Triple Duty Card!

Triple duty for this card:

• Birthday Surprise Card for the founder of Close To My Heart, Jeanette Lynton. 

• H2H Challenge to use 3 (your interpretation of 3 pieces)

• H2H Color Challenge to use Fern (ink and/or cardstock)

Using only the colors Fern and White, this card has 3 strips of background & texture paper, and uses a spunky sentiment from the Birthday Funnies stamp set for Jeanette's birthday card (#cards4jeanette). 

So this card is wishing Jeanette her most wonderful year yet!!  Her company has definitely changed the lives of thousands of women around the world, and we all appreciate Jeanette's creativity and business sense!  Here's hoping for many more birthdays to come.  

The Fern textured paper is actually slightly embossed and is found in our Paper Fundamentals collection.  To continue the rounded pattern look of the Fern Paper Fundamentals, the Scallop edge punch was used on the top and bottom of the sentiment image, as well as the edges of the white decorative strip with a Fern Thick Twine bow.  The basic design for the card is in Make It From Your Heart Volume 2, #28. 

All papers and stamps are from Close To My Heart (CTMH).

A Birthday Funny

A simple card sketch on Freshly Made Sketches (FMS219) this week inspired me to create this card.  The sentiment is from the Birthday Funnies stamp set, and the papers are in the Penelope kit.  With the new paper packs that Close To My Heart introduced this year, each pack includes 2 each of 6 different double-sided designs.  One of the papers is designed to be cut into 4"x6" and 3"x4" cards, similar to the Picture My Life program.  One of these Penelope card designs was used as the foreground of the card, with the stamped sentiment.  A few embellishments, such as Glitter Tape and the Pear Fundamentals Assortment, complete the card.

White Pines ~ Stampers With An Attitude (Blog Hop)

The Holidays will be arriving soon, and our Stampers With An Attitude team is sharing projects created using the White Pines kit.     

If you have come here from Melinda's If You Bling It  blog, you are on the right path!  Blog Hopping is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one, or visit each blog from the list at the end of this post.    

Instead of creating something for the Holidays with the White Pines kit, I decided to use some of the beautiful papers to create a fun birthday card.  The sentiment is found in the Birthday Funnies stamp set, which is available as a Hostess Exclusive through the end of the year.  For some embellishment, a flower from the Sangria Assortment was used along with a bit of Glacier Thick Twine.  Inspiration for the card design is Pattern #22 in Make It From Your Heart Volume 1.     

Now "Hop" on over to CatScrapbooking for more artwork using the White Pines paper kit.
