More Birthday Cards

Here are SIX birthday cards I worked on while here in Connecticut. In a few days I'll be going to Florida to visit my nephews so I wanted to make sure that my card for my nephew Geovanni was ready. He turns 15 on July 2nd and that is the day we are traveling. I made him Christmas card  before and he really enjoyed it

I made this birthday card for my father-in-law, Pashito. I bought some new goodies from JoAnn's and Michael's and this cupcake sentiment is one of them. I love it. The stamp is from Lili of the Valley (of course) and I colored it in myself. Pashito's birthday is next June 7th.

CARD 868

I made this card for my sister-in-law Gladys (she's the one that loves purple). I used the "How many fingers are you?" sentiment because she saw it once and thought it was so cute. The outer image is also from Lili of the Valley. Since Gladys likes filmmaking and movies I put a little film reel embellishment on the outside. Glady's birthday is December 31st. I'm going to have my parents give her the card since I won't be here for that.

CARD 869

This is Geovanni's card. I put a little rabbit stamp from my clear stamp collection an I also used the "How many fingers..." sentiment inside. I don't know. I think he kind of resembles the rabbit, lol :p Geovanni's birthday is July 2nd.

CARD 870

I made this birthday card for my daddy. I used a stamp from LOTV and colored it in using colored pencils. I have a MUM one too. I think they are just too cute. Again I used the "How many fingers" sentiment inside and the button on the ribbon inside kinda reminds me of a hog's nose. LOL! My dad turns 62 on August 24th.

CARD 871

This is Little Miss Vicki's birthday card. Her FIRST BIRTHDAY! Can you believe it. It was only yesterday that she was born! And in three months she'll be 1. Glady is throwing her a big First Birthday bash but I don't think I will be here. I'm getting married in September and I might just be on my honeymoon during Little Misses party. I made her an easel card and used a stamp from LOTV. I think she sort of looks like this little tyke! The poem inside in from a batch I bought from ABCDistributing. It was longer so I had to cut it down. I love the flowers on this card. Vicki turns 1 on October 22nd.

CARD 872

I made this card below for my mom's birthday. She likes pretty things like nice clothes, shoes, and purses soooo.... I found this cute template for a purse and I decided to make her a purse card! I've never made one for her or anyone. I absolutely love the way it turned out and it wasn't very hard to do. Originally, I had planned to use LOTV's MUM stamp but I forgot along the way. When I did remember it was too late. The DP had too much going on by itself, for me to add that stamp. I love the giant orange gardenia too. My mom turns 63 on October 15th.

CARD 873

Birthday Cards Bunch!

A few weeks ago I was asked to make two birthday cards for one of my favorite customers, Becky. She gave me some pointers on what each of the two people like: her mother and sister. I decided I would make extra cards so that Becky had enough to choose from. She picked the last two cards below. The first three are for sale on my ETSY page.

For this card I made a doily shaped easel. I used string beads around the edges and DCWV DP. The flowers are from my stash and so is the cupcake embellie. The cardstock is bazzill bubblegum pink. This was the first card I made and a lot of fun! You can find this card for sale on my ETSY page.

CARD 612











  For this easel card I wanted to try something different besides square or doily. So I looked through my Cricut cartridges and thankfully found a square tag shape. I really love how this card came out. It's my favorite out of all five. The image is Lily of the Valley, my new favorite stamping store. The two girls are sitting on a wall, just hanging out. I imagine they're sisters. The DP is DCWV, the flowers are WOC. I used the ladder ribbon and beaded ribbon from my stash. The buttons are from my stash as well. This card is for sale on my ESTY page.
CARD 613











   This card was the doily shape. I used a Lili of the Valley cute card for my image in front. The flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts (love them! They have the best flowers!) I wanted to use a lot of white in this card so I went with a white Bazzill cardstock. This card is for sale on my ETSY page.
CARD 614











  For this card, again I used the tag shape for  my easel. I tried to go with a brown and blue color scheme but threw in some yellow and white with the ribbon. The flowers are from my stash, the cupcake DP is from DCWV. I  made the cupcake using my Cricut. This is the card Becky picked.  
CARD 615











    This is the last card I made. For this I also used a doily shape for the easel. I tried to use similar colors in the DP and the flowers.  I can't remember the name if the DP, it wasn't DCWV, it was someone else. The flowers are from my stash.  I wasn't sure how this was going to turn out. But I can't adding things and when I was finished I looked at it and was like, "Wow! Didn't think it would come out this good!" Lol! This is the other card Becky picked.
CARD 616

Mal's Birthday Cards

Recently, my co-worker Mal asked me to make her a card for her friend whose birthday was coming up. She showed me some cards she liked and told me he likes soccer and football and is Italian. So I thought and I thought, what to do. The day I worked on this one of the techs from AT&T came to install our U-Verse. We had a nice conversation on travel and my card-making hobby. He was good company. Voila, the finished cards...
