Pun Fun Birthday

This card uses the bird from the Pun Fun stamp set. I made this for my son and his wife to give to my mother-in-law (Nana) for her birthday. Hope she likes it. To get the border (red and blue) for the sentiment I used the word window punch, cut in half and then positioned sentiment (hope that makes sense).

We will be visiting my in-laws this weekend in Massachusetts and my mother-in-laws birthday is on the 30th. We will celebrate on Sunday since both my husband and I have to be back in NY to go to work on Monday. My mother-in-law has Huntington's disease and is now in a nursing home as my father-in-law in unable to care for her. She also has diabetes and heart problems and according to my father-in-law her health has been deteriorating.

Tri-Shutter Card

I've had this card made for about 3 weeks now but I'm finally able to post it since I've given it to the recipient today. When I first saw some of these cards on Splitcoast I knew I had to make one. There is a great tutorial here. These cards look complicated but are fairly easy to make just go to the link I provided for the tutorial.

Tangerine Tango Butterfly

I have used this stamp set several times and I haven't tired of it yet. The stamps in this set are very versitile and can be used for numerous occasions. I've made birthday cards, thank you cards, thinking of you, sympathy, etc and I'm so glad this stamp set made it into the new catalog. I think this will be a stamp set that I will own for years and use often. This card is for a friend of mine who works for the same company as me but works in NYC. She moved there several years ago to take a different position in the company and we still keep in touch. She is truly is a "great" friend and I wish we could see each other more often.

Cheep Talk CASE

I saw this card and absolutely loved the layout and knew that I had to try and make one similar. I changed some of the colors used and the ribbon choice and I used a different stamp for the birthday sentiment but almost everything else is the same. This will be going to another one of my co-workers. She is also a stamper and I enjoy making something that I know will be appreciated for all the extra efforts put into creating it.
