OMG - SEVENTY?

My brother turns 70 years old this week!  If you saw him, you wouldn't even think he was 50!  He looks so good, it's amazing.

Recipe:
Soft Suede - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Very Vanilla - 5 1/4" x 4"
Neutrals 6"x 6" Designer Series Paper - 5" x 3 3/4
Very Vanilla - Largest Oval from Layering Ovals
Soft Suede - Happy 70th Birthday

Yes, I know the Large Numbers are retired, but seriously, I'm never getting rid of mine.  Way too many uses!

Thank you for looking in today!  Happy Hump Day!

Say Cheese!

I can finally share this card with you!  This was my swap card for our Team Meeting yesterday and since we vote on our favorites, I couldn't share it until after.  Cute as it is, it didn't win this time, but wait until you see the one that did.  I'll share it tomorrow.  Oh My Goodness, so cute!  It seems there isn't anything that can't be done with the Fox Punch!

I cased this card and apparently I'm not the only one.  Another gal that had a display board also made this cute card but turned up the other way and she did the greeting a little different.  

After I made this, and was showing it to my hubby, he suggested I put a piece of paper behind the front so you could write inside.  That is a good idea, but then you couldn't see the back half of the cute little mouse!

There was one quite a while ago where I did another "cheesy" card.  You can see it HERE.

Recipe:

So Saffron: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored and folded at 4 1/4".
Smoky Slate and Pink Pirouette (for Mouse)
Whisper White for Banner

Mouse:  Fox Builder Punch, 3/4" Circle Punch, 1/2" Circle Punch, Owl Builder (feet)
Cheese:  Layering Circles (center hole), 1" Circle Punch, 1 1/4" Circle Punch
Banner:  Large Numbers Framelits

To make the Mouse tail, I punched the Fox tail and then trimmed it with scissors to make the tail. 

We had SIXTEEN Swappers this month, so I had lots of little mousies running around in prepping these cards.

Thank you for looking in today ~ have a Blessed Sunday!

Look Who's Turning...

Yesterday's card was one of two that we made today at our January Workshop.   Today's card is the second card the girls made.  Each person made the number on their card according to their needs.  Mine will probably go to my youngest son who will be turning 30 in a month.  HOW is that possible, I can't have two adult children!  Yikes!

Actually, looking at the colors, I think I need to change up the colors and do something more masculine.  Mint Macaron just doesn't cut it!

You can see the shimmer on the card above where I used my Wink of Stella (clear) pen.  I love this pen, it is so much fun to use to add spark to anything.

Recipe:
Whisper White Thick Card Stock - 11" x 4 1/4", scored and folded at 5 1/2"
Crushed Curry for the Banner and Balloons
Mint Macaron for the Circle
It's My Party Designer Series Paper Stack

Stamps:
Number of Years / Large Numbers Framelits Dies (Bundle)
Balloon Celebration / Balloon Bouquet Punch (Bundle)

Tools:  Circles Framelits
Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder
Wink of Stella Clear Brush


The 30 is actually popped up with craft foam.  To see the details on how I did this, check my earlier post HERE.

To make the "arch" for stamping the "Look Who's Turning", I used the Circles Framelits.  I used the largest circle and then skipped one and used the next one.  Put the two together and carefully center the smaller one inside the larger one and you have the perfect size and curve for this stamp.

It's big enough to make three arches.  My sample is white, but we used Crushed Curry for the card.  Then just simply snip the sentiment out and pop it up on the card.

Thank you for looking in today.
