Kevin's Slimline CAS Thank You Card

 Kevin is my BFF's brother, who is disabled due to brain injury.
I'm divulging this because of how truly thoughtful he is.
This past Christmas, Kevin had gifts for everyone!
He gave me money as a thank you 
for bringing food to him from our Sunday lunches.  
You see, Kevin lives on my side of town and it's just easier for me 
to make those delivers since it's on my way home. 
Kevin's genuine appreciation is very humbling!

I decided to thank Kevin for his thoughtfulness 
and let him know that it helped brighten my Christmas.
I made him a slimline CAS (clean & simple) card in masculine Fall colors.


The inside of the card has a special note for Kevin
with a rub-on on the opposite side.

Kevin always signs off on texts to me as 
"You're crazy Cajun friend".
So......
on the back of the card - 


He also gave everyone a little Jesus, 
that I'm sure many of you have seen on the internet. 
Here is a photo of my little Jesus, 
along with my troll & Canadian inukshuk - all three were gifted to me.
They are admired every time I use the computer. 

Thanks for stopping by.
Have a blessed new year!

Patty's 2023 Birthday Card

 I made a birthday card for a very sweet friend
that I've gotten to know really well through social media and beyond. 

She's a very lovely Christian woman that 
I find to be very classy and elegant.
So, keeping that in mind,
I chose a very classy elegant paper collection to make her card!
This is Mintay's "Dear Diary" collection by Karola.
It reminds me so much of my friend, Patty.


Colors of blush, peach, browns and very light greens
in this collection, really draw you in completely!
The bird is absolutely adorable and the books speak to what Patty loves. 

The slimline card & envelope are both just so pretty!
I love adding either rhinestones or, in this case, 
pearls, in random places to make a card really feminine.

The shaker is made from 3 layers of Creative Embellishments chipboard frames.
The shaker mix is a combination of many things......
they are listed in the products list at the end.

The inside of the card is precious!
I just LOVE that cute little bird!
She's 'everywhere' in this collection.


Punching the corners made these pieces more feminine.




I chose the English font for Patty's birthday sentiment, as well as the 
Happy Birthday inside of the shaker on the front of the card.
I find the English font to be very elegant, of which Patty is.

Isn't it a beautiful scene when the card is fully opened 
to reveal the front & the backside together?


Thank you for viewing sweet Patty's card!
She is such a deserving person to be recognized on her birthday!

Have a very blessed day,
Lisa >^..^<
