Manhattan Flower Birthday Cards

I made these two cards for friends at work who have birthdays this week. We got them cream filled donut holes (yum!!) and flowers they can plant outside. I'm the official card maker for all events we ladies need at work. :) There is a demo whose card is published in this months Stampin' Success and I cased her card. Stampin’ Success is a monthly mini magazine Stampin' Up! sends to current demos. Her name is Jodi-Danielle Kutz from Sarnia, Ontario. I like to give credit to those who inspire me and her card was beautiful. I hope to do some scrappin this week I am now finished with my second job so have more free time. There is only 11 more days until I am off totally for the summer so I am planning to craft a lot after that. WOO-HOO!!!! Hope everyone has a great evening and thanks for visiting!!

Supplies I used:

Hero Arts butterfly stamp set
Close to Cocoa ink
Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze, Close to Cocoa, Whisper White and Parisian Breeze Specialty paper
Manhattan Flower embossing folder, Chocolate Chip ribbon

Been Awhile!!

I have been MIA lately and for all of you who check my blog regularly for updates thanks so much. Two weeks ago we lost my Aunt Ann. I wrote about her in my last post. She was in ICU and we hoped she would recover but she got an infection in her lungs that she just could not fight. She was my moms younger sister and best friend. I spent my whole life, before I was married, living only a mile away from her and my uncle. We rode to church together, vacationed and spend holidays together. Ann was like a another mom to me and my sister and she was one of the most loving and sweetest ladies you could meet and we will all miss her so much. Please remember my mom and uncle in your prayers. My uncle is doing as well as can be expected but my mom is having a really hard time with it.

I have not felt very crafty lately but wanted to post these cards I made a couple of weeks ago. We made them in my last card class. The first card I try “thumping” for the first time and really like the results. I used Color Challenge (CC203) on Splitcoast.

Stuff I used:
Sets: Upsy Daisy
Cardstock: Baja Breeze, Garden Green, Pacific Point, Baja Breeze DP
Ink: Baja Breeze
Marker: Garden Green
Tempting Turquoise Ribbon, Ribbon Slide, CB Folder

On the last two cards I used the Crazy for Cupcakes set and did not write down what I used but all products used where SU. I received my order of some new stuff this past week from SU. I got the "Branching Out" and "Thoughts and Prayer" sets along with other goodies. I hope to make some cards tomorrow with them. I need to make some cards for my next class in two weeks. I also need to make thank you cards for a friend who sent me a flower arrangement and one for my sister-in-law for bringing me a spring wreath for my door. I hope to post some cards before the week is out.


Thanks so much for visiting and have a good night!!!

I finally got to play around yesterday and make some cards. I love the sheer green ribbon on the last card . I purchased it Friday from a local scrapbook store. It is so soft and scarf like..very easy to work with. I have used it all so I will be doing back this week to get more. The Halloween card was a time consuming project but I like how it turned out. I think it would be cute to put a wallet size picture of kids in costume in it. I would like to find the time to make a few Christmas ones with my girls and our new puppy in it to send to family that live far away. I just have to find the time. My sister and I order the Hero Arts cupcake set last week and this is the first card I made from it. I really like the bella paper. It is so pretty. Well have to go now hope to have some projects this weekend to post. Thanks for Visiting and Have a Great Week!!
