Christmas in June. Tri-Shutter Card

Sorry the pics are so blurry. I have been thinking about a Christmas card like this ever since I saw a 4th of July card made like this. It's the most fun I can have with paper. Notice the stick pins I embellished this card with. My own design.

Finished Mother's Day card w/box

When I make cards I usually need to make a box, because the card will not fit into an envelope. I loved making this card for my mom. I used several Spellbinder dies, A2 Filigree Delight, Marvelous Squares, Floral Ovals, Carnation Creations for the big flower. The butterfly is a Martha Stuart punch (punched twice with both colors). The small flowers were punched with Marvy and EK Success small punches.  The leaves is a Die-namics die and the other greenery is a Martha Stuart punch. Then I added my favorite Bling!

Baby Shower

My mom and I are going to a baby shower Saturday. My grandson and his wife are going to have a baby girl. I made this card for her to take. As you can see the baby's name will be Abby.

The others are my Aunt Joann, her twin Kenneth and her other brother, Jerry and of course the cute kid smaller kid is me. I have left some blank pages for Joann to add her own pictures.

Rose

This rose was made with Spellbinders Blossom dies. The original on the blog I follow was made with Blossom 5, which I will try to purchase and make the rose with that one.

I ran the 3rd & 4th die from the Blossom set and then cut the petals. Then I used a mat & stylus to shape the petals, the smaller 2 I shaped on the front and I used the stylus on the back of the 3 larger ones to shape those. The smaller ones were used for the center, I then placed glossy accents on the 1st larger petals & waited for the glossy accents to dry. I then used glossy accents half way up on the petals and adhered the petals to the center of the flower.  The other 2 layers are glued on in the center 1 at a time and shaped.

Happy Valentine's Day

I couldn't find anything to stand this card up so I used a bucket. The top card is the front and the bottom is the inside. The card base is red cardstock. They look like 2 different cards, but are not, just the front and inside of 1 card. The cardstock is folded and cut so the top makes a hinge. the front and inside is made with vellum, embossed and colored with copic and CTMH markers, and bling added because it was needed.
