Forgotten Birthday Card.

I didn't forget the birthday....this year, just to post the card that I made for our brother-in-law. His birthday is New Year's Eve so it gets missed or forgotten a lot ;-(

This year I was on the ball and didn't forget it, YEAH!!

I love the Circle Circus set, it's so versatile and can be glammed up or toned down, it can be used for any occasion.
I actually used my Color Coach for this card and created a card front using Daffodil Delight, Marina Mist, Rich Razzleberry, and Real Red inks and the different circles in the set.

I used a piece of Real Red that has been scalloped with the Bigz XL die, Tasteful Trim, they were mounted on a Marina Mist card base,with a piece of Daffodil Delight 1/8" taffeta ribbon wrapped around it.

The sentiment is from  the set "On Your Birthday", stamped inside the dotted, real red, circle from the set on Whisper White, inked with Marina Mist. This is punched out with the 1 1/4" circle punch and mounted on a Real Red 1 3/8" circle and this was all popped up on dimensionals on to a Marina Mist Scallop Circle that has white gel pen dots on each scallop, then attached with adhesive to the card front.

It's a pretty card, I will have to use the Color Coach more often.

Thanks for coming by!

Spirelli Circles

These were cards I did for a swap I was in. I used my Spirelli punches and sewing machine embroidery thread for the embellishments. These were placed on backgrounds stamped with Circle Circus. The pink card is stamped with Pink Passion and Pixie Pink while the Purples are Orchid Opulence and Lovely Lilac. The sentiment is from Simple friendship which was punched out with a Word Window punch and then layered onto the Modern Label punch. I added a self stick Rhinestone to the centre of each medallion and some silver sticker dots to the petals for added bling. The results are actually quite nice IRL.

Hope you have a nice day!
Thanks for looking.

I've had a great time lately making these great post it note holders. They are very simple and I found the idea on a youtube video by Dawn Griffith, it can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAsOkubiK0I

They were fun to do and give to friends. I loved playing with the new in-colors and new stamp set from the new catalogue. I must do some that are holiday related next

I hope you all had a great weekend.

Thanks for stopping by,
