I was approach-ed just prior to Christmas by our school's secretary, Mrs. J on making her granddaughter's first birthday card. So, it was without hesitation that I agreed!
Fortunately for me, I was the lucky recipient of the
Stampin' Up! Wild About You set from my good friend Ang for Christmas. *
wink* On the other hand I was unfortunate when my creativity decided to take a longer sabbatical than agreed by the two of us. *
rolling eyes* However...not only did I come up with one, but make that two cards for Mrs. J to choose from today. So without further a do...
For my
first card, I chose to use a square design using certainly celery cardstock stamped with
On the Spot background. The ticket punch was used on the corners of the birthday paper by
Diecuts With A View. The elephant was stamped twice in going gray and cut-out and layered using dimensionals onto the scalloped punched circle. The dots were applied within the scallops with a white
gelly roll pen. Final touches consist of white organdy ribbon, wiggle eye and punched
Bazzill flower.
My
second card was made using tempting turquoise cardstock stamped with
Dots & Daisies in tempting turquoise ink. Flower centers were applied using a white
gelly roll pen. The oval was cut using a
Coluzzle cutting system and embossed using the happy birthday embossing folders by
Cuttlebug. Lavendar lace cardstock was punched using the
Marvy Uchida scalloped oval. Scallops were pierced and then glittered using
Art Glitter Ultrafine transparent
Angel Dust. Elephant was stamped twice, cut-out and mounted using dimensionals. Final touches consist of white organdy ribbon, wiggle eye and punched flower.
All items used are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise stated.
... another happy customer! *
wink*I look forward to our next visit, until then...
Items to the left along with my card are headed off to surprise Alli in the UK... hope she likes her RAK! Mums the word.... *wink*
