Happy Bird-day ~ Happy Birthday!!

Hi there everyone!

I just wanted to pop in and share a couple of birthday cards I created lately. 

This first card I made using a tag I shared here about a week and half ago. As much as I loved the tag,  I decided to make it into a card instead for my daughter's birthday. 

I used the Sketch and Colors from the My Creative Time Challenge going on right now:

I used the Sketch from the MCT Challenge for this card as well:

Happy Bird-day! ~ PDE Linky Party

Hello everyone! 

Happy Tuesday to ya.  :)

It's time for the weekly Pause Dream Enjoy Linky Party!!  This weeks LP is "Animal".

This is what I created for my DT project:

• The stitched tag and the "Happy" are from My Creative Time "Tag Die Layers".
• The adorable bird and flowers are stamps from the Peachy Keen Stamp of the April 2013 Stamp of the Month kit. (No longer available)
• The "Bird-day" portion of the sentiment is from the Joy's Life "Wild Life Puns".
• The patterned papers are from my scraps, so I am not sure where they came from. LOL!

And that about does it!

I hope you will join us at the Pause Dream Enjoy Linky Party!  You can find it right here.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

love you to the core - shaped card

Hello everyone!!
Happy, Happy Wednesday!!
I have not been able to craft for almost two weeks, so it felt great to get back in and create a little something for my post over at the Joy's Life Design Team Blog.

This week is "shaped" cards for friends.  I just happen to have two of THE best friends EVER, and I wanted to make a card to let them know how much they mean to me. So here it is:

That awesome sentiment is from Joy's "It's All Fall Puns". Here is a closer look at it:

Love, Love the fonts Joy used... don't you??

I created this card using an image I found at the Silhouette online store.  I decided to adhere it to a white background, which I created with the offset feature on SSDE.  I used print and cut, with digital papers I purchased at Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons.
The die cut stitched label is from My Creative Time "Vintage Stitched Label Dies".
I added a little white gel pen stitching, and some hemp twine to finish the look.

I hope you liked my card today!
Thank you so very much for stopping by, it means a lot to me!

Have a happy, crafty day!!
