HAPPY BIRTHDAY TEA BAG FOLD CARD

This embossing folder from Cuttlebug is really nice. I have had it for a while and have been wanting to use it. It is blank on the bottom right corner so I added a tea bag fold medallion using tiles that I printed free from http://paperprintables.com. PaperPrintables is one terrific site. BTW, they now have free digital images there and Nunu is one gal (free digital image) you want to meet! I have plans for her! Back to the card, I added a burgandy ribbon bow and a pink flower brad in the center of the medallion. Thanks for stopping by! Have a marvelous Monday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEDALLION CARD!

These colors are so popular right now! I never would have tried turquoise and lime green together, on my own, but I have been inspired by others' cards and jewelry! The embossing powder, sentiment and medallion image are from Sparklensprinkle. I used Nesties to diecut the medallion and layers. There is an orange thread bow on the top right and a Fiskars border punch trim on the bottom. Thanks for stopping by! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

These three cards are so similar that I decided to post them together! They are made with Stampin Up die cut flowers (layered) and Cuttlebug embossing folders. I am using up as much paper from my stash as I can. The last one is my favorite. These diecuts are so big, I really did not know what to do with them!

Today I got a new "Assignment" or "Project" as I like to call it. My sister and I make cards for the Foster Children in our county here in Florida. (Birthday, Christmas, Graduation, Happy Adoption) The administrators are going to have an event to get birthday gifts donated for the Foster Children. (It works like the "Christmas Angel Tree.") They would like us to make as many birthday cards as we can, to hang on their trees. Then good folks will choose a birthday card from the tree. Each card will have the foster child's name, age and desired gift on the back of the card. Folks choose the card, buy the gift and return the card and gift to the center where it is distributed to the child on their birthday. I said I would do 100 cards to start. I'll post some here. It will motivate me to get moving! I love projects like this!

Thank You for stopping by. More to come!

Unfortunately, I needed a sympathy card for a friend whose dad passed away. This set from SparkleNSprinkle has some lovely sympathy sentiments. I used large scallop rectangle nesties along with a Fiskars corner punch for the layers. The BG images are also from SparkleNSprinkle. I made a similar card below, but used cuttlebug Embossing folders for the layers. Hope to have something more cheerful tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by. More to come!

This Happy Birthday card is for a Fabulous Friend, Norma! She is a card maker and scrapbooker. She enjoys tea bag folding and so I thought she would like a tea bag fold medallion on her BD Card.

I made the Tea Bag tiles by stamping Impression Obsessions Delft Cube #4 on some rainbow colored designer paper that had no pattern. I cut out eight squares and used a standard tea bag fold pattern called "Multi-Petal Flower" from the book:"Tea bag Folding with Rubber Stamps" by Mitra Palmer Friant. (I LOVE this book!) After gluing them together, I mounted them on matching green CS and added a brad from my stash. This was layered onto a Cuttlebug embossed and inked yellow CS with rounded corners. (Happy Birthday Folder) I added a bow on top.

The inside of the card is funny and a guaranteed laugh! Both images are from Art Impressions. The "Lady" is colored with markers and a water pen. I hope Norma enjoys this card! More to come!
