Birthday Wishes


This card was made for my uncle's birthday.  I haven't seen him since 1998 when my dad and grandmother passed away. I haven't been so good at keeping in touch, so one of my resolutions this year was to try to be better about sending cards for family birthdays.  Thus far, I have been able to keep that resolution!

The stamp is an oldie but goodie from Magenta.

Thank You Card Extravaganza


Last week I created a bunch of Thank You cards for a co-worker who recently lost her mother-in-law.  I thought it might be nice to have some pretty cards to send to those special people who helped them during their difficult time. I had a friend come over and make a few as well!  It is nice to have some stamping friends who can come lend a hand!

I decided to keep things simple and went with mostly mono-chromatic variations using the same stamps.  It is a bit of a hodge podge of stamps from Magenta, Impression Obsession, Just for Fun, Hampton Arts, Inkadinkado, and Stampin' Up...I think that is all!  Even though I REALLY wanted to add some buttons, brads, ribbons, etc., I refrained.  I didn't want them to have to pay a fortune in postage and to have to use special envelopes to mail them! 

Believe it or not, there was nary a Copic Marker used on these projects!  I know...but I knew it would take too long to do all of the coloring, so I used good old fashioned ink pads for color (except for one where I colored the stamp with Memento markers).

I hope you enjoy the bounty!  Below are close-ups of all of the cards and their variations.

Sympathy Cards

A dear friend of mine lost her husband recently and I made two cards. The first is a tree stamp that I wish I knew the company....if anyone knows...please share with me!!! I bought it as an unmounted stamp, but neglected to record the company. The tree is colored with copics (of course). The phrases for both cards were computer generated. The second flower stamp is by Magenta.
