Anniversary Card

Our 12th Anniversary was just a few days ago.

I used a card front I'd created a few months ago... and added the Apothecary Art piece after coloring it with watercolor pens and ink in the same colors of the base card; Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, and Melon Mambo.


After coloring it, I die cut the piece and inked the edges so they'd stand out against the white background.  The right panel was just enough for some statistics.... years, days, vacations, etc.

Support Staff Thank-You Cards

Each year we have an event at work where we thank all of our support staff - Teacher Assistants, Student Helpers,  etc.  Without them, our job would be even harder!

This is part of my contribution to the group we were assigned to.  Turns out this year, I work with all 5 ladies, two of which I work quite closely.

Each of these cards uses the "new" Thinlits Flip card die;  labels, and circle.  I did make one big change.  I thought the cards were way too small until I found THIS video which shows how to extend the cards to give you room to write on the inside flap!  {Sorry about the ads at the beginning of the video - they are so annoying!}


Card 1
 Here's a view of the unfolded flap with coordinating paper decorations... and lots of room for my team to write messages.  YAY!

The entire set of 5 cards came from one paper stack:  Gingham Garden with the main colors of:  Night of Navy, Melon Mambo, Island Indigo, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz, and Whisper White.

I also got out the chalks, and used complimentary colors to chalk the flower embossing on the front and inside views.

Please enjoy!
Have a wonderful day.
