Framed Florets Celebrate

I needed a birthday card for a friend and I had just received Framed Florets and wanted to use it. I also had a negative piece of pink foil on my desk so I put the two together for this card.  

It's difficult to see in the picture the frame is cut from shimmer white cardstock.  

The foliage is cut from silver, vellum and Polished Pink.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!

Jumbo Curiosity: Butterfly

My daughter visited with her family and we had lots of time to craft together. This is my first card with the Jumbo Curiosity: Butterfly die by The Greetery.

After playing with the butterfly I figured out it works best to die cut and then ink blend using the stencil. I couldn't get it lined up the other way around.  I recently learned about Foundry Wax and thought it would look cool on the butterfly wings. I used the the end of a paint brush to apply the dots. I also splattered some of the gold onto the background but it is hard to see.

For the wood slice, I inked up the center part of the die with Early Espresso before die cutting so that the lines would show up better. After cutting I inked blended the outer ring with Vintage Photo DOX.

My son-in-law successfully defended his doctoral thesis last Friday and earned his PhD. Yay Brian!  This card went out in the mail today. Vickie - no peeking!!


He is a big lover lover of silver and black so of course I had to use those colors on his card.

All the extra doo dads are embossed in silver. I rubbed my embossing buddy over the black paper but there still is residue on the paper. Rats!

I die cut the celebrate 3 times in black and one time in silver and glued them all together before adhering to the card. This gives the sentiment a bit of dimension. The black panel was layered on silver paper, then white.


Thanks for stopping by today!
