Wine and Birthday Cake

Hi, I have a card to share with you that follows the sketch

this week at Palm Trees & Pogo Sticks.

I chose to make the card a longer version so it fits into a 

#10 business envelope.

I had such a hard time getting a clear photo of this card

for some reason.  In "real life" the sentiment is very clear and

reads "What kind of wine goes with birthday cake? It doesn't matter let's celebrate"  Both that sentiment stamp and the stacked wine glasses are stamps from Unity Company.  The stacked wine glasses are from

Let's Get Tips and the sentiment is from

What Kind of Wine.

I don't make this size card very often but I enjoy making them when I do.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by hope everyone has 

a great weekend.

Red Barn Birthday

Hello all, I hope everyone had a great time with family

and friends over the Thanksgiving holiday.

My daughter was born on Thanksgiving day 47 years ago.

Still loves the farm style decor so I made her this card

for her birthday.

It was created following the sketch this time over at

Mojo Monday. 

I stamped the barn using a GinaK stamp from the Farm Life set and

then colored in on kraft with Prismacolor pencils.

The background I embossed the Cuttlebug folder chicken wire and

added some corners and that was it.

Thanks for stopping to take a peak there is still time to play

along at Mojo Monday.

Loving Birthday Cross

Well hello there.  So sorry I have not posted in a 

while I have been working on a couple projects for a guy 

at church.

He asked me to make a religious birthday card for his wife

whose birthday is in December.

It is a large card, a letter size paper folded in half.

I love the pearl embossed background paper, I had used it for my son's

wedding card HERE.  The cross is one I found online

and uploaded it to Cricut Design Space and cut it out with

my Explore.  Since it is such an intricate design I put some

Stick-It adhesive on the back of the cardstock before I cut it out.

It worked great!  It is very thin and light so the Explore had no problem cutting it out.   The sentiment on the bottom is a Cricut file I had my Explore

write.  I love the new very fine point pens.

Here is the inside.

The verse I typed out in Word and then printed on pearl

paper.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you

all have a very Happy Thanksgiving, we have so much

to be thankful for.

What if Wednesday Sketch Challenge

Hi back to share a card I made following the sketch at

The House That Stamps Built, 

WHAT IF? Wednesday sketch challenge O3118.

Here is the sketch

This challenge is put out by Repeat Impressions stamps,
you do not have to use them but you get an extra entry if you do.

The Kokopelli is a RI stamp that I have had for years so
I am not sure if it is even still available.  Since I live in the
Southwest I love these kinds of stamps.
I colored it using Catherine Pooler Inks and a water brush.  The
purple panel I embossed using a Southwest pattern folder.  The
happy birthday is a Gina K design stamp.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by my blog.
Have a great day.
