You are COOL!!!

Sometimes a person can be your inspiration when creating a card.  I was perusing Pinterest and saw a card (I believe by Mary Brown) and I loved the combination of the “c” & “l” wrapped around the sunglasses and I knew that I just had to make my version and my daughter, Katie, was my inspiration.  Katie loves PINK — pink everything — so I started with Melon Mambo cardstock and ink.

I stamped the sunglasses from Pocketful of Sunshine, cut out the letters using the Large Letters Framelits, added some dashes and dots to the letters.  Then I stamped the flowers from Daisy Delight across the top and middle of the bottom.  Don’t you love the large scallop at the bottom — I used the Seasonal Layers thinlit to cut the edge.  Oh, and don’t forget to add Rhinestones to each corner of the glasses.

Sweet & Simple — that’s what today’s card is with a surprise fold.  I used the Naturally Eclectic designer paper — there are some fabulous prints in this designer paper package.  The pretty script Happy Birthday comes from the Birthday Delivery stamp set and the adorable added touch is the Basic Pack 2 Washi Tape.  This stuff is fabulous.  The Basic Pack 2 Washi Tape has 5 different shades of the green and they are all easy patterns to use.

Masculine Note Card

I was recently asked if I had any masculine cards on hand.  I dug through my card stash and only found a few.  Hmm….it’s time to make a few masculine cards to have on hand — not necessarily birthday just general cards that could be used for any occasion for those guys in our lives.  So here’s the first card I designed.  I used the stamp set Wood Words.  It’s has wonderful rustic images and a few short sweet phrases.  It was the perfect fit with the Wood Textures designer paper.  If you haven’t purchased that yet, you really need too — it is amazing.
