A Halloween Birthday

The Black Hat Society

 Notice the feathers on the hat?



This card has a story.  My sister's mother-in-law is a Red Hat Lady and talks about it all the time.  I figured my sister would love an invitation to the "Black Hat Society" for her birthday.  On the inside it states the "induction" will be held @ Posie Chapel.  This is a haunted church from our youngin days.  I'm sure she'll get a laugh.

Happy Birthday Sister/Friend

I Love You

 

 

Green Beer Cheer

 

I used a Silhouette pattern to cut the beer and border.  The "beer" consists of a light blue "glass", the green beer colored with copic markers, the "foam" also light blue colored with Paint Sticks white and detailed with copics.  I cut 2 pieces of acrylic the shape of the mugs to give a glass look.  The small shamrock on the beer was part of the cut out.  I placed a background of green plaid (part of my Oriental Trading paper purchase) with a white doily on top.  I then glued the layered beers and added white rhinestones to the "foam", gold to the shamrocks and 3 green rhinestones to the area between the beer.  Here's a Cheer with St. Patty's Green Beer!

Welcome Visit Card

 

 

My Sister and her Husband came for a much overdue visit in July.2012.  I wanted to give them a special welcome and after creating this card left it in the guest room for them.

 

Sister's Birthday

My Sister's Birthday (Oct 30.2012)

Sister Birthday

I used free papers I received from the British magazine Cardmaking and Papercrafts.



Sister's Mother Card

Flower Soft and Sakura gel pen.

The gate is made using a double punched fence punch from Martha Stewart.  I attached it using  1/8" ribbon so it would open.  The flower "hills" are attached using foam stickers giving the appearance of depth.  I included a little lane leading to the "rose garden".  I used 3 layers of the rose to give a paper tole effect.



Sister's Christmas Card

I fell in love with this card!

I used a piece of clear acrylic in the window to simulate glass.

The window and tree were cut with
Silhouette.  I used white Stickles on the edges of the "window".  It made a great frost effect.

It was fun to deco the tree. 

She loved the card so achievement achieved.

I used Flower Soft on the tree.  It made a perfect spring flowering tree.  If you haven't tried this product yet it's a must try.

Birthday Card for my great Sister.

This was a fun one to make!  I used foam sticker letters from Walmart.  Great Price! The cupcakes were JoLee (I think) stickers also purchased from Walmart.



This is the last card I made for my Mother's Birthday.  It represents the 4 seasons and the seasons of life.  Birth, youth, adult and aged.  Little did I know this would be the last birthday I would spend with her.  She passed away on November 18, 2011.  I miss her deeply.  She was a great friend as well as mother and I was fortunate to be with her at the end of her earthly life.

Elements were cut on a Silhouette Machine.
