Happy Birthday

I finally can post this card I made for my friend, Laurie, for her birthday because she has received it!  

Used my favorite new set, A Little Argyle, for the bottom in her favorite colors.

The flower was colored in using the Pure Poppy copic trio and popped up.

The sentiment is from last years PTI anniversary set, Everyday Classics.  LOVE that set with it's sentiments!

Can you believe....no ribbon?  Yep, that black strip is textured cardstock.

On another note, a while back I sent Laurie an idea for an image for my personalized stamp.  She took my idea and drew her own image and whalaaa.....my own personalized stamp!  I love how it turned out!!  Thanks Laurie for your design work!! 

(She also designed my blog header from an idea I sent her.  She is soo talented!)

Baby on Board!

My husband needed a baby card for a co-worker this week.  This is what I came up with....using the new Enjoy the Ride stamp set from PTI!!  Way, way, cute stamp set that has a coordinating die for the car!!!

I also tried my "accident" rick rack again today!!  I LOVE the larger rick rack!!!  Just run your die through twice however wide you want your rick rack.  The middle piece between the 2 actual rick racks is a larger piece!!!  When you are done, you actually have 2 pieces for your scrap pile that you won't have to cut later!!

Also, had to use my new favorite set, A Little Argyle too!!  This will definitely be one of those "all the time" sets to use!!!  This is not a standard A2 card......the Hibiscus Burst base was actually a scrap from my pile so I just used that!!  As I was photographing this, I knocked it off the stand several time and bent one corner and made a dent in the rick rack!!  ughhh.....  Here is a close up of the car....Love how the headlights  size is PERFECT for those larger rhinestones!!  I wish that you could see that I outlined the license plate with a silver gelly pen!!  It really sparkles IRL!!!

Well, what do you think?  Have a great week!!
