Mom's Birthday is ThursdayI cant believe she is turning 74. I wish we could be there. I finally got her card done and out in the mail today. I had bought a new stamp last month just to make Mom's card but when I tried to stamp and color it the stamp was defective and the middle of the stamp wouldnt show up so now at the last minute I had to totally rethink her card. I decided to look through the cards pictures I have stored on my laptop and found a new design. Then I had to pick out a new stamp, so I decided to use one of the new ones I hadnt used yet, so that meant I needed to do a trial run on how I wanted to color it. Once I got that done I had to pick out what color I wanted the card to be and color the picture to go with it. I pulled out the die cutters I have and decided to use the scallop circle to cut the picture out. I wanted to use the new dotted swiss embossing card I got recently but when I tried it I realized the strip of white I needed was longer then the embossing card. So I ran it thru the first time and then turned the strip around lined it up on the dots and reran it. But I miss judged and had a strip that wasnt embossed. So then I decided to run a strip of red sparkly ribbon around each side. It looked great. I put the front of the card all together, and then picked out the stamp I wanted to use on the insides. I have a great Its your Birthday stamp so I stamped it on a white sheet with red ink for the inside and attached it. I love the way this card came together even if it wasnt the card I originally planned. Oh and I took the first stamp back to the store and they are getting me a new one from one of their other stores!
