It was my dad's 83rd birthday on Friday, and I found a card design on-line that worked with his interests and my stamp sets - and here's my card for him:
The C/S is Old Olive and Chocolate Chip from Stampin' Up, and both of the DPs and stamp set (Lovely as a Tree) are as well.
The second card is for a couple from church - she's fighting cancer, and he's in a rehab facility after having had a stroke. I wanted to remind them that they're in my thoughts and prayers. I CASE'd this design from a friend, and even tried one of her favourite embellishments - Viva Pearls. I'm quite pleased with the end product!
The cardstock, designer paper and ribbon are all River Rock from Stampin' Up, and the butterfly die is as well. I had previously inked the raised side of an embossing folder, and then embossed a piece of white cardstock - that ended up becoming the butterfly!
Thanks for checking in!
Love both your cards...there is something about the colour green, it's calming and yet vibrant at the same time! Love the woodlooking dp on the first card...I rarely use that stamp from that set....may just have to case you! Love all the elements of your 'thinking of you card'..the punches and dp....so simple and pretty! I'm sure Paul and Mae will love receiving such a pretty card from such a caring friend!
