Today is my daughter’s birthday!  I knew I needed to make a special card for Anne and here it is.  It’s an “eclipse” style card – a wreath of greenery and some bright, fun flowers!

Stamp Set – Tropical Chic, Beautiful Bouquet, Rooted in Nature
Cardstock – Coastal Cabana, Shimmery White

I decorated the inside like this….

but chose not to include an inside verse so I can write my own birthday message!

Wish I could celebrate with my daughter in person, but she is in California and I’m in Wisconsin.  Believe it or not, it’s been warmer here than where she is!

Thanks for stopping by.  Happy Stamping!

From the Stampin’ Up! Catalog:
Your favorite Framelits, Thinlits, and Edgelits dies can do more when paired with the Embossing Mats. Use with dies that have decorative ejection holes for additional embossing. Or use with cutting dies to emboss instead of cut. Includes Impressions Pad, thin silicone rubber mat, and thick silicone rubber mat.

I used the Dragonfly Die and the Big Shot Embossing Mat to emboss the dragonflies instead of cutting them out.  Get more use and a different look from your favorite dies!

Thanks for stopping by.  Happy Stamping!

Paper Pumpkin kits are delivered to my door each month – a craft kit with all of the designing and preparation completed for me.  I only need to open it up and start stamping!  What’s not to love about that?  Here is a card I created with the May Paper Pumpkin kit, Manly Moments.
