Masculine Birthday

I really struggle with masculine cards.  Here is a card I made for my boss for his birthday.  Nothing too fancy.

Thank You Card

I made this card for a customer of mine.  It was the first time that I have made a 3x3 card. I am totally in love with this size of a card.  So many possibilities!!

Graduation Card

Here is a grad card that I made for a family friend.  I have been seeing a lot of cards of this style using the long scraps of paper.  I thought it was perfect for a masculine grad card.  These are just scraps from my drawer.  Finally, a way to use some of them :)

Sympathy Card

Over the next week or so, I will be posting a few projects/cards that I have made but hadn't had a chance to post yet.  The first is this pretty sympathy card.

I made this card using the Deamin' paper kit from Close to My Heart. This was a card for my dear friend, Amy's, family for the loss of her step-dad.  I based the card off of a Mojo Monday sketch. It was the first time that I had tried one of their sketches.  I think it turned out well - if I do say so myself!

More Open House Photos

Here are some more pictures from my Open House a couple of weekends ago.

This first card was inspired by the one in the Idea Book on page 85. I loved the colors and the stamp set (Remarkable Wreath C1473) used in their card, but I didn't want to 'copy' it exactly, so I decided not to make a shaped card.   The second card I made I really wanted to use the flowers from Hooray Bouquet (D1491) stamp set.  I know I will have a lot of fun with this one. And it was super easy making the flowers by using the coordinating cuts on my Cricut with the Art Philosophy cartridge rather than cutting them out by hand!

Pretty Birthday Card

Here is a birthday card that I made for a very special friend.  I was inspired by the card on Page 123 of the Idea Book.

Graduation Card

Here are the graduation cards I made this year. I usually try to do a different card for each person, but I was short on time this year, so I made the same card for all 5 grads we knew this year.

A Few Cards

Here are a couple of cards that I made. The top one was a birthday card for one of my friends. The middle one was the card I gave to my BFF with her book, and the bottom one I made for a boy in my son's Scout troop that had earned his Eagle rank.
