Birthday Wishes for a Challenge!

I needed a couple birthday cards today, so I decided to use the Sketch Challenge from Craft Project Central to help me create! I knew I wanted to use the Birthday Basics DSP. So with that, and the sketch - it came together so much easier!

 

And here's the Card Sketch - I LOVE this one! I know I could use this over and over again for different cards. You can join the challenge too - just hop on over to Craft Project Central. If you enter the Challenge, you have a chance to win a free subscription too!

Pull-Out Pocket Valentine!

I made this card for my Technique Class last month. I was inspired by a card made by Becky Roberts - so I created my own version. And then the colors and the accents on it got to be a bit much, so I found a simple, but cute card made by Angie Juda that helped me simplify everything to a monochromatic scheme. So that's a lot of how I come up with fun cards and projects for my classes! I find cool stuff made by other people - change it up, rearrange it, and a little bit of 'make it my own' and it's a new project for class! (And there is that once in a blue moon when I actually create something on my own too!)

So here's the pull-out part. And how cool would it be to attach a gift card to it, or you could just write a special note!

Wouldn't it make a cute Valentine for that someone special?!

A Birthday Star!

I was looking to make a simple card for one of the many August birthdays in our family, and I saw a cute one made by Niki Toll on Stampin' Connection. So I decided to change up the colors and make one too! Her colors were actually kind of cuter, but I didn't have the same papers.

Here's a closer-up of the star. I like the little banner piece coming out of the side of the star. And I like all the texture to the pieces - Where would my cards be without Embossing Folders?!


Off to make some more birthday cards...
