Birthday Card for my Son

Hello everyone,

I would like to show off the birthday card I made for my son:


I made a pool table card. :)


I painted the medium size beads to mimic the colors of billiard balls.


I used some green felt, cut out the pool table frame from cardstock and covered it with ultra thick embossing enamel to get that shiny look, and I did that with Q-sticks too.


I think my son will have a kick out of this one :)

I would like to enter this card into following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge "You've got the Edge"

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge "Anything Goes"

The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge "Boys to Men"

I hope you enjoyed this post...
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by...






UPDATE: 08/07/2017
My card was featured at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!!! I am thrilled and so honored.

Elegant Love Card with Black Roses

Hello everyone,

Here is my latest make:


There are 45 roses on this card, all hand made by me. I used Sue Willson Camellia dies to make my roses.


Love die cut in red is a Penny Black "Love" die.


Damask pattern peeking in the heart shape background is a free printable that I found on Pinterest, I think...


One more look at the finished card...

I made this card exclusively for the Double D Challenge, since I loved their mood board and theme:

Scrapy Land Challenge #70

Hello everyone,

it is time for a new challenge at Scrapy Land Blog and the theme is Anything Goes  using dies that Scrapy Land Store carries.
Here is what I made for this challenge inspiration:


I used patterned cardstock with glitter for my base.


I created a window with Spellbinders Labels 31 die, but you can also use Sue Wilson California Collection Decorative Frames as a substitute to create the same effect. I used a die from that same set for my sentiment die cut.

I made the flowers using the Sue Wilson Finishing Touches - Tropical Hibiscus dies
I added microbeads to the stems.

I also added some Cheery Lynn Leafy Flourish diecuts.


One more look at the card...

I made two baby cards for this challenge inspiration:


I used patterned cardstock in pastel colors for the bases.




I added Cheery Lynn English Tea Party Doily.




The next die ontop of the doily is Spellbinders Large Ovals, but you can substitute that die with Lawn Fawn - Large Stitched Oval Stackables Die





Then I added Spellbinders Lonely Hearts Shapeabilities die, again you can substitute this die with Sue Wilson Designs - Striplet - Embroidered for similar effect.

This adorable rocking horse is die from Yvonne Creations - Dies - Tots & Toddlers - Rocking Horse
I added a double tiered bow to finish the design...
