I was inspired by the colors in a Pottery Barn catalog for the birthday card. I turned Kazan's sketch 90 degrees (from portrait style to landscape style). When I saw the sketch, it looked like a door to me. I put a slit into a sheet of cardstock and slipped the "card" inside (see the second scanned image where the "card" is opened
Supplies include: cardstock & printed background paper (Club Scrap), tab punch (Stampin' Up), flowers (American Craft), bling (Precious Finds), and glimmer mist (Tattered Angels, though I'm not sure how well the glimmer shows up in the scanned images). I also used Cricut Teardrop font ("Happy"), Sizzix Junk Drawer font ("birthday"), Spellbinders (shapes).
For Heidi's bonus sketch, I used K&Company Christmas paper, Sizzix ornament diecut, Sizzix Curlie Girlie font, Mizuhiki paper cord, ribbon & brads (unknown). I wanted to use the word "jubilant" but it's just too long for a card because I was feeling very JUBILANT yesterday when the contractor finally came to cut the granite for my cooktop. In the past 6 months, I've learned that even minor remodelling is not for the faint of heart!
I hope everyone has a terrific holiday! Thanks for taking a look at my cards.
