Birthday Card

 I needed another birthday card, so I decided to make one with washi tape! I told myself that I cannot buy anymore tape until I use up what I have - LOL!   I loved how it turned out and it was so quick and easy.  I should have made some more to keep on hand.  I made my base card in Whisper White and the first layer is in Daffodil Delight.  I then cut a layer of CS and layered it with washi tape.


I used gold embossing powder for my sentiment from SU's stamp set Butterfly Basics and layered it in some more Daffodil Delight.  To make my balloons I used my Balloon Punch from SU and some more Daffodil CS and glitter paper.


For my inside sentiment, I used SU's stamp set Approaching Perfection, used my gold embossing powder and decorated it with some more washi tape.  Joe's birthday is coming up next week, so I may give him this card.  I'm sure he'll like the sentiment.

Pansy Birthday Card

 Oh my, I can't believe almost 3 weeks have gone by since I last posted.  It seems like yesterday.  We have been enjoying spending time with Jennifer and of course Daisy.  My daughter went back to work for 2 days a week and Jennifer is in camp those days, which means Daisy is alone for most of the day.  So far - so good!  When they get home she is there to greet them at the door with lots of hugs and kisses!  

I made a few birthday cards but didn't have a chance to post them.  This card was for my daughter Margaret.  Of course, I decided to use my Burst of Spring Collection from Heartfelt Creations.  For my base card, I used a piece of their 6" x 6" DSP and adhered it to my base card.  Their paper makes it so easy to match everything together.


I then used their Sweetheart Borders die and placed one on the top and bottom of the card.  I usually make my own flowers but decided to use the preprinted pansies/leaves in the DSP.  I die cut them and put them together and used some prills for the centers.  I die cut some of their matching tags as well to put on the front of the card.  


For the inside, I used another 6" x 6" panel.  I love how it all came together and was quick and easy to make which was what I needed.

Here is a picture of Jennifer riding her car.  We had such a great time that day!  So nice to be outside!


And here she is at Camp. Unfortunately, she has to wear a mask when they are inside.


It is hard to believe that we are coming to the end of July!  We had such a cold, freezing and snowy winter and this summer has been so hot.  This weather has been so crazy!  I hope everyone is enjoying being outside and having a great time!

Thanks for stopping by,
