AN OWL POP UP CARD

This card was a tutorial from Darlenes cards.  She has the most fantastic owl cards using the stampin up owl punch.   Her instruction are great and the cards are fun to make.   

50th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY CARD

Another casual Anniversary card.   This card was made for a couple that live in the country overlooking a lake.  It seemed really fitting for them.   I got the idea from a similar pin.   The image is Mo Manning and the log cabin is a stampscapes stamp.  The log cabin scene was colored  with  sponges and  stampin up inks. 

The couple were done in  water color pencils. 

THANK YOU CARD

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to be included in a small group of chosen few, for dinner, in honor of a very special person.   We were totally spoiled with good food , wine and great company.  This is a thank you note for the women who did all the work to make the evening so great.

A CASUAL 25TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY CARD

After looking at the anniversary cards, they very quickly started all looking familiar.   If they don't have hearts, they have flowers on them.   I needed a simple card for a 25th anniversary BBQ.   So this is what I came up with. 

18th BIRTHDAY BALLOONS

An 18th birthday should be special.  My friends granddaughter loved looking at the old photo albums so it had to be about pictures and what birthday would be complete without balloons.   So I scanned in a photo of the birthday girl from age 1 - 18   and mounted 17 of them on  30 inch dowels with  matching balloons and curly ribbon.   I had one   3.5 ft  balloon in the back which held the gift bag with an album to put all the pictures.  They were secured to the little gift boxes which had candies on top.

VICTORIA SECRET CARD

Most of the cards I make are at the requests of  friends and  family. This card is for my best friends sweet granddaughter who turned 18 today.  She is a big fan of  Victoria Secret so I had some fun  making her this card.   There is a pocket on the inside which holds a gift card.

I swapped out the model on the poster in the store and put a picture of the birthday girl.

SPECIAL ANNIVERSARIES

The following cards are for a friend who is going to a 25th  and 50th  wedding anniversary parties. I decided to make 4 cards,  2  for each occasion so she could choose.  These are the first two. The card ideas were taken from the net but adapted to my supplies and tools. Unfortunately  I could not capture on camera the beautiful gold paper from the  50th anniversary card.

BABY CHRISTENING CARD

It is hard to come up with a baby christening card idea.  I didn't  want it to look like a new baby card but  I wanted to keep it baby themed.   This image is from Lily of the Valley , colored with spectrum noir markers.
