Celebrate 60 ~ happy birthday ;)

this card is a totally inspired CASE of a Teneale Williams card!

if you haven't seen her work, you are missing out!

so as you may have guessed, I needed a 60th birthday card for a friend...

after being inspired by Teneale's card,

I grabbed my scallop edge square punch, alot of dimensionals, the new PAPER DOILY sizzlit,

pennant parade die, scallop circle punch &

some scraps from my package of EVERYDAY ENCHANTMENT dsp

( from the 2012 SALE-A-BRATION)

& went to town CASEing the card...

each one of the 16 punched squares is raised with a dimensional dot!

love my results!!

I think they are fabulous!!

Birthday ~ Hello Doily

A couple of very dear friends had birthdays recently,

which gave me an excuse to do a couple of girly girl cards ;)

*the cards are pretty much the same except:

one has pearls & the other rhinestones

and one has seam binding & the other stitched-poly ribbon.

Matching Mittens & Idiot Strings ~ you gotta be kidding...?

My "NOT MATCHING MITTENS" card was

totally inspired by a card made by Connie Babbert (thanks).

The punched mittens & DSP/color selection is totally Connie

- the rest of the card design is me...

Connie's card had "mr & mrs" mittens, because she had done an anniversary card...

Mine had "NOT MATCHING MITTENS" cause I just totally missed it ;)

but, that's okay, LOL, I miss alot of things ;)

~ I had never heard the expression: "IDIOT STRINGS" until this weekend either

~ maybe that's my problem, I never got the "IDIOT STRINGS" memo...

who knew?

I got the "hoard massive quantities of rubber stamps

& papercrafting supplies" memo instead...

if you ask me ~ I got the better memo... ;)

I never would have thought of using the EVERYDAY ENCHANTMENT DSP,

(available Jan 24/12 for a limited time during SALE-A-BRATION) ;)

as a winter themed card choice, but I fell in love with the mittens & it snowballed from there ;)

"Punched Mittens" was one of the card/techniques we did during SU hostess club

& of course, I gave everyone the "same products & a sketch" to work with

& we all ended up with totally different cards ~ I love that part!!

check (& like) my facebook page (SCRAPPYWONDER)

for some of the hostess club member's cards...

card colors:

pool party, calypso coral, lucky limeade, very vanilla & soft suede...

MM1 ~ (but I missed it) ~ Winter Birthday

yesterday I found a neat blog challenge that I really quite like:

Merry Monday Challenge
(make at least one Christmas card from her sketch, every monday, each week)

now how FUN is that?

of course, I missed the link deadline, but I am not going to stress over that...

here's my card, a Winter Birthday rather than Christmas..

I love how it turned out!!!
