Mermaid Birthday

 

My niece is celebrating her 4th birthday at the Rec Center Swim. Perfect for the mermaid that she is! I found this mermaid girl and scales online and created a card just for her! Happy Birthday Emily!

Elegant Bloom

 

I fell in love with Linda Bauwin's card using the 'Corner in Bloom' stamp set. She created a frame with the flower stamps in opposite corners, but added a dash-dot line to create the faux frame. She also colored in the frame to emphasize the frame. So Cool! Thanks Linda for your inspiration!

Right Scenes

 

A winter scene for my nephew. The 'Winter Scenes' stamp set is perfect for masculine winter cards. The images don't really require any coloring, but I added a slight touch of color to the images. I also used 'Wink of Stella' on the trees, snowman and the lake.

I received inspiration from Carol Schuster's card. Thanks Carol!

Christmas Thanks

 

After Christmas... Thank You's! I had a lovely time creating these. Trying to use up my HUGE supply of Designer Series Paper. These are from the 'Plaid Tidings' pack. Each card is now unique to the person who will be receiving it!

I used the December Flower in the stamp set 'Year of Flowers' for the card, and added a bow (non-SU) to make it more festive.

The banner die is from the 'Party Banner' set! Which I'd love to create more with soon!

I added 'Wink of Stella' to make the flowers and bows shine.

Trampoline Christmas

 

I wanted to give an experience for Christmas instead of an actual toy gift to our littlest nieces (3,4 and 6). So we decided to give them a gift to the trampoline park here in Ohio. With this gift card they can play for 3 hours. Pretty cool!

Since 2 of my nieces live together... I chose to do only 2 cards instead of 3.

I designed them within My Memories Suite digital software and found the trampolines and people online (free clip art).

The spray is made using the 'Pretty Pines' dies.
