Happy 30th Birthday Sarah!

My best friend turned 30 a few weeks back.  I made this card for her and didn't want to post it until she received it.  So I'm a few weeks late with this post but better late than never right??
It's a never ending card.  I'm sure this templete is out there in multiple places but this is where I found it Never Ending Card Tutorial by Julie Buhler.  I hope you enjoy!





The supplies I used are from Stampin' Up!©
Paper:  Raspberry Tart DSP (retired), Kiwi Kiss (retired), Rose Red, Whisper White
Stamp sets:  Upsy Daisy, Triple Treat Flower, Curvy Verses
Punches: Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border, Scallop Oval, Large Oval
BigShot Dies: Beautiful Wings Embosslits, Timeless Type Junior Alphabet Sizzlits

Thanks for looking,

Get Well Pop-Up Flower Card

One of my friends is moving away and having a major surgery this week.  So after some searching online I found this great tutorial by Qbee's Quest: Flower Box Pop-Up Card. She has posted step-by-step instructions which were so helpful. I had to make some slight alterations since I didn't have all of the same supplies.  Look what I came up with.

Since the card ends up being a 5 1/2 inch square I needed to make a special envelope.

All the cardstock I used is from Stampin' Up!©  
Here are the colors I used:
Daffodils:  Daffodil Delight, Peach Parfait, and Always Artichoke
Tulips:  Poppy Parade, Blushing Bride, and Always Artichoke
Hyacinths: Rich Razzleberry, Elegant Eggplant, and Always Artichoke

Thanks for looking,
