Birthday card for 99 year old
a card I did for a 99 year old...
I used the Cuttlebug Script texture embossing folder on the background and inked the white cardstock with Staz-on ink in Azure blue. The yellow paper has Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder for some added texture. The candles are the Cuttlebug Birthday Wishes embossing folder. I used three different colors of Stickles for the candles- Christmas Red, Orange Peel and Yellow. The metal sentiment is from Joanns.

Submarine vinyl, It's a Boy card and a Quilt!
Just a whole crafty kind of week this week with a few projects to show...
First up are the US Navy Submarine Dolphins that I made for my Dad who is a retired Navy captain...
found the graphic online and just imported it to Make the Cut and cleaned it up a bit. I think if I cut it again I will work on making it a little more solid- all those scales were a PAIN!
Love this card for its simplicity. I used a ready made card from Joann's and embossed it with my Swiss Dots CB folder. The wording is from a We R Memory Keepers "Foil Glitter Flock" baby boy set- I used the brown flock for the rub on. There are blue adhesive gems on the circle of words as well.
Last, but not least, is a quilt I made for my best friend with fabrics she sent me from Australia.
It is a small quilt but it is the first one I actually quilted myself on my regular Bernina sewing machine. It took me forever to do (sorry S!!!) but I am so glad it is done now! :)

Soldier card and Monogram card with gift card holder...
Soldier card- simple cuts of 2 x 3 1/2" and increasing by 1/4 " for each blue and red layers, then by a 1/2" for the yellow. A2 size- used a ready made white cardstock card for the base.
Cursive 101 cartridge for the letters and Ashlyn's Alphabet frame (Icon: J), yellow Stickles on the frame and Diamond Glaze on the top letter layers. First time I had used the Diamond Glaze- I think I like the shine and smoothness it gives...just a pain to get the air bubbles out! Not so sure about the frame and it's asymmetry- I like my symmetry, dang it! But I decided to let the bit of whimsy stay there...
This was a fairly large card for me- nearly 5 x 7.
Just a little gift card holder to go in the above card.
