Silver anniversary

I used a layout challenge from http://cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com for this card. Once I found how to use the reverse image from the Cuttlebug die cut, I couldn't stop. I cut two different colors from the paper and then pieced them in the color order as shown. I used a versamark pen for the candles and then silver embossed them. This adds a very nice touch to the candles. A great card to give a couple for their silver anniversary IMO. Sorry for the darkened image. I wanted to show how glitzy the card is IRL. TFL

Black & white 50th Bday

I tried to stay away from "frillies" (no glitter??? Oh nooo) in making a masculine 50th birthday card. I used dimentionals to raise the white CB panel along with the cake. I cut two different colored die cuts and then pieced with the colors shown. The cake base is the negative of the die cut. FYI, the one candle was left without a flame on purpose. My guy "kindly" pointed out that I forgot to color one of them. At 50, who has that amount of breath left in them to blow out ALL the candles at once??!! TFL

Baby shower bootie favor

I made this baby bootie favor using a white paper cup. I randomly sponged apricot appeal & certain celery craft ink and quickly dusted with halogram ep and heat set. I tied the bootie with apricot appeal grograin ribbon, and then tied the charm on using silver cord. The charm was a great find in the baby isle at Michaels. 24 charms for 1.00...!!!. the bootie sparkles a great deal IRL. The gurlz in the office went ga-ga the first time I made this bootie for an office baby shower. TFL

Cuttlebug Freckled Baby

I have been on a Cuttlebug craze so baby had to meet Cuttlebug!

I randomly sponged Apricot Appeal and Celery Green SU ink on the embossed parts of the card. I then went over the remaining white spaces with vanilla distressing ink (cool stuff). Punch was made using the Marvy scalloped punch (not giga size). At the end of each swirl, I added a small amount of DD. The scan did not pick up on how glittery the front of the card looks like.
Baby was popped out using a dimentional. I used the 1/16 hole punch to punch holes on the babies outfit to give it a two dimentional burst of color. Freckles for the baby was mandatory!

Supplies: SU WW,certain celery,creamy carmel, apricot appeal CS,inks,chalks,marker,1/16 hole punch dimentional, DD,scallop punch & apricot grograin ribbon, A Muse Gem, Michaels $1 stamp.

Floral Sympathy

I liked the way this card turned out. Very soft and simple. The left over designer paper was begging me to do something with it. I found the gorgeous velvet ribbon at Micheals and when "a" met "b", I came up with this card!

I printed the sentiment from the computer and die cut it using the oval Cuttlebug die cut.The buckle die almost looks real by using the Halogram Highlights EP.
The only thing that was difficult about the card was getting the center oval to attach to the oval frame. This is where a Xyron machine would have come in handy! And if only I had a 40% coupon to purchase one.

*** This morning sitting on my office desk was a 40% coupon from Michaels advertisement! Was someone listening to me? Any who, thank you very much Dusty!

Supplies: SU Very vanilla & Choco Chip CS, Halogram Highlights, Versamark & dimentional, Michaels designer paper & ribbon, Cuttlebug Die cut.
