Birthday Wishes Just For You

Good morning everyone! Today is my day to post over at My Thoughts Exactly. I have a fun little birthday card to share with you and it features FOUR stamp sets! Crazy huh?!? Well tomorrow is my fiance's grandmother's 89 birthday! Now let me tell you she does not look nor act like she is turning 89 tomorrow. So here is the card I made for grandma:

I found a cool tutorial on how to make a pocket card and just knew I had to try it. I used my Sew-Easy to stitch up the sides (ignore the imperfect hole making on the right hand side - I may have had the head upside down the first time >.<). I just used the Sew-Easy floss for the stitching. I also used the Mojo Monday #243 for the the front design. Of course there is a little Trendy Twine in there too. The 'Just for you' sentiment comes from some very selective inking of the stamps in the More Mini Thoughts set. The 'Pull me out' sentiment is from the Interactive Card Phrases and Grillin 'N' Chillin sets. And here is the inside card when it's pulled out:

I used the Big Thoughts set for the 'Wishing you a happy birthday' sentiment.

I hope you enjoyed my card today. Happy crafting!

Hello Sunshine

Hello everyone! It's been a bit quiet around here this last week or so...I've had a nasty cold and have had zero energy to do anything. I'm finally starting to feel better so I thought I'd pop in quick to show you a card I made for two challenges. Yes two, I know that's a little crazy :)

The first challenge is the Runway Inspired Challenge #9 - Preen Fall 2012

It has been so long since I've been able to complete a RIC on time! I just love the colors and the flowery pattern in this dress.

I also so used the Mojo Monday #236 Sketch for the layout.

Here is my card.

Stamps are from My Thoughts Exactly More Mini Thoughts set, twine is from the Twinery, and the flower card is from October Afternoon.

Happy crafting,
Jessica
