Purrfect Birthday!

Good Morning Everyone!

Today I'd like to share another card I made for the Birthday Card Club.  This card really took me out of my comfort zone, but I think it came out great!  Let me know what you think.

The intended recipient of this card said she loved cats so this is what I came up with.  As usual I started with a 5" x 7" white Georgia Pacific card stock base.  I added a black layer and then a brick reddish sparkly layer.  The black paper and that fabulous sparkly patterned paper are by Recollections.  The patterned paper comes from the Union Station stack.  That adorably kitty was cut using my Cricut and the Paisley cartridge.  I placed the kitty on a oval I cut with the largest Spellbinders Floral ovals die.  To dress the kitty up a little I added some gold flat back pearls, also by Recollections.  And because a princess can never have too much bling I added some gold braided ribbon from Offray at the corners.  I hope she likes it, I know I had fun making it.

Hope to see you again soon.
Hugs,
Paula

Thank you

Good Morning Everyone!

Today I'd like to share a card I made for my brother, sister-in-law, niece and nephew to thank them for a very thoughtful birthday gift they gave me.

This is a 5" x 7" card the base of which is Georgia Pacific White card stock.  My brown layer is Recollections card stock and the patterned paper is from the My Minds Eye - Indie Chic Saffron collection.  I cut the shape I used for my sentiment from two coordinating Lifestyle Crafts dies that I got for free with my Genius magnetic platform.  (I love using the magnetic platform, it makes cutting so much easier.)  The stamp and ink are by Close to My Heart.  The beautiful brown satin ribbon is by Offray. 

I was very fortunate to receive several wonderful gifts this year for my birthday.  So I have a couple more thank you cards to make and I'll be sharing them here. 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll come back again to see what else I'm up to.

Hugs,
Paula
