My Fathers turns 81.....

This has always been the hardest card for me to make each year because on the 10th of Dec it's a very special day. As I make My Fathers Birthday card it always brings tears to my eyes... So to craft with tears running down my face it can become very difficult to see the card no.( 1 ) and no.( 2) trying to keep my tears from hitting the card and making it all wet... As age plays a big part of all our lives I am so blessed that my Father will be turning 81.... Happy Birthday Dad...I love you...Your Wendy's Gift Card will reach you soon....My Dad just loves Wendy's and he keeps telling my mother that it's always the best Gift he gets!!!!

Details: The stamps are from Gina K Designs and the papers are just a mix that I gave it a distressed look with marvy inks and some faux stitching and dots with my white gel pen and a pretty silver hinge. I made a extra little bottom to the shirt so the word Dad would really stand out and the hat and shirt are attached with pop dots... I decided to make the Gift card holder and attached to the top of a card so that I could write a sweet little note to my dad inside...

Let a SUNFLOWER in...

I needed a break from Christmas card making this evening so I made sunflowers...
The Sunflowers are from Gina K a year of flowers. I used a mixed of blues and pattern blue papers along with a cuttlebug background. I used pop dots and layered the sunflowers along with stampin up corner punches, and three types of ribbon.

Thanks for looking... Hope Everyone Had a Fantastic Thanksgiving!!!

PINE-CONES...

I just could not decide on which pine-cones to use so I used them all with lot of greenery some being mistletoe, but my Holly Berries did not show up so well in the picture but they look yummy on the card. I stamped all the images then cut them out and colored just the leafs of the mistletoe and added some red colored paper glaze to the berries to really make them yummy looking... A chipboard tag with stamped words (winter wishes),dew drops and ribbon. The stamps are from Gina K that were free when you ordered 3 stamp sets!

Flowers for a friend!

A Year of the Flowers

This was made for a Gina K challenge at scs ... I just got my first order of Gina k stamps yesterday and wow I could not wait to ink them up. The challenge was to use glossy card stock and cuttlebug folders that we had to ink . I used three and brushed on old olive,more mustard along with marvy ink ochre and lt. green. I stamp two poinsettias with ochre on glossy card-stock as well added some color to middle dots, added alittle extra color to middle of leafs of poinsettias then clear embosses and layered with pop dots. stamped leafs with old olive on glossy brushed on some Lt green layered around poinsettias. Stamped for you with love on chipboard added some bling along with two kind of ribbon! I'm very new to this fourm challenge stuff and I look forward to playing often. I learned all about it when I sent one of my cards to flourshes and one of there guest designers told me about the fourms at scs wow did I get lucky with that much needed info... So as well as playing the challenge fourms for flourshes I can now play with Gina K stamps too...
