50th Birthday - Pool!

Hi there!  Hope your day is going great!  Today, I have a fun 50th Birthday card.  The gal I gave this to is such a beautiful lady.  She is a personal trainer and a swimming coach.  Hence, the bird in the pool!

 

This was a fun one to make.  I used vellum for the water.  The bird is from 3 Birds on Parade.  I used my Cricut machine and Design Space of course.  The 3D foam tape, pops up the bird and the sign at the top of the card.  The inside of the card says "on your Birthday!"

Hey!  I hope you enjoyed it!  Have a blessed day!

Remember: God loves you & Jesus is Lord!

Happy Trails! - Engagement card

 Howdy!  Today, I have an engagement card, for my nephew and his fiance.  This is the type of thing I like best.  Very specific and unique to the person it is for.

Thank you for the Zucchini!

Good day to you all.  I hope your day is wonderful!

Today, I have a fun card, that was made for a couple that had given us a zucchini.  We had made Zucchini Fries and they wanted the recipe.  I wanted to thank them for the zucchini anyway, so I made them this card...

I embossed over the fry tips and top of card for effect, to show the texture of the crumbs :)

I also used a little foam tape on the top, between the sets of fries, to separate them a little.  glued the bottom together, so it is tapered.

Supplies used:

Cricut Explore

Fast Food

Washi Tape

Gold Sequins

Foam Tape

Craft Heater

Embossing Powder
