 

help hide the ribbon knot.

I made a collage inside of the card using cut outs from the paper collection.  

A personal sentiment is die cut and adhered to a darker solid paper 

and a few sequin pieces from the shaker mix help decorate it.

 

Thanks for viewing and as always,

stay safe, healthy & happy!
