Money Birthday Card

I needed a quick birthday present and card, so I based this card off of several other money cards I have seen.  I folded the money making sure the 10 was showing on top, and used paper clips to secure it in place on top of the scrap of old Sale-a-bration paper.  I made a few more candles with other scraps and topped them off with pieces of baker's twine for the wicks.  (Note:  for the wick on the money candle, I tied the baker's twine to the paper clip and it stayed in place without adhesive)

Apothecary Arts Framelits

For my recent stamp camp, we used the Apothecary Accents framelits to create this card.  The colors are the new in-colors Midnight Muse and Gumball Green.  Stampers customized this card to fit their needs using the Teeny Tiny Wishes set; shown here is the "happy birthday" sentiment.  The ribbon is the new 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon, also in Gumball Green. 

World Treasures

 

Finally my order from the new Stampin' Up! catalog arrived!  These samples are the first creations I made using the set World Treasures.  All of the colors are the new in-colors for 2012-2014:  Raspberry Ripple, Primrose Petals, Midnight Muse, Summer Starfruit and Gumball Green.  I stamped the peacock in one color.  Then I stamped again in another color and cut out the body, adhering it on top of the first stamped image.  Then I colored the tail feathers using the Marvelous Markers.  The jewels add the perfect amount of shine to top off the cards.
