Birthday Card and Gift Box

Lipton Tea has changed their packaging to include three 1 3/4" x 5 3/4" x 2 3/8" boxes that hold the teabags encased in gold foil.  I thought the boxes would be the perfect size to hold small items, candy, or other treats so I designed a lid to fit the box base.

Lid measures 3 3/4" x 7 5/8" scored on all four sides at 1"

Papers:  Whisper White, Mossy Meadow and Painted Blossoms DSP; Paper Pumpkin tissue paper

Inks:  Mossy Meadow

Cowgirls Rule

Cowgirls Rule

Set three of the Western Themed cards are two Feminine Birthday Cards.   The pink boot card was posted earlier on my blog in March called "Cowgirl Birthday."  You can see the details for this card on that post.

The second card was made using the SU Out West and Wanted sets.  Stamped on SU Craft card stock.  Melon Mambo was run through the Sizzix Lattice embossing folder then torn and rubbed with Chocolate Chip ink.  Sides of the card stock were distressed and also rubbed with ink.  Sentiment is from Petite Pairs.

the metallion was stamped on craft card stock in Chocolate Chip ink, punched out with circle punch with a hole punched in the center to string the twine through.

Cowgirl Birthday

This Cowgirl Birthday card was made following a design by Renee' Matarese athttp://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...amp;si=Cowgirl

Renee' has some great ideas for cards on her site.

I used Stampin' Up papers and a strip of My Mind's Eye Bohemia.

The Star brad and strip loop are from SU hodgepodge hardware.

The horse is from a line drawing found on the internet.

I really enjoyed making this card for my great grand niece for her birthday this year.

Birthday Fairy

I made this birthday card for my granddaughter's 19th birthday. She has a wonderful future ahead of her and we are so proud to be her grandparents. Her favorite color is green and I just know that she will love this little fairy.

Papers: Old Olive and Calypso Coral. Designer paper is from K&Company "Classic K". 

I prefer to use Recollections white paper when coloring with my Copic Markers. I have tried the more expensive papers recommended by many Copic Marker artists, but in my opinion the inexpensive Recollections from Michael's takes the ink better and makes clearer colors.

Stamps: Silver Fairy by Wee Stamps for Whimsy Stamps. Thank you Sylvia Zet for designing this beautiful stamp. The tiny butterfly is by Cavallini, stamped on Calypso Coral and colored over with Clear Spica pen as are the wings of the fairy. Her bell is colored with Chocolate Spica pen.

Flowers are MS Stamp and Punch flower and Studio G daisy. Leaves are Cheery Lyn Olive Branches.

Pearls are by Recollections.

Happy Birthday Robin

Birthday Card for my sister.

Robin

I was inspired by Tracy MacDonald's 4 Christmas Robins card found here:

http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2083226

This card is for my sister Robin who has a birthday later this month.

I used Stampin' Up Kraft, Whisper White and Black papers all trimmed on the edge with Martha Stewart Doily Lace edge punch.

The3  birds are by Inkadinkado and the little bird is from Stampin' Up all were colored with Primsacolor pencils and Gamsol.  I rubbed a little Crystal Sparkles Tulip Glitter on their little chests to give them some sparkle.

Happy Birthday is from Stampin' Up Easy Events stamp set cut out with the word window punch.

I stamped two fo the flowers from the branch of the bird stamp and punched it out with a 3/4" circle punch, colored it with Primsacolors, wrote "Robin" on it, then adhered three other punched out circles to the back, sanded the edges and added Glossy Accents.

Spellbinders Nestabilities dies were used to cut out and frame the Robins.  Gingham ribbon ties it all up.

Thank you Tracy for the inspiration for this card.
