You Always Deliver Birthday Card

As often as packages get delivered to my house, via USPS, UPS, Fedex & Amazon, you'd think I would have made a card like this a long time ago!

I guess I don't feel like my skills as a cardmaker are that good, therefore, I rarely give out the cards I make...I just store them up for some reason and do nothing with them!

I really loved the cute images in this set though, it is from a retired Stampin' Up set called " You Always Deliver"

I searched and found many adorable examples of cards that could be made using this set and it inspired me to try my own.

If you are interested in these other cards I found, you can see some of them on my Pinterest Board here, or by clicking the collage photo below:

I created mine to mimic a Postal Service Worker, but of course you could design him to be any delivery type worker you want, that is the fun part and the possibilities are endless!

Below are the measurements and supplies I used to create this card.

Celebrate Patriotic Card for 4th of July

I am a tad late posting this card as the glorious 250th Anniversary of this great country was celebrated last week, but I wanted to share anyway as I love this country and am so blessed to be able to live here in freedom that was so fervently fought for by our forefathers!

This card was inspired by a monthly project share challenge from my Stampin' Up Upline Anna...and this month's challenge/share was "Patriotic Pride"!

I was also inspired by this weeks "Freshly Made Sketches" Challenge #744.

I think Fourth of July is one of my most favorite Holidays, so you'd think with all my hoarders craft stash that I would have TONS of patriotic themed stuff to make this card, but sadly, when I went to get started on this card, I realized I was woefully short on supplies for this particular Holiday!

I did what I could with what I had on hand and just convinced myself to "Make it Work!" and I hope I did...
