Marissa's 18th Birthday Card

So I was commissioned to make an 18th birthday card for my SIL's niece who just turned 18 over the weekend and this is what I came up with.  I know of this young lady and wanted to make a special card befitting her sweet personality.  This is a roughly 4.25 x 9 inches card.  The base of the card was cut with the Cricut using the Art Philosophy cart.  The image is another digi stamp from Scapper's Delights which I colored with Prismacolor colored pencils, then cut with a Nestability scalloped oval die.  The doily mat under this image was an image from the Silhouette Studio Store, and was cut with the Cameo. The envelope is from the Wild Card cart. 

Here's a few closeups of the card.  Doesn't this image look so sweet?! 

I added some glittered glue to her dress.  I embellished with some Prima flowers, half pearls and swirly pearl stickers by Recollections, a home-dyed crinkled ribbon and a home-made stick pin.

I so adore this glass bead!  If you click on the photo you can see

that there's images of pink roses inside. 

The inside of the card was left blank so that my SIL can write her own birthday wishes for this young lady.  I did use a swirly flower stamp in one corner using an Inkadinkado stamp.  All patterned cardstocks used were by K & Company. 

Hope the birthday celebrant liked the card.  Thanks once again for stopping by.

Mojo Monday #234 - Happy Birthday Raj!

Tomorrow is my wonderful hubby's birthday.  Just a quick post on the birthday card I created for my DS and my DD to sign for their dad.  This is a roughly 5 x 5 card, following a sketch from Mojo Monday blog sketch #234, as shown below.
      


The base of the card is a square card from the Art Philosophy cart,  The silhouette cut of the family and the doily mat it's on, are images from the Silhouette Store, cut with the Cameo. The sentiment tickets were also cut with the Cameo using the print and cut feature, both tickets from the Silhouette Store.  I did some stitching to the three strips of cardstocks.  The middle brown cardstock was embossed with the Script CB folder. 

Below are some closeups:

 I added a cream-colored button and twine to the ticket sentiments.

I kind of screwed up on a couple of corners while stitching with the sewing machine, so to hide those mishaps, I punched a couple of "photo corners," punched with an MS puncher. 

The inside of the card, using the same kind of "photo corners" as the ones in the front. 

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!
