Birthday Card

 Happy Birthday Alyssa.  Here is the birthday card I made for my granddaughter who turns 13 on the 28th of this month.  I found the design on Pinterest from a card from Emma Trenouth.

Tip Tuesday

Thinlits and Framelits storage

I like to keep my thinlits and framelits together with my stamp sets.  I cut a magnetic sheet 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" or smaller depending on the number of thinlits that need to go on the sheet.  I cut two smaller sheets and  attach them together so I could put thinlits on both sides.  The number on the  magnet sheet is how many are in the set of thinlits.  This way I can make sure they are all accounted for before putting them away.

The sheets I use are Ventilation sheets for the vents in your house.  They can be found at Lowes or Home Depot for about $5.  There are 3 sheets to each pack.  I cut them to the size I need and save the left over and use the smaller pieces for other projects like book marks, etc.  The size of each sheet is approximately 8" x 15".)

I hope you find Today's Tip helpful.   Thanks for stopping by!

Masculine Monday

Love the stamp set Guy Greetings.  Here is a card from one of my past monthly classes.  A young man in our neighborhood helped us by picking up a refrigerator and putting it in my stamp studio. Thank you again Doris for your generosity in giving me the refrigerator!  I gave him this card using the words Thank You of course, with a small gift inside.  It seemed very appropriate.  What do you think?

  This is a simple card with layers and hand cut greeting.  I used a blender pen, Smoky Slate and Powder Pink ink pads to color the image.                                                                        

Inside the card I stamped the top of the man on Whisper White CS.  I punched it with the 1 1/4" circle punch, then punched out the CS behind the focal image with the 1 3/8" circle punch.  It is attached with 2 dimensionals.  On the bottom inside of the card are 2 strips of Dapper Denim (1/8" and Designer Paper  1/4")  The flap of the envelope has a piece of 2 1/4" x 6" DP and cut off the excess.

Thanks for stopping by today.
