Happy Birthday to a Special Friend

It is already the first Wednesday of December and time for fun with the Scrapyland Challenge #31-Anything Goes using a brand of die that Scrapyland which is over 40 brands to choose from.

I just purchase last month some beautiful dies from Scrapyland.com and excited to show you these dies cut for this card and inspire you to buy if you don't have them already for making your gorgeous cards.  Also, Scrapyland.com sells over 40 named-brand dies that are absolutely gorgeous.

I have a special friend over the years and we get together weekly to make cards.  She cut out a few of the gorgeous dies from the Creative Expression-Sue Wilson-Expression Collection-Happy Birthday sentiment.  Later, she brought over a birthday card for her aunt that had her age on it next to Happy on this sentiment.   I thought it was so clever so I did this on her birthday card to personalize it.

Scrapyland.com sells dies such as the beautiful Creative Expression-Sue Wilson.   The stunning Creative Expression-Sue Wilson-Gemini Collection-Orion comes in a set of 3 dies.  Two dies will cut the top or bottom of the main die which makes this set very versatile to use on a card.



The other die cuts around the ribbon are the  Creative Expression-Sue Wilson-Finishing Touches-Delicate Fronds and the Cherry Lynn Design Victorian Romance Flourish as well as the beautiful butterfly from Cherry Lynn Design-Tiny Things with Wings.  

The gorgeous lavender and white ribbons and flower were from the on-line store of Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Really Reasonable Ribbon offers variety of ribbons in many colors that would look wonderful on any card.

I have so much fun sharing my cards with you as well as seeing the beautiful cards that the talented designers and people post on these challenges.  It inspires me and I hope my cards are inspiring you as well.

Now it's your turn!! Head on over to Scrapyland to see the amazing projects our design team have created for this challenge and also it is now your turn to share your amazing projects with everyone!

Christmas Carol

 Welcome back.  Hi, I am Nancy and hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

 I am back making more Christmas cards and had this gorgeous ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon called the Vintage Christmas Plaid ribbon.  I love making a variety of cards for Christmas and wanted the next five cards to have that ole country vintage look to it.

 I made this bow like all my bows using the Zutter Bow It All V2.0 and couldn't have done as well without this bow maker.  If you don't know how to use this bow maker, view the wonderful U-Tube  on Zutter Bow It All videos that Bonnie Garby has made for you to get you started on the right track.  She has created other U-Tube videos on different bows for your project and cards.  I added some beautiful spray berries and golden bells to this bow.  Again, this is the Really Reasonable Ribbon Vintage Christmas Plaid ribbon. 

I wrapped this corner with this beautiful ribbon and added some golden jingle bells and red spray berries along with the Creative Expression-Sue Wilson-Festive Holly Spray.  The tiny red berries on the holly branches are dots of Stickles red glitter glue.

The picture and green with holly background paper are from the Graphic 45 Christmas Carol collection and the gold and green die cut around this picture is the gorgeous new Creative Expression-Sue Wilson-Delicate Garden Frame.  Behind the frame is the Cherry Lynn Design-Boutique Rectangle Stacker Frame.  I had to cut some of the length of the Boutique Stacker frame to fit the Delicate Garden Frame.

Thank you for stopping by and I would appreciate a comment in the section below.   I plan to use the other vintage Christmas plaid ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon for my next cards and hope you get a opportunity to see these cards.  Now it is your turn and come join us at Really Reasonable Ribbon blog exciting challenge this past week for Silver and Gold with Ribbon or Trim.   Can't wait to see your new creation!
