Water Ski Birthday Love

My best friend’s dad and her big sister taught me (patiently) how to water ski ages ago. So I couldn’t help but make her a birthday card with a water ski theme. Features: Forever Heart Die Layer II by Lil’ Inker Designs @lilinker, Heart and Dots Stencil by Kindred Stamps

This dramatic yet simple card was inspired by Nicole Watts, Pixel Maven Retreat, with her recent sketch challenge and monthly stamp focus.

Happy Birthday Wishes

Football Birthday Wishes

My God-daughter is turning 17...crazy! She is an amazing gal...and the first female on her high school football team! Way to go. I used my Cricut to cut football shapes and colored them with Spectrum Noir markers. I also cut the grass (punny...lol), # 17, stem and circles with the Cricut. I am pleased how football meets floral. A great way to celebrate her! 🏈🎂🌟💙#cricutcards, @Cricut

My Godson is turning 17 - how did that happen already?! Here are featured items in this fun masculine birthday card: cutouts from Cricut Access, WOOD PLANKS Texture Fades Embossing Folder by Tim Holtz Sizzix 662370 with Distress Oxide Vintage Photo, Gina K Master Layout Rectangular Dies, Copic coloring #cricut, #cricutmade, @sizzixlifestyle, @ginakdesigns, @timholtz, #masculinebirthdaycards Embossing Folder, Layout, Texture, Vintage Photos, Vintage

This mini slimline card has a green and gold plaid card front, with three glitter gold circles along the bottom right side. The circles are a background to an Irish icon: a full beer mug, a four-leaf clover and a Leprechaun’s black top hat with a green ribbon. The inside of the card has a strip of the same green and gold plaid paper with Happy St. Patrick’s Day sentiments next to it. Happy St Patricks Day, St Patricks Day, St Patrick, Happy Campers, Kraft
