Hey there! I'm late posting this morning because my internet was down last night. I tried and tried to get it to come back up, but sometimes you just have to give it up, give it to God, and go to bed, so that's what I did.

I have internet this morning, so before it goes back down I wanted to get this Turtle Friends card posted for you:

As you probably already know, I try to make a special birthday card for each of my grandchildren. I used the Give It A Whirl Dies to create this card for Oakley's 8th birthday.

I adhered a print from the Pattern Party Host Designer Series Paper to a layer of Basic White before cutting with the front layer Give It A Whirl Die.

I held it all together with a black square brad from the Round & Square Brads pack. The Give It a Whirl Dies even cut the holes to attach the pieces together so everything lines up perfect!

Such a cute punny sentiment from Turtle Friends!

It's time to shell-ebrate!

Hey there! Today I have a birthday card to share with you that I created with the Mountain Air stamp set, Majestic Mountain dies, and the Evergreen Border Punch!

I used the Double Z-fold for this masculine card.

I used sentiments from the Best Year stamp set with Tuxedo Black ink.

I stamped the mountains with both Smoky Slate and Night of Navy ink, and the treeline with Evening Evergreen. I stamped the clouds with stamped-off Smoky Slate, and colored the sky with a Light Balmy Blue Stampin' Blend. I cut out a tree from Evening Evergreen card stock with a Majestic Mountain die.

Not much room to sign this one, so I will put a Basic White layer on the back.

Hey there! Today I have a couple of fun cards to share with you created with the Daisy Garden stamp set and Many Messages!

I did a modified Spotlighting technique, stamping the Daisy Garden exactly the same on both Very Vanilla and Cajun Craze using the Stamparatus, then cutting them apart and coloring only select pieces.

After I stamped with Soft Suede, cut the rectangles, and adhered to the Soft Suede card front, I then embossed the entire layer in the Ornate Floral 3D embossing folder.

I inked the Many Messages stamp with Soft Suede ink, then cut with the Messages die. You can cut out a ton of greetings all at once! I keep the spare greetings inside the stamp box!

I added Gilded Gems for a bit of sparkle.

Inside:

This version I colored one section of daisies with Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, and Old Olive Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers.

I added a bit of Very Vanilla 3/8" Scalloped Trim.

This card is perfect for almost any occasion!
