Another momentous birthday- making light of turning 70!

You may remember the You Still Rock Bag I posted not long ago. Well that inspired me to make this cheeky 70th Birthday card for someone in my family who might not appreciate it if I divulged her age. Hopefully, she will get a big kick out of it when it arrives with her gift. It uses the brand new eyelet punch from Stampin' Up!® and the Just Jawing stamp set. For the numbers, once again, I used the Inque Boutique set Sharie Numbers. To give the shimmer to the bow & eyes, I used a Pixie Pink marker with two way glue and Dazzling Diamonds glitter over top. I used just the glue and Dazzling Diamonds to make the shiny teeth. The stars were embossed using silver embossing powder with Versamark ink. Cardstock is all from SU: Going Grey, Whisper White, Pixie Pink & Basic Black.

Tell Your Valentine...You Rock!

Here is a fun Valentine's Treat Bag for your daughter, mom or wife. Wanna make it more manly? Change the colors to red & black and add a bandana to the skull to make more dude appropriate! (Challenge: If you try this, send me an email so I can post on the blog! Also, send me your spin on this girl version. All products available for purchase on my SU website. Plus get a FREE catalog while supplies last!)

This project uses pretty in pink, basic black, going grey and whisper white CS from Stampin’ Up.!® For the pink glitter elements, I used a marker to handcolor the hearts and as my ink for stamping the bow. I used some 2-way glue on top of those and the teeth along with dazzling diamonds to rock out this gift bag. The stamp set is Just Jawing (not just for Halloween use!!!) and Scary Skulls, both from Stampin’ Up!®. The wide ribbon is 5/8" striped Pink Pirouette and the skinnier is 1/4" pretty in pink grosgrain, also from SU. The box template is my original design. Email me if you are interested in the pattern.
