And, this is what we woke up to this morning. It started out with rain then sleet and then snow and thunder!
We worked in the yard last week as it was so nice. We had black dirt brought in where the old well pump house was removed, leveled the ground, planted grass and laid down some fertilizer. I even brought out our two chairs. So disappointing!!! And, we are expecting 2-5" more of snow this coming Friday. Crazy Michigan weather anyhow!!!
My share for today is a Birthday Card for my Great Nephew to go along with the Party Horns that I made and shared on my blog yesterday. Let's take a look at Joey's Birthday Card:
My Card Base is Bermuda Bay Cardstock cut at 4-1/4" x 11" and scored and folded at 5-1/2" for a top folding Card.
My Card Front Panel is the Confetti pattern from Stampin' Up's Picture Perfect Designers Series Paper cut to measure 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" and adhered it to my Card Base with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.
I fussy cut out one of the Party Hats from the Party Hat pattern in SU's Picture Perfect DSP and adhered it to my Card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Using SU's Party Hat Birthday Stamp Set, I stamped my Sentiment onto Shimmery White Cardstock with Bermuda Bay Ink and punched it out with SU's Duet Banner Punch. I sponged Bermuda Bay Ink around the edges of the Banner and adhered it to the bottom of the Party Hat with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.
For the inside of my Card:
Using SU's Party Hat Builder Framelits Dies, I die cut out 2 of the larger Tassel die; one from Bermuda Bay Cardstock and one from Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock. I adhered the 2 together and to the top of the Party Hat with Mono Multi Purpose Glue as shown in the picture above. I then die cut out the smaller Tassel die from Shimmery White Cardstock and adhered it on top of the larger Tassel.
I also die cut out the Party Hat Die from Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock and 2 of the Hat Trim die; one from Bermuda Bay Cardstock and one from Shimmery White Cardstock. I adhered the Trims to the bottom of the Party Hat and the Hat to the inside of my Card with Mono Multi Purpose Glue as shown in the picture above.
Since I made Party Horns for Joey for his Birthday and posted them on my blog yesterday.......
......I chose the Party Horn pattern from SU's Picture Perfect DSP and fussy cut one of the Party Horns out.
Using SU's Party Hat Birthday, I stamped Happy Birthday on the handle of the Party Horn in Bermuda Bay Ink and adhered the Party Horn over the top of the Party Hat with Mono Multi Purpose Glue as shown in the picture above.
The last thing I did was to adhere some of SU's Gold Glitter Flakes around the edges of my Banner on my Party Hat.
SU's Picture Perfect DSP is really Picture Perfect. Doesn't it look like the confetti is actually sitting on top of the paper and the top of the Hat actually looks 3D (curved) and the paper trim and tassel looks like they are really sticking out. Truly amazing paper and kudoo's to the SU Designer!!!
Wishing you all a warm and sunny day!!!
Blessings!
