Swirly Bird Happy Birthday Card

Here is a bright and cheerful birthday card that I CASED from my friend Barb.  We had a fun time stamping together a few weeks ago.  This is a stamp set that I had seen quite a few demonstrators creating projects using.  I wasn't too sure of the bundle but after going to class and using Barb's bundle, I ordered it.  The only thing that I recommend is that you use wax paper with the thinlits, it makes it so much easier to separate the card stock from the thinlit.

Here is the recipe:
Flirty Flamingo (#141416), Sweet Sugarplum (#141418), Peekaboo Peach (#141417) and Very Vanilla (#101650) card stock
Flirty Flamingo (#141397), Peekaboo Peach (#141398), Sweet Sugarplum (#141395) and Emerald Envy (#141396) stamp pads
Swirly Bird Bundle (#142353)
Teeny Tiny Wishes (#128748 W) (#127802 C) happy birthday
Sunshine Wishes Thinlits (#141489) for the butterfly
Washi Tape Punch (discontinued) - the Classic Label Punch (#141491) would be great but mine is missing at the moment.

Please send this post to another friend that would enjoy it. Then please write the name of your friend in the comments.  There might a surprise at the end of the week for you.

Thank you for visiting today.  God Bless.

Flourishing Phrases Thank you card

I went to another demonstrator class in June and learned to do this fold.  It is very easy and shows the pretty design on the other side our designer paper.  I just love this Pop of Pink designer paper we have.  Fun card to create and give to someone letting them know that thankful you are or you could change the  greeting.  I think it would be a great birthday card.  Change the greeting and have fun creating your card.

Bloomin Love Bridal Shower Card

I LOVE our glimmer paper.  I love the glimmer that it give a project without having to use the glitter.  When ever I use the glitter, I have it all over the area and me. This is a card that I created to give Kelsea at her bridal shower.  I used the precision base plate and the big shot die brush to get all the little pieces out to the heart.  Also I put the glitter paper face down and the thinlit on the back of the glimmer paper because it is a thicker paper and I wanted the back to cut easier.

Here is the recipe:
Bloomin Love Bundle (#140818) which includes the Bloomin Love stamp set (#140643) and Bloomin Heart Thinlits (#140621)
Whisper White (#100730) and Blushing Bride (#131198) card stock
Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper (#140550)
Birthday Bouquet Designer Paper (#140557) stripped paper on the bottom of the card
Rose Red (#126954) and Blushing Bride (#131172) stamp pads
5/8" Organza Ribbon (#114319)
Precision Base Plate (#139684)
Big Shot Die Brush (140603)

The Big Shot Die Brush is a new item in our Occasions Catalog.  It is a must have to get all the little pieces out when using some of our thinlits.
