Easel Card - Modified

Hello again, stampers,

My card for today may or may not have a style name.  I couldn't find one, so I'm calling it a modified easel card.  I saw a similar one in a group on FaceBook; however the posting lady didn't know the name either and didn't have any directions.  So right there I had a new challenge!  I experimented with a couple of different sizes, and then finally decided this size is the one I like best.  Measurements and supplies are listed below the card photos.



Solid Light Yellow Card Stock
            *4” x 10 ¼ ”  -   Scored at 4 ½ ”, 9”
            *3 5/8” x 3 5/8”
            *Plus small scrap for stamping the Birthday Daisy image and punching small flower.  Cut out
              the daisy image.  Use 3D tape for mounting.

Solid Green Card Stock
            *Small scrap for stamping the image a second time.  Cut out only the center of the daisy.
            *Small scrap for die cutting the leaves

Decorative Paper
            3 ¾ ” x 9”
            3 ½ ” x 3 ½ ”

Rubber Stamp - Stampendous:  Birthday Blossom #F182
Die - Memory Box:  Sturdy Stem #98996   
Two Brads to match decorative paper.

This card is really quick and easy.  I hope you will give it a try.

Blessings,
Ann

Birthday Card for a Fisherman

Whew, what a busy morning card making!  I saw a card on Pinterest (my thanks to whomever created it) that inspired me to make it because it is just what I needed for my Pastor's birthday.  He is quite a fisherman so hopefully this card will be a hit with him as we celebrate his birthday on Sunday with cake and festivities.  The stamp set I used is from Stampin' Up called By the Tide.



The sentiment that I put on the left side of the inside card added just the right touch.  The stamp is from Our Daily Bread Designs called Fishing and the sentiment says,

"There is certainly 
something in Angling 
that tends to produce a 
Serenity 
of the mind.  

Washington Irving."

Blessings,
Annie

A Very Special Congratulations Card

What a lovely afternoon here in Wenatchee!  I hope you are enjoying these beautiful summer days.

I was commissioned to make a card for a gentleman member of the Moose Lodge.  He received the honor of earning the Pilgrim Degree of Merit, which I understand to be a very high honor.  I incorporated the emblem in the design of the card which I think made a nice touch.  And I just couldn't resist putting a small moose on the front of the envelope.  Since the colors of the emblem are red, yellow, and white, I chose those colors of card stock, and then added some black to hi-light.  Sure hope the requesting party likes it.  What do you think?



Thanks for stopping by.  Happy card making!

Blessings,
Annie
