Happy Birthday

I don't know if you are like me but it seems I never have enough guy cards. I almost always make cards for girls. You know flowers and things and pinks. So I just recently made a bunch of guy cards to have on hand and this fun card was one of them. It is hard to see but in the inside center is a gift card holder. The sentiments were computer generated and hand cut out. I made this from a file by my friend Sue Neal.

Birthday Dog Card and Box

Hi friends, I have a fun little card and box to share with you today. My little grandson has been begging me to get him a dog for his birthday. He would say it's okay my mom would have to let me keep it since it was a gift and on and on. Just begging and begging. It was so hard not to get him a dog, but I knew his mom didn't want to have to deal with one. So I made him this little dog shaped card and a dog house treat box. He loved it. He still wished it was real but he loved it.

The dog is a Lori Whitlock file and the dog house is from Sweet Afton both from the Silhouette store. I did change the box slightly, the bone was supposed to be cut out of the house but I released it and then made it larger and cut it out of white paper and put it above the door with pop dots.

Treat or Gift Box

This cute little box is another Stampin Up die. It is the Baker's Box Thinlits die. The stamp is also from Stampin Up. I then colored the flowers in with water color pencils and used gamsol to soften the blend the colors. I then outlined the image with a cool gray copic marker.

Birthday Card

I love cards that are a little different and so when Lori Whitlock came out with these new designs I had to try them. The verdict...I love them! They are not hard to make at all and are so fun.

Happy Birthday Box

I'm BACK!!!! Africa was amazing and I loved the people and the animals but I am so glad to be back home!!! I am trying to get back to a normal life, well as normal can be now with all the craziness in the world. Spending time with family and catching up on some much needed crafting.

I made this little box for my sweet daughter in law for her birthday. I used the window box thinlets dies from Stampin Up. It was super fast and easy to do and I just love the detail on the box.
