Accordian /Waterfall Birthday Cards

I love working with pictures and this was a fun card to make for a friend. There are plenty of pictures to choose from on Facebook and this was a great style card for all the pictures. I added some embellishments to the card to make it more interesting. The picture below shows how great a style card it is to open up and display on a mantel or hutch. Happy Birthday Anna!

This waterfall card is for my sister's birthday. It is another style card that is fun to make. Ribbon mechanism is for the mechanism to make the waterfall work! April has been a busy month making birthday cards! Thanks for stopping by and checking out these cards.

Pizza Slider Cards

These slider cards are a fun interactive card to make. The pizza style is great for a masculine card too! Both men that I made these cards for love their pizza! One is for my brother in law and the other one is for my hairdresser. The picture below is the back of the card with different sentiments. Love how they came out with the punch art pizza. I love April because Easter usually is in April and also flowers are popping up! Thanks for stopping by!

Easter Bunny Boxes

Love making these punch art Easter Bunnies! These are pretty tall boxes/baskets. The base measures 6 inches and then with the handles it is another 5 inches. I wanted to make it tall enough to fit the chocolate bunny lollipop. I used graphic 45's Botanical Tea paper collection. I loved all the pinks and lavenders for spring box/basket. I made them for our neighbor's girls who have been bringing eggs to us. Our neighbors have chickens now and they have been giving them to neighbors. I thought this would be a cute "thankyou"! I added a cute flower to the back of the box/basket.

For my daughter I got her a little basket plus some dish towels with doggie sayings on it and also a big soup cup with doggies on it. As you can see it is a doggie theme. Her little puppy is getting so big and is graduating from cute to handsome. Next week he will be 7 months old. Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

April Anniversary

Love this style card and Graphic 45's Love Notes! This tuxedo/card in a box card was fun to make. My sister and her husband's anniversary is coming up next week so I made this for them. Happy Anniversary the Burcham's!

I found this style card on Pinterest and it is called a Bay Window card. I loved making it because you have a lot of places to put your sentiment or just decorate like crazy. I started making the nautical one and couldn't stop! The best part is that it folds flat for easy mailing. Love it. Check out more pictures below for the inside and out.

Birthday Beach Chair

This is a perfect card for a high school friend's birthday next week. She posts pictures of the beach every week! It is her "happy" place! This is the sizzix pop up chair die but I cut slits to make it an adirondack chair! Just added some waves using a border punch and some Elizabeth Craft dies such as beach ball, sand pail with shovel. I used punches from Martha Stewart and Dies from sizzix for the shells. The paper collection is Graphic 45's By The Sea. I have been making doggie mattress pads for my daughter's puppy. He stays with us when she is working so he has 2 homes and needs 2 pads for each crate in his 2 homes. What a lucky dog to have 2 homes!! Here is one of the pads that I made. I love the fabric! There were so many prints to choose but these 2 made it.

Here is a picture of Oliver but we call him Ollie! He is 6 months old and weights about 60 lbs. He is going to be a big boy!

Here is Lindsey and Ollie at the Beach!

The Chemist is in!

Explosion boxes are the perfect for creating a setting that represents the receiver. This explosion box is a birthday card for our friend's birthday. My husband calls her the chemist because she makes perfect gin and tonics!! I made this bar setting for her with wine glasses, wine bottle and gin bottle charms. I loved the way it came out.

This is her birthday card that is tucked in the pocket. I found a lot of the sayings on Pinterest and it was so fun to make for her. Happy Birthday Lynne!

Sexy Seventy

Here is a flamingo birthday card for a very special friend's birthday who just turned 70! Such a wonderful milestone! This is a Z fold card to show off these fun flamingos. The flamingos are from Elizabeth Craft and the leaves and stamped flowers are from Stampin up. The paper collection is beautiful and it is from Julia Nutting.

Here is one of her birthday gifts. Yes, you guessed it, her name is Cindy! My sister and I got together and made this for Cindy. We had such fun making it especially since we had some great pictures to choose! Cindy is so photogenic! I wish she had a longer name!! LOL! If you can't tell from the pictures she loves Disney, flamingos, Donald Duck and hats! Again, this was such fun to make for her!! Love you Cindy and Happy Birthday!!
