Birthday Card Share!

Happy May, y'all!  Today is my AMAZING sister's birthday and it's her last year in the Dirty Thirties, so I wanted to make her a special card.  As you may have guessed, this was inspired by Pins I've been obsessing over on Pinterest. 

May I present the Exploding Tealight Birthday Cake Box! 

 

 

So, what do you think??  Is this something I should start making to sell?  It was really fun to make and I can see these getting used for a bunch of different occassions.  Let me know what you think in the comments.

On a related note, I've finally given in and opened a shop on Etsy.  I haven't finished uploading all my products yet, but that will happen over the next few days.

A Birthday Card for Mom

This is the card I made for my Mom for her birthday.

Remember the post I made about my box of scraps?  Well I ended up punching a Starbucks cold cup full of Martha Stewart butterflies out of them.  I had blisters on my hands.  No joke lol  These butterflies came from that session.

I finally got to use my gorgeous new script background stamp & I used some gorgeous floral ribbon that I found at Carousel Rubber Stamps.  The green paper, green ink, and the ink around the edges & on the ribbon are all from Stampin' Up.  I figured now was as good a time as any to start using that stuff.  Gotta say though, not a fan of the quality of their ink.  Glitter accents are Stickles, of course!

I like how it turned out, now to see how Mom likes it :)
