Birthday: Emboss and Die Duo


Cuttlebug has embossing and cutting die duos; I used the Birthday Wishes Duo. I embossed the candles on purple metalllic card stock. I also used their cutting die with the same purple metallic for the inside of the card. I put blue flame-shaped stickers inside some of the flames. Then I tied the white ribbon around the candles.

Birthday: Made by my Sister

My sister Connie took tissue paper, wrinkled it up, smoothed it out, then glued it on the green card stock. (The tissue paper was recycled wrapping, which makes it even better.)

She also used twine in the sliders die, a punched flower with a button center, and rubber stamps.

Beautiful card!

Birthday Card for my Brother


I love this card, both for the simplicity and beauty.
I embossed the Happy Birthday onto the blue card stock, putting it onto the white card.

I used the charms die on the white card stock, then embossed the charm with the happy birthday. I tied the charm onto the ribbon.

The inside has an Irish blessing from a rubber stamp.

I used:
  • Blue and white card stock
  • Happy Birthday embossing folder
  • Charms die
  • Blue ribbon
  • Rubber stamps

Birthday Card for my 102-Year-Old Grandmother

My grandmother celebrated her 102nd birthday!

I used the embossing with the purple, putting it on the white card. I used the charms die, then embossed it with the flower. Then I tied the ribbon. The inside was very simple with a happy birthday stamp.

I used:
  • Purple and white card stock
  • Stylized flower embossing folder
  • Charms die
  • Purple ribbon
  • Rubber stamps

Thank You Card Made Quickly

I used:
  • blue and white card stock
  • thank-you embossing folder
  • blue ribbon
  • blue stick on decorations
  • rubber stamps (inside)
  • computer generated verse (inside)
I needed nine thank-you cards, so I was looking for something fairly simple. I embossed the thank-you on white with a blue card. I chose a ribbon that would still show the message.

The inside had a computer generated paragraph, a rubber stamped "thank you", and enough room for a handwritten message.

The envelope used the rubber stamp that I used on the back of the card.
