Birthday Cards

My Final July birthday for my niece's husband.  He celebrates the same day as Mom did when she was with us.

I chose a SU Crumb Cake A2 card base. 

I added two pieces of designer paper which measure 3 inches square. I chose coordinating designs and adhered one top left and other bottom right. 

I added an oval Kraft tag with jute tie.  To that I added a oval greeting with burgundy letters. 

I added a large sequin and gold glitter star brad in the bottom left hand corner of the greeting. It was adhered to the front of the card with 3D foam tape.

A white insert was added to the inside of the card.

This card is for one of my sister that celebrates early August so it needs to get into the mail now.

I used SU textured Lovely Lilac as the card base.

I cut a tag from Handsome Hunter card stock with the Sizzix Tag die. I embossed the bottom end of the tag with the SU Script embossing folder.

I added a piece of vellum to provide a base for the tag with judiciously placed tape.  I adhered the tag in the top right hand corner.

I added a Decorative Label greeting printed in Lovely Lilac in the top left corner adhered with 3D foam tape.  White insert in the landscape card.

Challenge - Eyelets

I got up this morning and decided this card needed a bit more. Does that happen to you?  It needed something to unify the elements so I added some Radiant Rain Egyptian Gold mist to it. I covered the greeting so it would stay bright and clean. I'm happier with the card!

I made this card for an on-line challenge which was using eyelets on the card.
I cut the trees with the SU Stocking Accents die.  I selected the tree and cut it in gold, silver, and copper. I mounted them onto crescent black card stock tags cut with a Sizzix tag die. I added eyelets to each in corresponding colors.  I added cording ties that coordinate with the color of the trees.  I mounted to the card with 3D foam tape.  I added a greeting made with SU Modern Label punchie with Merry Christmas punched out with the SU Word Window.

Card Club - Sept - Handmade Paper

I love the colors in this handmade paper (white, royal blue and turquoise). I found ribbon to match the cardstock. The crescent tag was cut with a Sizzix die then I highlighted it's edges with the ink pad. The greeting is from a clear set from Michael's. I used a itty bitty brad to keep the tag attached to the handmade paper and form the dot on the i in birthday at the same time. Hot glue is a good choice to get handmade paper to stick to cardstock.
