April '14

Today and this weekend is all about the birthday cards...

A very good friend of mine celebrated her birthday yesterday.

Above is the inside of the card I gave her. Just a small sentiment and my favorite flower from the Petite Petals stamps... The flowers here are important, my friend and I love to garden, we share flowers, seeds, plants and ideas.  Her Hubby took us flower shopping on Thursday. Dreary day here in Indiana, but great day shopping for FLOWERS!!


Using a beautiful retiring stamp set, My Friend.  The inside sentiment and the "flower" background are two stamps from that set.  The "Happy Birthday" is also from a retiring set, Create a Cupcake. 

The new "Hardwood" stamp is a perfect back drop for this card, just adding some texture.  Creating this on Basic Grey and using "Craft" Whisper White, the same color combo for the flowers.



 Adding the extra layer on the banner adds a lot.

Curling the flower petals is done with a bone folder. Rhinestone just finish them off.

Just a couple different dimensions for this card but it does not have to be mailed. Hand delivery for this one!! 

Enjoy your weekend!!


Have a Great day getting Crafty!!

  1. Love, Love, Love the card Jen! I have to say, that Hardwood background stamp is growing on me. So glad I snagged it free from purchases of "Best Of" series featured last year. Of curse petite petals are a sweet favorite of mine as well. You have shown me another way to use my stamps and punches and I thank you for that. Keep on doing what you're doing friend and mentor.
