Anniversary and Birthday cards



Anniversary card for My Father-in-law and his wife. I never knew their ann. date until this last weekend. It is this weekend!! I have made this card before with a complete overlay of velum or handmade paper. I put a little twist to this one using printed platic over the hearts only , framing and adding the bow.


For my Dad...his birthday is in June. I use this basic design for birth announcements and sometimes "faux" scratch'n sniff cards like this one.


The inside with message that lets you know it isn't a real scratch'n sniff



Inside where I add my own sentiment or note and of course the item to "sniff"

Father's Day

Well, we all know that Mother's Day is THIS WEEKEND!!! But do you remember that Father's day is coming up fast? June 18. I try to have the next months cards ready before the end of the current month.



I made these for my DAD, father-in-law and son. An easy way to make 3 styles of the same idea. The letters are raised with foam squares. The gray and maroon one has ribbon and stitching with embroidery floss. The other 2 have paper "trim". They all use metallic stars. One has thread and beads attaching the stars, one uses foam squares and the last ones are glued.
