Happy Anniversary

This was a quick anniversary card as pretty much the only stamping was the message inside and outside :0) It's a gate fold card. The heart paper was by Recollections from a couple years ago, the big heart is a Martha Stewart Crafts punch, the little heart is a May Arts ribbon I got at Impress. For the banner, I sponged a little worn lipstick ink which was the same ink I used to stamp the messages. Both messages are by the same SU set but one the English version and the other the Spanish version teeny tiny wishes

    

    

Shoebox Tuesday

For today's shoebox project decided to finally use one of the sets by The Stamps of Life I have been receiving from their club. I also bought the matching set just for fun

First I did this card, and decided that the right pot should be a little different so

 

I made this other card, which is pretty much the same thing but the top of the pot is different and I decided to use a different message. For them they didn't have a message that way they could use whatever message they needed when they need the card and since it's stamped in black ink they don't have to worry about matching colors :0)

I could have done the two pots completely different since there was two backgrounds but I didn't want to hassle I was already using two MISTI's one for the 4 stamps for pots and one for the 4 stamps for the cactus and I was happy with the second card. Also, I added a little texture with gorgeous grunge as it just needed something and of course added a line with my Copic Multi liner as the pots needed to be anchor otherwise they were flying :0)

90th birthday

Today is one of my adoptive aunt's birthday and this is the card I made for her. I saw Dawn G's card and video for this zig zag card and as you know I love fancy folds and this one was a great idea for a milestone birthday. I changed my dimensions from hers and I also decorated both sides plus I decided not to glue my zig zag panel to the top layer but to make the top layer another area to decorate :0) so the inside of the card was for my greeting and personal message, the whole outside was for my big milestone message and worked great.

The card is totally flat for mailing and it's A2 size

but is totally 3D

The celebrate is from The Greeting Farm's celebrate & enjoy set stamped with tuxedo black

The message on this side of the panel is from Poppy Stamps set ornamental butterflies also stamped with tuxedo black

 and this is my main layer, the happy birthday is from Hero Arts' stamp & cut set Happy also stamped with tuxedo black, the 90th is from SU's number of years set stamped with Bermuda Bay

the flowers are from CTMH's beloved bouquet set stamped with mint melody and Bermuda Bay the filler is also from the same set stamped with dandelion (stamped off), new sprout (stamped off) and Sahara sand inks
