September Celebrations!

Marianne Designs' Squirrel

Flag Birthday Card

September has become a big month for celebrations!  Anniversaries and birthdays galore!!  This card is for a friend.  I had to use Marianne Creations squirrel die which I think is so cute and appropriate because this summer and fall, we have been overrun with them.  This is a fun card to make and I used JustRite Stamps that I haven't used in a while.

Inside card

Graphic 45's Fairie Dust paper collection is so beautiful and I had to use it for another friend's birthday which was at the end of September!  Love this type of pop up card!  Doesn't everyone love fairies, unicorns and magic!! 

Love this stamp set from Stampin up and it was great for an anniversary card, so I made 2!  My brother, Hal and Charlotte and my sister, Connie and Russ had Anniversaries in September.  I made the same card but different colors!  Pretty, pretty, pretty!!!

Birthday Flag Fold Card

Happy November everyone! It was a challenging week.  We had a terrible wind/rain storm that left 400,000 people without power.  We were lucky that we only lost power for about 16 or 17 hours but some people are just getting their power back today.  Thank you Central Maine Power employees!! So with the power being out, I still was able to work in my craft room and I am loving my  new Marianne Creatable Panda Bear die!! I have the giraffe which I have used for a baby card and this is the first time I have used the Panda Bear.  This type of card is called a Flag Fold Card which I have had saved on Pinterest for quite  a while and just got around to making it.  The link is below for this type of card.  I have seen a few on Pinterest with more flags on the inside which I am going to have to try also.

There are 5 flags inside this card.  Graphic 45's Safari collection is the paper that I used along with some dies and punches.  The stamp set is from JustRite stamps.  I haven't decided who to give this to yet but there are a lot of birthdays coming up! 

Celebrate Pink!

I am just loving this pink paper by BoBunny.  This is my 3rd side step card  with it and I could do more but I will spare you the redundancy of it.  Lotus by spellbinder is done in pink and the top layer is a shiny metallic emerald green paper.  Justrite stamps was done for the sentiment with a little bling.  Hard to see but it is there. The leaves are done by sizzix and the butterfly is SU "God's beauty". I have been using my metallic paper a lot lately.  Love the way it adds more bling to the card. My good friend, Cindy, would love this card  because her favorite color of all time is PINK!

July Birthdays

July is a big birthday month so here I am getting the jump on some birthday cards.  This one might be for my sister who will be turning 41 this month!  I wanted to use my new SU sizzix tulip border EF.  It is a pretty simple card with prima flowers and a JustRite sentiment. It needed some rhinestones which I think give it a fireworks kind of feel. How appropriate for the month of July!! Happy 4th everyone!! God Bless America!
