Butterfly Birthday card
This card was made back in late November, but I'm just getting around to posting it. Vellum Butterfly is a Spellbinders die which I covered with Stickles glitter, and two black rhinestone gems for dimension. I embossed the background paper (SU) and cream layer with the Stylized Flowers folder. On the cream layer, I rubbed Interference Green Pearl Ex over the embossing to highlight it; however, once it was done, the colour is a little "off" from the other olive tones. Sometimes a good idea doesn't work out....sigh!

New Sizzix Bird die
These cards were made with a new bird die from a Sizzix Sizzlets set of three called "Seasons Greetings" #656286. The set also includes the verse seasons's greetings, and a leafy sprig with flowers (can be made to look like christmas or spring flowers). I think I will find this set very versatile!
The first card uses white Bazzill and SU silver paper layers, and a glittery background paper. The bird is cut on silver paper and covered with white Doodlebug sugar coating glitter. For the bird's wing, I first embossed the white paper with the Cuttlebug Floral Fantasy embossing folder. Then,I positioned the die over part of the embossing to look like layered feathers. The scalloped border is a punch from EK Success. The letters for the word PEACE are cut with Cuttlebug alpha dies which I also covered in the sugar coating glitter. The vellum snowflake under the ribbon is a Spellbinders die called "Snowflake Wonder".
For the second card, I used red paper for the bird and covered it in Stickles Red glitter. The background paper is embossed using the Cuttlebug Holly folder. The tag on the bottom is Spellbinders Shapeabilities "Fancy Tags" die on which I embossed the word Peace in Gold Tinsel EP.

Gold embossed Angel
I made four of these cards last night. That brings my christmas card count to 18! I have five more to go to match my mailing list from last year, so I should have lots of time.
The clear angel stamp is from a set by Inkadinkadoo called "Christmas Silhouettes", which I embossed with Gold Tinsel EP over a music stamp in the background. I also did several random snowflakes.
The verse is a UM from Ebay I've had for several years and it is stamped on a label (Spellbinders Curvy Rectangles). I used the edge of my Brilliance Gold pad on the label and white layer (SU White Shimmer). Gold peel-off stickers in the corners complete the card.

Butterfly Kind Thoughts
My SIL Jeff's mom is going in for surgery next week, so I made this card to send to her.
The butterfly clear stamp is from Stampendous which I embossed with sparkly EP on vellum and coloured from behind with markers.Too bad the pic doesn't show the sparkle very well. The verse is from a set called Cameo Ovations by Fiskars. On the PP, I stamped a flourish diagonally across the paper. Spellbinders regular and scalloped ovals; rhinestones for bling.
I also used my new Martha Stewart embossed scallop border punch which I got today at Michael's with my 40% off coupon.

Pink and Black Theme
I had two birthday cards to make and decided on a pink and black theme for both.
The first card for Heather J. uses a stamp set from T.A.C, The Angel Company. I used silver Stickles on the girl's eyeglass chain, bracelet, and shoe buckles for 'bling'; also Crystal Glaze on her glasses, and shoes to make them look like patent leather. The black flower layer is an acetate piece. The pink background is embossed with a folder from Quickutz "Diamonds & Dots".
The other card is for a stamping friend in Germany who loves cats. The cat stamp is by Anita's, and verse by Paper Company Studio.

Non Traditional Christmas Colours
The layout for this card comes from my friend Marilyn, although mine is tall where her card is short and wide, and the colours are different. Hope you don't mind, Marilyn! (smile)
