Birthday Folio

Thanks to Alicia for the Special Date Folio Folder instructions. I've been wanting to make one of these forever. Now, I shouldn't miss anyone's birthday.

50th Birthday Card for Book Club Buddy

This card turned out so fun! As usual, I'm going nutty over the polkas again. I fell in love with this paper with the fuzzy flock of polkas (la-di-dot by doodlebug design, inc.) until I made the card, opened it up and realized that they WRITE ON THE BACK OF THEIR PAPER. UGH! It was a rookie mistake not checking it first. It did present me with the opportunity of using the black on the inside to cover the writing. I wish my pic showed the sparkle of the rhinestone swirls (Say it in Crystals - Prima Marketing). I love how the paper accepted the stamp, where it hit the polkas - it went opaque - SUPER COOL!

I also love this quote by Jane Austen ~ One can never have to large a party ~ who knew she was such a party animal?

And the winner IS!

The snowflake sparkle! The paper is Creative Imaginations. I had to order more from the company and other than taking 3 days when I paid for 2 days - they were great to work with. The paper is hard to glue and takes a lot with plenty of pressure using my brayer. Great work out making 40 cards! My printer wouldn't print on it either so transperancy to the rescue. We did an RSVP card in the next shade of green Bazzill Swiss Dot paper. It was a simple postcard that slipped inside the ribbon on the inside of the card. But, of course, forgot to take a pic of it before it went out the door - big no no - ugh! Anyhow, I love how the card turned out. Perfect for a wintery wedding in Tahoe.

White Postcard Style

I wanted to use a monogram on this simple card. I'm crazy over the ribbon tulle. The second picture shows other ribbons I have that show other options.

Snowflake Sparkle

This is the prettiest sparkly snowflake paper. I tried to print on it because I wanted it to say "Tying the Knot" next to the knot. I'd probably put the text on transperancy if I did it again. There is a second picture with polka dot ribbon that I love and the third picture shows how the green paper is polka dotted - adorable!

Fleur de Lis Postcard

I'm crazy over this fleur de lis transparency......works great for a nice postcard.

Wallpaper Card

I call this wallpaper card because the background paper reminds me of wallpaper. The design is a plush raised velvet feeling stuff - super pretty too.
