Birthday: Made by my Sister

My sister Connie again took tissue paper, wrinkled it up, smoothed it out, then glued it on the card stock. The tissue paper with such a beautiful pattern became the focus of the card. She used ribbon with a "Celebrate" slide and four corner brads. The card is beautifully simple.

Birthday Waterfall Card for My Son

While I was making the Waterfall Card for my mom, I decided to keep going. This card I chose the blue theme for my son. I used colored pencils to color the stamped images.

Birthday Waterfall Card for My Mom

The Waterfall Card starts with a 2 inch by 9 inch strip attached to the card with eyelets. The strip is scored and 2 inch stamped squares are attached. When the strip is pulled from the bottom, it creates a waterfall effect. I used an eyelet to attach the pull ribbon at the bottom. I also covered the back to hide the eyelets.

It's All About You Embossed Birthday Card

I used:

• Burgundy and Cream card stock
• Burgundy ribbon
• rubber stamps for inside and back

This was a fast and elegant card for my sister-in-law. For the front of the card, I used the You embossing folder from Cuttlebug. I used birthday rubber stamps for the inside of the card.

Birthday Card from Stampin' Up

I attended a Stampin' Up party and this is what I created. The SU representative had all of the stamps and pads, card stock (cut already), ribbon, and foam stickies for us. What a pleasure to make cards with good friends!
