Shiny quick and easy cards

 

Celebrate every day with a little glitter! I love that glitter is so inexpensive for the amount of sparkle it adds to any project.

 

Today, I'm sharing a couple of the cards made at my 20-card class last Saturday. This one features the new big polka dot embossing folder, as well as the photopolymer stamp set, Endless Birthday Wishes (only $13.95!). This card also uses one of my favorite punches - the angled tag topper. And more shine is added with the silver ribbon.

 

This sentiment is from the Million and One stamp set (there are only two stamps in the set). I CASE'd this from fellow SU! demo Dawn Olchefske. I love how clean and simple and striking it is. The papers used are Whisper White, Silver Foil and Silver Glimmer. Plus lots of rhinestones.

 

You'll see in the upcoming days that many of my cards had more of an inspirational message than anything. I love that! Who wouldn't love a card for a quick pick-me-up?

 

Life is good. My boy finishes driver's ed tomorrow, though he still has a few more drive tests, and then I'm heading out for a road trip with my bestie, Kim, on Wednesday. I don't have any other classes scheduled for the rest of July, though my clubs will be starting up again in August. If you're interested, look at my Clubs & Classes tab to see if one of the dates and times works for you.

Endless Birthday Wishes

 

I prepped this cute and easy birthday card for a make and take at my most recent demonstrator gathering.

 



The sentiment and cake images are from the photopolymer stamp set Endless Birthday Wishes (only $13.95!). I stamped them using the Jet Black StazOn pad. Then I used a couple strips of the Moonlight paper stack (item 133701, $6.95) to add patterns and color to the card front. I colored the cake using an aqua painter and ink pads, then cut it out and popped it up with dimensionals. I CASE'd a card by fellow SU! demo Diana Gibbs. She used washi tape instead of paper strips.

I hope you have a great day! I've been filling out thank-you and birthday cards, and getting ready for a garage sale (which means clearing things out of my kids' rooms!).
