Birthday Whimsy Birthday Card

Jan 22, 08

I spent the better part of yesterday playing with Berry Bliss DP and decided to give the new Spring Fling DP a try. I decided a birthday card was a good one to do as I don't have many made right now. I got out the SAB set Birthday Wishes. Starting in Feb. this is one of the sets you can get for free! For every $50.00 order you get to pick a free set from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. Here is the card I made. Wish you could see the sparkle on the card from the rhinestones.

The scallops on this card were stamped in Regal Rose from All Scallops and then cut out. It is layered under the Designer paper to create the scalloped edge.

Coaster Picture Frame

Jan 3, 08

This is a quick and easy project that doesn't have much stamping to do. The Ginger Blossom Designer Paper is one of my new favorites, right after Berry Bliss. The picture is held on by the clip and will slide right under the Happy Tag. The It's All Good is a very cute and versatile Stamp Set for tags and cards and it is only $12.95 for 4 stamps which include the sayings Dream Big, de-lightful, Happy and Live, Laugh & Love. I used a glue stick to attach the paper to the coaster and sticky strip on the library clip.
