Another Birthday Card

Well it seems like I am stuck on Birthday cards! But here is another one anyway! This card's base was the paper I love so much (Beckett). The outside edges of the card base were scored with the Scor Pal. The blue paper is from Coredinations and it was embossed with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder and sanded. I so love this paper too! I then used one of my Martha Stewart punches (Lattice I believe it was called) to edge out the blue card stock. The heart was again cut out using the Beckett paper and embossed with the Birds and Swirls Cuttlebug folder. I used the Scalloped Hearts Nestabilities to cut the heart. I used a watercolor marker that I had in my stash to lightly shade the embossed area of the heart...the ribbon was from my stash too. Thanks for stopping by to visit and I hope your day was as beautiful as mine was! Thanks for stopping by to visit me!

Happy Birthday

Happy Wednesday! Today was a rainy stormy day again after work so I used the weather as an excuse to create a new card...well actually I created two! This first card is for my oldest son whose birthday is next week...shhhhh...I don't think he even knows I have a blog yet so I don't think he will see it. I have a hard time designing masculine cards but this one didn't turn out too bad. Unlike the last couple of cards, there is no cricut used on this card, but I did use my other favorite bug...the Cuttlebug. I just love embossing. I brayered the embossing folder with SU Chocolate Chip ink and ran the paper through my bug...I really love how it turned out. I then created a couple of layers to mat my card front using Coredinations card stock. The sentiment was stamped with a stamp from Joann Fabrics. I used my Spellbinders Double Ended Tag Shapeabilities to create a neat tag and added a couple of brown brads. Hope you had a wonderful day...come back to see me soon.

Hugs,

Vicki
