Embossed shell shaker card
I use the embossing folder to create the shell background. The embossing folder has a die in it to cut the Apture around the embossed shells at the same time as the embossing. I sponged the embossed areas with the distress inks Mustard seed, rusty hinge, peacock feathers. Once that ink was dry I went over the raise areas with black ink. Behind the Apture space I added some acetate and using the piece cut out for the background part of the shaker card.

Congratulations Mr & Mrs
I made the front using die cuts and stamps from The Rabbit Hole Designs that I had in my stash for several years.
I then added the die cut sentiment K B 1032 Happily Ever After inside so that you could see it when it was displayed when it is open.
I added a place to sign on the back of the card along with the sentiment and a envelope to hold the cash gift.
On the inside I created a pop up wedding cake using Karen Burniston’s 1028 Cake Pop up. I added a golf ribbon bow to the top of the card and added gold die cut bows to the cake using the KB 1183 Little Labels pop - up bow.
Thanks for looking.

For my card today I decided to follow along with Karen Burniston’s September Class Virtual Tutorial.
I chose some scrap designer paper that I had in my stash for this first attempt of this card. I just put the surprise sentiment inside as I think this could be a fun birthday card adding it to my stash of cards.

A Sailing good time
This is the card I made for a friend for his 70th birthday. I chose the sailing theme as he is into outrigging and this is the closet I have to that theme. The sailboat is a clear stamp that was included in a magazine.
In the inside I have used Karen Burniston dies,
1277 - boat pop up
1278 - sail boat add on
1279 - set sail boarder
A circle, oval and rectangle dies from my stash of dies from various companies.
The designer paper is from a 6x6 Kaisercraft paper pack.
