Well Wishes for Patty

 My sweet friend, Patty, is recovering from surgery,

so I made her a card to wish her well during this time.

Patty loves bees, 

so how perfect was this collection & edger die?!

I 'spruced' up the edger die by cutting out parts of the bee in jet black cardstock;

then adhering them so the bee would be black & golden.

I also cut some vellum wings for added interest

and topped them with stickles so they would sparkle.

The Paper Rose collection "Bees & Butterflies"

has a page with beautiful yellow-gold flowers.

This made a perfect background for the edger die to be on top of.

These pieces were then adhered to the 

beautiful green paper of the main card.

A few glitter enamel dots dressed up the card as well.

Also in this collection are embossed die cuts.

I've used some bumble bees.

Unfortunately, the photos don't show the glossy embossed areas,

but Patty will see them!

The inside of the card has more embossed die cuts

and a simple sentiment of recovery wishes that I die cut.

Thanks for viewing Patty's card today.

Wishing her a speedy recovery!

Have a blessed day,

Lisa >^..^<

Miss Belle's 2026 Birthday Card

 My sweet friend, Miss Belle, is celebrating her 90th birthday this month!

She's a real sweetheart and I love her very much.

I'm her 'other daughter' and she's my 'other Mom'. 

Since we live in different states, we keep in touch by phone

and always have very interesting conversations.

I really enjoy talking with her!

I recently found out that her most favorite color is blue,

or as she puts it, "ALL" blues.

She also loves white.

What better papers to make her 5" x 7" card with

than the beautiful blue, white & pink collection 

Maja Design "Denim & Girls"!

As with all of my homemade birthday cards this year,

I've layered strips of paper, some straight cut and others 

are either edge punched or deco scissor cut.

Here are the top strips:

On the bottom strip, 

I adhered the title strip that's found 

on the very bottom of one of the pages in the collection

that has the words "You are a Star".

I selected some really pretty blue glossy enamel dots as well.

A special birthday message is printed and then oval die cut, 

which is then adhered flat to the card.

As I've said all along and will again on this card,

ReneaBouquets butterfly is a gorgeous centerpiece!

This one is a perfect match with the paper collection - W O W!

Lastly, the inside of the card is decorated with beautiful 

49 and Market laser cut elements & rub-ons.

Thanks for viewing Miss Belle's birthday card.

I wish her the very best blessed birthday

and hopes of her having many more!

Have a blessed day everyone,

Lisa >^..^<
