Birthday Sunflowers

Happy Saturday! Today I'm sharing a card I created using the sketch over at Global Design Project :)

I die-cut the sunflowers from seed paper that I had sitting around in my craft studio (leftovers from creating my cousin's wedding invitations YEARS ago!!!) It adds a really lovely texture to the flowers!
 

 

I'll be snail mailing this one to my grandma for her 92nd birthday in late June :) I hope it brightens her day and makes her smile!!!

Enjoy your weekend!

Thanks for visiting!

Happy Tuesday! The current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is "anything goes," so I'm popping in today to share a birthday card I created. This one is for one of my neighbor girlfriends whose birthday is Friday. She's an avid hiker so I thought this would be perfect for her!

This Designer Series Paper pack from Stampin' Up had my name written all over it! I liked it so much I grabbed two packs!!! It's full of mountain scenes and it's absolutely gorgeous! Also makes for quick and easy cards----this card is simply designer series paper, die-cuts, and a sentiment stamp---LOVE!!!

I added a bit of sparkle to the moon with an aqua shimmer pen (tough to capture in the photo but shimmers beautifully in person).

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a fabulous day!!!

Birthday Wishes

 

Today I'm playing along with Seize The Birthday Challenge :) I skipped the toppings this time around and just went with the "Anything Goes Birthday" option ;)

Here's my card:

This is a new-to-me stamp set from Stampin' Up called Sea Turtle. I absolutely LOVE sea turtles!!! I think they are such magical creatures and I literally squeal with delight every single time we encounter them on snorkeling adventures!!!

My sister-in-law is also a huge fan of anything ocean or beach related. She's about to turn 60 later this week, so I just dropped this in the snail mail for her. I hope she likes it!

I had so much fun making this card that I made a second version too...
 

On this one I used a darker solid background panel and some Halo embossing powder (WOW! inspired by...Catherine Pooler) on the bubbles. The iridescent sparkle is so fabulous in person!!!

 

Thanks so much for visiting!

Have a wonderful week!!!
