Kelly's 40th

Hi There!  Laura here to share my latest make, a 40th birthday card for my little sister.

This is Tilda With Armful Of Flowers by Magnolia.  The base of the card and the postage stamp layer are made with the Cricut machine.  I'm using Nitwit Design papers.

I've used DooHickeys Dies for the flowers, leaves and balloons.  The large flowers are the leaves from the strawberry die the small brown flowers are from the club #9 the green leaves are club #7, the stem cut outs are from club #12 and balloons are club #5.

The circle and scallop circle are Spellbinder dies and the little heart on the balloon is from a La La Land banner.

Here is the inside.  The cake is DooHickeys club #5.

These are Tilda's Tags and the numbers are Sizzix.

Copic Markers = Face: E0000, E000, E00, E4, E11, E21, R20  Hair: YR21, YR31, E35, E37  Blouse: R000, R01, R22, R24, C1  Pants: BG0000, BG18, BG70  Shoes: W1, W3, W5  Flowers: R22, R24, R29, G40, G43, G94  Basket: YR24, YR27, E39

Dad's 87th

I've been such a bad blogger!

I do apologize for not posting.  February and March are the months I make the most cards for birthdays and anniversaries and as soon as I finish one, I start a new one and then forget to photograph. Ugh!  It's so frustrating when I've already sent it or given it and then find out it isn't in my camera.

Anyway, I did remember a few so I would like to start with this one that I made for my father in law's 87th birthday.

No stamped images for this one, just lots of delicious dies.  The cake and stand are from the DooHickeys Club Volume 5 and the candles are from Club Volume 12.

The 87 was cut using a Sizzix die by Brenda Walton.

Happy Birthday to You is from Lawn Fawn.

The shaker was made with a spellbinders die that I have no idea what the name is and I'm too lazy to look up.  :P

All of the dies are either colored or edged with Distress Inks.  I used Faded Jeans, Fired Brick, Spiced Marigold, Wild Honey & Vintage Photo.

Thank You so much for stopping by and taking a look.  I will be posting another birthday card that I made for my sister as soon as I know she has received it.  Have an awesome day and better tomorrows.

♥ Laura C.
