As you know from previous sneak peeks, this set focuses on the the blessing of friendship in oue lives. I made this card for a dear friend whom I use to work with back in Florida. I sent it to her office at work so she would feel special and know that I miss seeing her sweet smile in the office. Just some PTI kraft cardstock, buttons your new Christmas Friends stamp set, and some glitter and voila... beautiful!
I loved using the little barn door to make this card a bit more interesting. This gave me the chance to stamp my sweet little friendship birds on the inside. I used the swirl stamp for the branches and hand drew the leaves.
I made this card for my father-in-law when he was in the hospital this fall. I loved the masculine touch with brown and teal . The swirls in the Christmas Friends stamp set have a fabulous movement to them which makes it easy to create background or pattern papers with them. The sentiment is from my first PTI release: Fall Elegance. I use these sentiments for all sorts of cards!
For this card I used a rich brown glitter on the swirls to add depth and to give it a finished look. I like the teal and orange... these colors with the right accents can be used for just about any season! This sentiment is also from the PTI Fall Elegance stamp set.
This was a card celebrating my wonderful brother's birthday! I have two amazing brothers and consider them both to be the dearest of my friends. I wanted this card to be fun, but not so feminine that he would hide it when his girlfriend comes over. :) I love the green hues and the rhinestone for a nice touch. The sentiment is from PTI's Mega Mixed Messages. (If you don't have this set, put it in your cart now! It's a necessity!)
I really like the birds behind the secret door. I loved those little things as a kid and still love them today.
