To celebrate my parents’ golden wedding anniversary, I designed a technically incorrect (?) card that sports 49 tiny hearts. Ten of these little hearts were left un-embossed and raised with dimensionals create the 50th, golden, heart. I hope my dad (a retired school teacher) appreciates the thought that went into the card, LOL.
Looking forward to a nice get-together and fun anniversary party today!

My contribution to this month’s WMS Friends Blog Waltz (with a birthday party theme) is this elegant, yet very simple birthday card I made for my dear mother-in-law. She loves butterflies, so I chose this pretty background paper from the Ambrosia collection by BasicGrey.
I embossed the Vintage Circles, Small image with black powder and added the sentiment, embossed with vanilla powder, from the Bountiful Baskets Additions set. The circle fit perfectly inside the Spellbinders die-cut, which I embellished with tiny self-adhesive pearls and adhered to the card with dimensionals.

We are celebrating the 100th birthday of my great-aunt Louisa today! She has lived in a convent most of her life and worked as a hospice nurse until she retired. She doesn’t like to be in the limelight, but I hope she won’t be too uncomfortable today. At least she’ll be surrounded by lots of relatives, and I know she’ll enjoy having us all there!

StampTV’s Swipe On Swipe Off challenge sounded like it would make a pretty sunset background for a sail ship. Our nephew’s birthday is coming up and I think he’d enjoy this card, after sailing around the Outer Banks this summer.
I used six different Memento Dew Drop inkpads and just swiped them across the white card stock. Then I stamped the image and ran the card stock through my Big Shot with the largest Classic Diamonds die. The sails were colored with a clear glitter pen. If you click to enlarge, you may be able to see that the Smoky Slate background was lightly “impressed” with the Sea Scape template.

It’s a shame I can’t just drive to my sister’s house and drop this birthday card in her mailbox, because then it wouldn’t be arriving too late. Sorry, sis! Hope you have a wonderful, warm, and sunny day in Belgium today!
The Dutch sentiment could be translated as: A birthday is a day that floats between yesterday and tomorrow (but my translation skills are quite rusty). I used a Viva la Verve sketch (6/10/11) to get my mojo started. Love the pretty papers in BasicGrey’s Sweet Threads collection!
