Celebrating 50!

Good Monday morning!  My brother-in-law just celebrated his young age of 50, here's the card I made for him.  The card base is Basic Black and I sponged all the edges with Soft Suede ink from Stampin' Up.  The designer paper is from Graphic 45.  I used Labels 18 from Spellbinders and added a sentiment from Close to My Heart.  The little gears I found at Home Depot (not sure what the name of these critters are) and the larger one I got at a bolt supply store.  I painted them with gold and then dabbed them with gold stickles.  The numbers are stickers I picked up at Wal-Mart.  Hope you like my card and enjoy your day!  Jonelle  :)

Thinking Of You

Good Tuesday morning!  I'm sharing a card that I made for a good friend of mine. it was her birthday recently and this is the card I came up with.   The card base is Bravo Burgundy.  The next layer is done using the Belleek Technique.  I used Naturals Ivory and River Rock ink, the embossing folder is from Cuttlebug.  All I do for this is, ink up the flat side of the embossing folder, insert the card stock and run it through my big shot---it's just that easy!  I sponged all my edges with Vintage Photo distress ink from Tim Holtz.  I added a Fancy Tags ll, and an oval from Spellbinders.  The small oval is a punch, and sentiment are from Stampin' Up.  Just to add a little bling, I added  rhinestones and some Vintage Photo stickles.  Hope you like my card and have a crafty day!  Jonelle  :)

A Birthday Card

Good Friday morning everyone!  I made this birthday card for my brother-in-law.  I'm using Baja Breeze and Natural Ivory card stock, the images, the texture plate and polka dot embossing folder are all from Stampin' Up.  I've used Kraft card stock from Recollections.  I've inked all the edges using Soft Suede ink.  To finish off the card, I added twine.  Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend.  Jonelle  :)
