Char turned sixteen this month as well as got her permit four days after her birthday. I cannot believe my baby is learning to drive. Yikes!!
Of course we had two family celebrations as all could not attend the same day so her birthday went on for a couple weeks. Isn't that how it should always be?
This is the second cake with her cousins. These kids were babies just yesterday!!
I wanted to post some Christmas cards that I did make last weekend. I send out home made Christmas cards only to people who made me some. Others get photo cards.
I used my Hero Arts "Layered Christmas Tree" stamps and Christmas paper to create these.
Since I had a ton to do, I used the same basic design. I stamped all the trees using Altenew inks that were in the sets. I then heat embossed over it with Tonic "Shimmering Pearl" embossing powder.
I used Washi tape on the bottom of each tree panel, as well as added some bows with shiny embroidery floss.
I stamped the sentiments on red strips in archival black ink and popped them up with foam adhesive.
I put the card together and then used Stickles in red, gold and green on the tree.
I rarely make cards in an assembly line fashion but this was a lot of fun. On this card, I even used a bold patterned paper. I am not a fan of larger designs but I think it works with this card.
Well, that is all. I thank you for taking the time to stop by.
