Hello Friends & Happy Sunday!
Today I have a card to share which I created for our lovely neighbor young lady Olivia's 18th birthday. I can't believe she & her sister are Junior & Senior in HS this year ... Olivia was only a toddler & Emily wasn't born yet when we move here. Such lovely girls! So, each year I try to make a SPECIAL card personalized for them. The party's tonight (yikes, I hope she doesn't see this lol).
Inside view
I've used the challenge offered over on the Seize the Birthday Challenge Blog
for the basis of my card. Their theme is:
DIE CUTS ONLY
(sentiment can be stamped)
The dies I have used are:
Honey Bee - Pocket Full of Love Cuts
Elizabeth Craft - Happy Birthday (inside)
Dee's Distinctively Dies - Number Set (for the 'th')
Memory Box - Uppercase Alphabet Soup #99154 (for the Olivia)
Joy! Craft - Dotted Numbers #6002/1173 (for the 18)
I've also used the coordinating Honey Bee Pocket Full of Love Stamps
OH! AND SILLY ME!
I didn't purchase the coordinating 'pocket dies' so had to create my own!
I used these two Tutti Designs Die Sets ...
The stitching on my 'bluejean' paper didn't show up very well so I took a white gelly roll pen and drew down through the stitched lines. It's a little 'wonky' but that's actually how my old sewing machine does it from time to time too so guess it's okay! LOL
Challenges to share in:
