Birthday Card: Baby's First Birthday

I got a chance to mix up a few things for this card.

Background: Cocoa Background is embossed using the Cuttlebug polka dot impression folder.

Balloons: Cut using the Silhouette SD and tied with hemp cord.

#1: Fabric stiffened using Stiffen Stuff and cut using the Silhouettte SD.

#1 outline: Using Silhouette Studios Offset functionality, the outline around the #1 is cut from vellum paper.

Ribbon & Doily: How did we tie up the loss ends? With a cutout of a doily and some ribbon.

I gave this Cuttlebug challenge a try - too bad I was one day too late.

Texture Embossed Card: To Cuttlebug or not to Cuttlebug?

I decided that since I already have the Silhouette SD, the texture boutique would suffice.

In the short time that we've been together, my relationship with the Sizzix Texture Boutique has become one of love.

It came just in time for me to wish a friend a happy 2 year wedding anniversary and another friend a happy birthday. Its amazing what a little texture can do to a solid color card stock. These cards were surprisingly very easy to make. WYSIWYG.
