"Stickles"

Here is a sample picture from the internet of an old stand-by product I used yesterday.  While making crowns for 90 wise men, we used Stickles to apply jewels.  Worked beautifully.  Only wish Stickles dried more quickly--so make sure you give it time to sit overnight.

Christmas cards for church shut-ins

Here is a sample of the Christmas cards we made for my church shut-ins.

I bought the stamp on eBay as it was retired a few years ago by Stampin' Up. 

Special Anniversary Card

This card is embossed with gold but I made a second card with yellow ink to represent the yellow daisies that were part of the floral bouquets in their wedding 50 years ago. (The inside has the remainder of the greeting.)

June birthday's cont'd

 Two examples of "slider" cards.  They're not as easy as the instructions make them seem.  But the recipients liked them!

June birthdays Part I

This is the first card for the June birthdays.  I used heavy-weight card stock & applied primary colors with my markers to make a water color look.  The stripe is made with "washi" tape.

January birthday

This birthday card was inspired by the designer paper (12 x 12 sheet of squares).  The two squares on this card open up to show the birthday greeting.

The flower was made with a variety of Sizzix die cuts.

Note cards

These were simple to do thanks to Stampin' Up . . . another fun card kit. Everything was included--even the adhesive strips to close the envelope.
