Cactus Birthday

A cactus birthday, loaded with pretty pink flowers...

Thank you Loll for the inspiration,

(http://www.stampingwithloll.com/2013/04/have-sweet-day.html)

The grass and the cactus are made with my silhouette Cameo. They were both part of a cutting file that I "ungrouped" and resize to fit my card.

Let me know if you want to use those, I love to share!

The flowers were punched with a Michaels mini punch and the fence is cut from a Papertrey Ink die.

The 3D foam stickies helped give everything some dimension.

Until next time...

Mother's Day Garden

Mother's Day Garden...

I know Mother's Day is far from now, but I had made that little garden patch with a fence a while back (probably in May when Mother's Day was in the air) and never got to use it. 

Today IS the day.

I used a clear stamp from Martha Stewart for the stems of the flowers, and a Stick Stamps from Stamps by Judith for the flower itself.

The fence is cut with a Papertrey Ink die, out of kraft paper.

The sentiment was printed from my computer, and I used a Spellbinder Nestability to cut a frame around it.

This framed sentiment is glued on the card with some 3D stickers.

I used a pink paper the color of the flowers to make them stick out, and chose to round up only one corner of the card.

Until pretty soon again....

Birthday Flowers

FINALLY...

... the Papertrey Ink order has arrived! 

And in it, this little fence die... I don't know how on earth I did all these years without.

A card with a raised element has right away a different feeling.

I posted this on Splitcoaststampers and a nice lady commented it would do a beautiful Mother's day card. She is right. It is a pretty versatile design.

Just change the sentiment.

The flowers were embossed with Martha Stewart white powder, the fence is out of a Papertrey Ink die Cut and I popped it out with dimensionals.

Until next time....
