For my friend’s birthday I wanted to make a nice but relatively simple card. She likes bikes so a bicycle card!

Rooster Card
This year for my sister’s birthday card I thought use a theme I hadn’t used in awhile, roosters! I also had an idea to incorporate metal into the card, I hadn’t utilized that for a long time, so now I’m on a patina-ed metal kick!
Terrarium Card
When I was thinking of making this birthday card I ran across this card idea from Impress Cards and Crafts with a small terrarium on it. With cactus and terrariums being trendy right now I thought I would go for it!
Two Quick Cards
It was a very busy holiday season for me, even almost busier after the holidays were over! I did have a couple of birthday cards to make that I had to make on the fly.
Activity Clock Card
So the people in my life that are into Harry Potter just keeps growing. My friend’s child is at that tender age where he is starting to read the books so I now can make more Harry Potter themed cards!
Tool Chest Card
For my Father’s birthday I decided to make a tool chest card. I had purchased a cool extra deep embossing folder of metal plates and I couldn’t wait to use it!
Pattern Card
When my sister’s birthday came around I decided I needed to change up my card making a little. I’ve been using a lot of metallic and grungy things in my cards and I wanted to mix things up! So I dug back into my picture stock and found this old sewing pattern image. I used to use these 1950’s vintage images a lot so it was fun to bring it back.
Cat Album
This cat album all started when my sister wanted Dumpling Cats for her birthday. Being a good sister I crocheted her a whole set of them. I gave myself a generous amount of time to make them and they were so cute I ended taking them all sorts of places to show friends. I then started taking pictures of the cats having their adventures and put them in a cute little album/card to give to my sister with the cats!
Paris Birthday Card
So I have been trying not to buy so many craft supplies because I already have so many, but sometimes I just can’t resist! I picked up an Evolution Advanced die-cut and embossing machine at Tuesday Morning one day (something that happens fairly often I have found out,) so of course I had to get a bunch of stuff to use with it – sigh. However, it has been so much fun! I mostly got it for embossing since I have the Silhouette cutting machine, so when my friend’s birthday came around I decided to do a french themed card so I could use my “carte postale” embossing folder.
Circus Card
This card was for my friend’s little girl, only 3 years old, and I really had no idea what to make for her. However, I’d been wanting to make an instant book as a card so I started there. I have all these great toy circus images that I got ages ago from The Vintage Workshop and I was able to use them all for this card!
