Birthday card for a Teenage Girl

This is a birthday card I made for my 17-year old niece.  Hope she likes it.  It's sometimes hard to know if you're getting it "right" with that age.  You don't want the card to come off too childish, or trying to be too cool either.  I took a shot...hopefully it's the right choice.

Card is 5x6.5

A Humorous Birthday Card

My husband needed a birthday card for his sister.  In fact, for both his sister and her husband--they share the same birthday! Unusual, huh?  Anyway, I asked my husband for his input to try to get an idea of what to make.  I showed him my Fiskars Make a Wish clear stamps and he chose this sentiment. 

Hmmm....now what did I have that would go with this sentiment.  Couldn't really think of any die cut image I could use, but I immediately thought of a stamp I had that seemed perfect.

I'm liking this...but it needed something else to make it a real zinger!

MY FINISHED PRODUCT!!

Hope you like my card!

Die Cuttin' Divas Sketch Challenge

Hi Everyone!

 

It's a brand new week, and a brand new challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas.   This week is a Sketch Challenge, and we invite you to play along.

 

 

 

I love sketch challenges.  For me, you don't have to think about how you're going to lay things out; you just have to pick the papers and embellishments.  I haven't ever made a sympathy card, so I thought this sketch would be perfect to add such a card to my inventory.

 

Recipe

Light gold cardstock folded to 5"x7"

KandCompany Classic K Bailey Designer Paper

Elegant Edges, pg. 62, Clover

Making Memories ribbon, Antique

Fiskars border punch, Threading Water

Yellow button, gold twine

Hero Arts Stamps-Everyday Sayings

(for outside sentiment)

TPC Studio Card Crafting Everyday

(for inside sentiment)

 

On the inside, I fussy cut 2 of the flowers from the designer paper--I really like how that looks!

 

This week's sponsor is one of our very own Die Cuttin' Divas, Suzanne, who is providing a goody bag to the lucky winner.

 

You will have one week to plan, create, and submit your project.  There will be a showcase later this week and the winner will be announced next Tuesday.  Please remember to include which die-cut you used with a link back to Die Cuttin' Divas.

We look foward to seeing what you create!

Valentiny Cards

I made these 3x3 Valentine cards for the Fantabulous Cricut challenge.  All the cuts are from Create a Critter, the bear is cut at 2-1/2", and the butterfly and cupcake are cut at 2-1/4". I used Elegant Edges to cut the background papers on the bear and cupcake card.  I'm also going to include these cards with the others I'm sending to Faith Abigail to donate to sick children in the hospital.

Hope you like them!  Thanks for stopping by!

Valentine's Cards for Kids

About a week ago, Faith Abigail Designs had a blog hop, and each blogger created a Valentine's Day card for a sick child.  Although the hop is over, you can still create a Valentine's card and link it to Faith's blog.  The link-up will remain open until February 7th at 12:00am. Then you should mail your card to the address provided at her blog. On February 10th, all of the cards will be collected and donated to a local children's hospital. 

I wanted to make a few cards for the cause.  I started with this one which is an A2 card.  I cut the bug at 3" from Simply Charmed.  Used a PK stamp for the bug's face, and a stamp from My Pink Stamper Buggy Punnies.  Added a little ribbon and stamped the sentiment and hearts at the top, and here's a cute card!



I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:

     Cardz TV Challenge #101 - make a Valentine Card

     My Creative Time - make a Valentine Card

The following card was made with a pre-printed page from a scrap calendar my daughter bought me one year for Christmas.  I trimmed it, stamped it, and added hearts to the corners.  Simple!

I'd like to also enter this card into this challenge:
