Valentines Cards for the Little People

These cards are small, so I used the We R Envelope Punch Board to make envelopes.

Impression Obsession - Pail
Hero Arts - Celebrate Everyday, Heart to Heart
Martha Stewart - Heart Punch
My Favorite Things - Cloud stencil

William's 5th Birthday Card

I think if you have a birthday on Christmas Eve, you deserve a FABULOUS card. My grandnephew will be 5 this Christmas Eve, and he loves "diggers."

I used stamps and dies from several different companies, but none of this would have been possible without Lawn Fawn's Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up die set.



The tractors and trucks are Spellbinder's Tractors die set. I used them to cut, dry emboss, and wet emboss all three.


I used the Puffy Clouds die set from Memory Box. Three of the clouds are attached with acetate strips and the rest are glued to the back of the card. The "flying clouds" are fun.
 

 I used an envelope punch board to make the card presentation special.


The card easily folds flat and fits perfectly inside the envelope.

Lawn Fawn - Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up
Spellbinders - Tractors
Memory Box - Puffy Clouds, Classic Upper Alphabet Set
Hero Arts - It's Your Day sentiment stamps, clear embossing powder, Acetate Sheets
The Cat's Pajamas - Grass die
Mama Elephant - Landscape Trio dies
Tsukineko - VersaMark ink, VersaFine Onyx Black inks
Stampin' Up - card stock
Ranger - silver embossing powder
We R Memory Keepers - Envelope Punch Board

Clean and Simple Holiday Day Five

It's time to emboss! I used one of Gina K's examples for my inspiration.


I embossed the edges of my "frame" with gold embossing powder to match the gold inside the snowflake.

Neenah - white card stock
Stampin' Up - red cardstock
