Wanna Race?

These birthday party invites are for racing fans young and old.... makes a cute birthday card too! Real Red, Basic Black and Whisper White are perfect for this card. The black and white checkerboard paper was purchased at a Hobby Store and Basic Black was cut and added to make it look like a racing flag. The Sizzix Sizzlits Die 3 pack, "Transportation" is available at the Sizzix Outlet online and it's 75% off!! The inside verse states: Come on over for a change of pace, It's Jeff's birthday and he wants to race! I added some extra checkered paper to the inside.
If you want more details on the card, please contact me and I'll be happy to get you started! See you at the Finish Line! Happy Stamping!

Golden Anniversary Card

We will be in South Carolina to celebrate my hubby's Aunt Nancy & Uncle Tom's 50th Wedding Anniversary! I made this card to give to them. I used Stampin' Up's Crushed Curry. This card is a bit bigger and I cut the 8&1/2 side at six inches and then folded it in half. It was layered with the Tea Party paper. The Manhattan Flower embossing folder was then used on Whisper White. Happy Anniversary was stamped with Crushed Curry ink and then punched out with the Large Oval and Scallop Oval Punches. I saved the ribbon from a box of chocolates that I received....it worked perfectly with this card! Happy Stampin'!

Stampin' Up Items Used:

Paper- Crushed Curry #115319, Tea Party #113992, Whisper White #100730
Ink- Crushed Curry#115659, Punches- Large Oval #107305, Scallop Oval #114889
