Striped Birthday Card

I love to sit down and think about how many different ways I can make a card.  I have made several birthday cards.  I continue to dream about how many different "designs" I can make.  This card is no exception.  

Here's what you will need to make this card:

PAPER

• Base: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Boho Blue Cardstock
• Basic White Cardstock: 

• Inside layer--5-1/4" x 4"
• (4) strips, 3/4" x 2-5/8"
• Top Layer: Winter Meadow 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper 3" x 4-14"

Scraps of:

• Azure Afternoon Cardstock
• Bubble Bath Cardstock
• Crushed Curry Cardstock
• Gorgeous Grape Cardstock
• Night of Navy

STAMPS & DIES

• Go To Greetings
• Sentimental Park Dies (large Flower Die)
• Stylish Shapes Dies (third and fourth circles)

INK

• Night of Navy

ADHESIVES

• Stampin' Seal
• Multipurpose Liquid Glue
• Mini Glue Dots
• Stampin' Dimensionals

EMBELLISHMENTS

• Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels

TOOLS

• Bone Folder
• Take your Pick
• Paper Snips
• Paper Trimmer
• Mini Cut & Emboss Machine

You can watch the video to see how this card is made.  After I had done the video, I added one more strip, using the Holographic Trio Paper.  I cut a 1/4" strip to lay between the top layer and the strips.  I think it gives it a more complete, and finished look.  Don't you?  If you wish to purchase any of the products used in today's session, please stop at my shop, or click on the product(s) below.

Napkin Cards

Some of the most beautiful cards come in the simplest form.   That's what we find in today's project.  A napkin card can be the most beautiful card, and it's a very simple technique that anyone can do!

First, head to your store and pick up the napkins of choice.  I found good selections at Hobby Lobby and Home Goods.  You might find something else at the Dollar Store or Walmart.  The choice is really up to you.  While you're at it, pick up a glue stick.  You will need it for this card. 

Here's what you will need to complete this card:

PAPER

• Base:  5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Pretty Peacock
• Layers:  (2) 5-1/4" x 4" of Basic White

STAMPS

• Cottage Wreaths Photopolymer Stamp Set

INK

• Pretty Peacock Classic Stampin' Pad

ADHESIVES

Christmas Gift Tags

One of my favorite things to make for Christmas is all my gift tags.  I love finding new and creative ways to make them, rather than just sticking a "to and from" on a small card.  Today I'm showing you a gift tag that is made with one of our winter designer series paper sets and a tag topper that makes it unique and fun!  You can watch this video to see how easy this is to make.

Here's what you will need:

PAPER:

• Base: 4-1/4" x 2" Cardstock (I used Blueberry Bushel)
• Layer with: 4-1/8" x 2-7/8" Designer Series Paper ( I used Winter Meadow)

STAMPS:

INK:

• Blueberry Bushel Classic Stampin" Pad

ADHESIVES:

• Stampin' Seal

Four Quick and Easy Sponge, Stamp & Embossing Cards

I learned how to do these cards through Tina Zinck, another demonstrator.  They were fun to do, and quite easy to put together.  If you can use one stamp set that has lots of greenery to use, it works best. I didn't have one for which I could use just the set, so I pulled stamps from four different stamp sets to create what I wanted.  I need to mention, that I forgot to apply the embellishments in the video, however, the picture displays them, and they are mentioned below.

They turned out very pretty and I'm excited to share them with you!  Your recipients will love them as well!  Here's what you will need:
