Celebrate!

Here's one more birthday card that I made for my other daughter. Both of my girls were born in January. My oldest turned 26.  She, too, is a beautiful, intelligent and articulate person.

I have been using a lot of graphic png images on my cards lately. This graphic bundle is called
 Winter Animal Tea Party. I purchased it from the hungry jpeg. 

I printed the animals twice so I could layer them. I'm sure I could have set it up as a print and cut, but sometimes I just like to do things "old school" and actually use my exacto knife to cut things out. 

I really love personalizing cards for the recipient. It makes the whole creative experience fun.

Thanks for stopping by.  I know I am really behind with my blogging. My annual vacation to Thailand has been a nice mental break for me. Back to reality...see you soon.

Happy New Year

Hello everyone! a Happy New Year to you all.
I made a card to celebrate. It's based on this one from SVGCuts
I got creative with my fonts, offset and welding tools in Silhouette Studio
I did cut the whole thing out in white card stock, that way, I could add my color with embossing powders and ink.

I embossed the words with Champagne EP and the snowflakes were a special blend of Sky Blue and Shabby White. I used the "leftover" centers of the snowflakes to make the 3D stars

The cute graphic of the polar bear and penguin is from a Christmas bundle I bought from The Hungry jPeg.

Thanks for taking a look. I will see you next time.
