Rocky's 2nd Birthday Card 2026

 My dear friend, Rocky, is celebrating her 70th birthday this month.

I wanted to make a special card for this special occasion,

so I chose to make her a 3D card

because they're so interesting and fun!

Her favorite color is red, 

so of course the florals have red in them.

I chose the colors of the card based on the colors in the floral arrangements.

The main card is vanilla (not white)

topped with a very small green outline for the 

beautiful red on top.

The red really makes the flowers POP!

Here are a few close ups to show you the layering.

The inside has a special, personal computer printed 

birthday sentiment on the right side.

The left side was just so bland,

so I added ultra cute rub ons by Graphic 45.

Thanks for looking at Rocky's birthday card.

Wishing her the very best and lots of love on her special day.

Have a blessed day!

"Thinking of You" - Card & Envelope

 Once again, I've fallen in love creating with 3D layering die cuts!

These are the neatest, coolest, prettiest things!

I LOVE them.

They really make very unique one-of-a-kind beautiful cards.

A very special person in my life deserved a pretty card

in her favorite colors of purple & green,

which is always an outstanding choice.

The die cuts have several colors in them, 

which I was able to closely match with my solid cardstock! 

Check out these beautiful, luscious layers!

In person, the flowers look like they're 'growing' towards you.

SO unique!

I made a box envelope to hold the one inch thick card.

I followed my own tutorial found here:

https://iluvcatsandscraps.blogspot.com/2026/07/tutorial-boxed-envelope-with-magnetic.html

I really love how everything turned out.

I used a die cut from the same collection as decoration.

The magnetic flap is decorated with flowers & bling along the edge.

A corner rounder punch was used.

Even the backside of the flap is decorated.

Thanks for coming by!

Have a wonderful and blessed day.

Miss Belle's 2nd Birthday Card 2026

 I ordered so many wonderful products to make cards with

& specifically bought one especially for my dear, sweet friend

Miss Belle, who's turning 90. 

She's very special to me, as I view her as my 2nd Mom.

Such an intelligent & interesting woman to talk to.

So, Miss Belle's favorite color is blue & she loves it with white.

This is the 5x7 card I designed for her using those two colors.

I used some layering die cuts for a beautiful dimensional effect!

I'm so happy that I found this product!

I'm also happy that I bought a lot of different ones 

for other cards in the future.

What makes them fun is that you can make as many layers

that you want, including layering only specific spots (flowers)

and not the entire bouquet.

Such a unique product that produces fabulous 3D effects!!

Look at all those layers!

From another set of layering die cuts, 

I used only one and adhered it flat to the inside of the card.

I die cut the numbers 90 in the same blue as the card

and adhered them to the pretty floral die cut.

I put this card together rather quickly and had so much fun creating it!

Thanks so much for coming by 

and I hope you have a very blessed day.
