Star Trek Birthday Card!

Hi Everyone! 


I hope that you had a super week!  Today I am sharing a birthday card that I made for my brother.  He loves all things science fiction, Star Trek, Star Wars - you name it.  This card is pretty simple to make.  I found this terrific picture of the Starship Enterprise on Google images. I imported it into my Silhouette software and added the text.  Next, I printed it twice and fussy cut out one starship.  I embellished it with Glossy Accents on the light and the top.  Then I adhered it with pop dots for dimension.  I mounted the picture on a dark gray card.


I am really pleased with out it came out.  It really looks like the starship is floating through space toward you.  It would look great in a frame on his desk.  I sure hope he enjoys it!


I also got a new light tent today.  I am really excited about this and look forward to improving my blog pictures.  I think this one turned out pretty good in the new tent! LOL!!


If you like what you see, please leave me a little comment - it always makes my day.  Thanks for stopping by and have a terrific weekend!


I am also entering this in the "My Guy" challenge at cardztv.

Happy Mother's Day!

Hi Everyone!
      I am a little late with this post.  I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's day with your families!
     This is the card that I made my mother for Mother's day.  I am really happy with the way it turned out.  My mother loves flowers and gardening so I really wanted to make something that reflected her personality.
      This is my first attempt at making paper flowers.  I've put off making them for so long because I thought that it would be difficult.  It could not have been easier.  The trick is winding the paper strips around something tightly (I used my craft tweezers) and then using strong glue to keep them from unraveling (glossy accents).  I glued them all together and let them dry overnight before I assembled the card.   One fell on the ground and my dog tried to eat it!  It was so funny - thankfully the flower was unharmed and found its way onto the card.  This was so much fun, I see many more flower projects in the future!
      It's been a little while since I posted.  I have some new projects to post soon.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
