Dies from Balloons from Papertrey Ink (Best Birthday), alphabets, sentiments and cradle unbranded

65years strong ...

Good morning,
Sharing a card I made for a work birthday. She’s turning 65 and they asked me to make a funny one so I used this hilarious image from Close to My Heart.

I did some masking and a bit of paper piecing on her skirt and shirt.

You're Mer-Mazing ..

Good morning,

I was asked to make a card for our department assistant to celebrate Administrative Professionals Day last Month.

She does a lot for our group and others in the area.

I decided to make a shaker mermaid card and I even had a great sentiment that said “you’re mer-mazing” but it was a polymer stamp and when I pulled it out of it’s package it was crazy hard so I had to throw it away … not happy about that at all, so I decided to use it in my blog title!

Anyway, here’s the card. I stamped the sentiment and fussy cut out.

Supplies

• Cardstock from The Paper Studio (base)
• Design paper from Craft Universe (Holographic) & Momenta (Marbled)
• Dies are unknown
• Ink from Stampin up!
• Sentiment from Joy Claire Stamps (Mermaid at Heart)
• Sequins and beads from my stash

Thanks for stopping by!
