Money Envelope

Hello!

I'm sharing this Birthday Money Envelope for my favorite earthling, Matteo.

You can pull the sleeve off with the loop of ribbon. I built a little “kickstand” on the back of the sleeve, so that it can be displayed as a frame.

I used Summer Studio’s “To the Moon and Back” Collection. 

I put Matteo in the space suit with acetate for his helmet. There’s a lot of stamping and heat embossing and cutting. These tiny outer space stamps didn’t come with the matching dies. I’ve heat embossed a few chip pieces from LadyBug and finished with splashes of gold.

Thanks for stopping by. See you soon!

The Grunge & Mechanics Collection from Fabrika Decoru came in handy for this project.

We Play, We Dream!

Hi, Everyone!

I have a Birthday Card for a Boy today.

I will join the Challenge at the ScrapMan Blog: We Play, We Dream!

 

Required Elements: children's toys, balloons, ribbon or lace, something round: a button or chip, or the circle itself!

I made THREE Balloon Shakers and tied them down to the Bicycle with a small piece of yellow ribbon.

I heat embossed pieces of this Circle die in yellow.

And, some Circle Enamel Dots for a bit of shine.

I used THIS ScrapMan die to make a "fence" behind the bicycle.

 

I will also add my card to the Challenge at ScrapClub EK requiring a bicycle, scooter, or other form of SummerTransport.

 

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hugs,

Nora

Spring Awakening Stage 3

Hello!

Finally using the Spring Flowers that I made HERE and HERE.

And that’s the Challenge at the LadyBug Blog. 

Chip and die cutting are required, as well as 5 or more flowers/colors.

I used these dies:

And, yes, even the flower of a Christmas Poinsettia was used to make the "leaves".

But that’s just part of my versatile collection from LadyBug. The lovely bird chip is from Art Lines, and the papers are from MoNa Design.

AND Stage 3 of the Spring Awakening Challenge at the CharmedBlog is the Radiant Sun. 

It requires a color palette and a sketch again.

I started out with the green and blue (two background panels), and then introduced the brown (doily die cut and horizontal ribbon) and yellow (butterfly and berries).

 The days are becoming much brighter, and my daughter's birhtday is also in March. This card is for her. She’s the light of my life!

I went with the center column of the Three out of Nine Challenge at the Yar-Sk Blog.
