Lights of Aurora Scenic Adventure card

Oh my gosh!  How I do love the new 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper stack, Lights of Aurora.  It was introduced on September 3 along with a suite of products.  I decided to purchase only the gems and DSP from the suite and combine it with the Scenic Adventure bundle as I thought I would get more use from both pieces of the bundle.  I love how this card turned out and just how easy it was.  A few die cuts, the dsp, a stamped sentiment and what a beautiful card you have.  It would work for either feminine or masculine and most any occasion.  To see how I've put my card together, be sure to watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel.  

Supplies and Measurements:

Scenic Adventures bundle* 165468

Ice skating birthday card with Dear Santa

For my final project this week, I've used Dear Santa and Forever Forest (along with some other things) to make a cute little birthday card for the young at heart.  My grandson's 18th birthday is coming up and this little guy reminds me so much of him the first time we took him ice skating in Disneyland at Olaf's Skating Rink.  Such great memories!  I've used a new technique with the Pearlized Enamel Effects to make the snow on my mountain tops.  To see how I've put this card together, be sure to watch the replay over on my YouTube channel.

Frosted Forest Masculine Thinking of You/Birthday card

 Hello everyone! I hope you had a fabulous weekend.  For the kids here in Sheridan, this is the last week of summer vacation.  I plan to soak up the most of it with our grandkids and spend some time at the beach this week.  The weather is supposed to be nice, but often when it's nice here at home, it's not so nice at the beach.  Hopefully, we'll have good enough weather to play in the sand. 

Now onto my card for today.  I made the original card you see here for my husband for our 44th wedding anniversary last Friday.  When I made the card during my YouTube live, I switched out the inside sentiment for a birthday card.  Either way, the design works well without changing the sentiment on the front.  I do love how it turned out.  You can watch the YouTube replay to see how I put the card together.
