Congratulations!

It's my favorite time of year!  Peach season!  We trekked up to Georgia and loaded the car with peaches to bring home to eat, freeze and share.  Loving the way our house smells.

No peach themed project just yet but hubby needed a card for a male employee who just received a promotion so I was drafted to create one in company colors.

No stamping other than the sentiment. and the base swirls.  All supplies Papertrey Ink except for the acrylic stars which came from my stash.
Thanks for stopping by!

Die Cut Birthday Wishes

The talented Jennifer McGuire has a video using a partial die cut border technique.  Her set of notecards was beautiful, so I set out to try it.

It was a lot harder than it looked!  I just couldn't get the hang of the partial die cut border so I cheated and die cut the floral image separately and glued it down on the back of the white card stock.  I think I got pretty close to the same look.

I spritzed the the background and birthday sentiment die cut with some Glimmer Mist for some subtle shimmer and instead of her stamped sentiment, I added a big die cut sentiment and butterfly.



Supplies:
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink, Strathmore Smooth white
Dies: Papertrey Birthday Wishes, Simon Says Stamp Calliope Flourish
Other:  Martha Stewart butterfly punch, stick on pearls, Glimmer Mist

Celebrate 100!

Whew...it's been hot here but that's summer in the sub-tropics.  I'll take that to snow...any day!  :)

We have a sweet 96 year old long time friend who emailed and asked if I'd make a card for HER friend who is turning 100!

Yes, she does email!  She doesn't see well and French is her first language but she handles that keyboard like a champ.  She used to make Christmas ornaments for the grands every year until her eyesight got too bad for the tiny work.

Time was short so I totally cased a card by Danielle Flanders.  I thought 100 years of life deserved a party on paper and I loved the happy colors on her card.  I made just a few small changes.



Supplies:
Cardstock - Neenah 110 lb. Solar White, Gold- stash
Stamps/Dies - Papertrey Ink
Ink - A Muse Pigment Inks
Other - Sequins (Papertrey Ink), foam dots, Stick it paper, Crystal Effects

Thanks for stopping by!  Stay cool!
