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!

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!
