A Birthday Card for My Girl

Here's a card that I made for my daughter. Though it almost did not happen. She nearly coerced me into making it. It includes a bit of her fav color, turquoise, along w/some bling!

Many Thanks (and many flowers too)

So for this card, I had this idea that I got from the most recent edition of Paper Crafts (April/May, p.68). But this card got the best of me. Adhering all of those flowers was incredibly tedious. I ended up using a glue pen, but just know that it is time that I will never get back. And for the record, I am not mad at this card ... just exhausted. And oh, how about that heat embossing ... ? Heck Yeah!


So here is the supply list:
cardstock: Bazzill
patterned paper: Basic Grey's Sultry
flowers: Martha Stewart
circle punches: EK Success
stamp: Hero Arts Happy Everything
ink: VersaMark
embossing powder: Stampendous!
embossing: Cuttlebug
ribbon: Michaels
bling/rhinestones: Dress It Up and unknown

All About the Pink & Black

Such a cute color combination. I was surprised when I purchased the DCWV (Die Cuts With A View) paper pack called All That Glitters. I like a little bling, but not over the top. I had intended to give the pack away as a gift, but as I flipped through it, I got some ideas and I said, you know I'm going to keep this one.

So I finally got around to using it. It's another mini card set (2 @ 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 and 1 @ 4 x 4). I like the minis and I have some envelopes that they fit in as well. I guess I could make some envelopes too, huh?

Here are the goods:

I really, really, really like this card. I made it for a friend - who almost did not get it. She had asked me to make her a set of Valentine's Day cards. This is one of the six.
