Know What Rhymes With Birthday? MFT's Cheers to Your Birthday

 


Hello, and welcome to my blog, where I get to share my latest hand crafted cards
and projects. Sometimes you'll see a chicken or their 'handiwork', my sweet dog,
or a peek at my garden.
Today I'm celebrating with MFT's Cheers To Your Birthday Card sets.


Within the set are various bar glasses, and these martini, or as I used them, margarita
glasses. You can even see the salt on the rim!


One with a lime wedge, and the other with cherried umbrella.  This photo gives a detailed
look at the vellum glasses, inked on the edges, the sponge inked margaritas, and a few other 
fun design elements.


With the exception of the Halvsies die by The Greetery, all product is MFT. 
I've listed what I used below. 
Hope you got a chuckle from the sentiment! I know just who's getting this
happy birthday card, and she loves margaritas! (Who doesn't?)
Have a great week!

The Flower Challenge Reminder #70: CAS

 


Summer's in full swing in CA's Central Valley, hot and dry!
Keeping my precious flowers alive and blooming is always a task, 
and sometimes it works, sometimes, with temps at over 100 for weeks,
it's a loosing battle...


Fortunately, there's no shortage of colorful blooms in the craft room!
I'm bringing a reminder of our challenge at the Flower Challenge: CAS, 
Clean and Simple.


One central focus, with lots of white space. 


Pick a favorite flower and play along!

What's the Buzz?

 


All 'a-buzz' about the new honey jar from The Greetery... 


Hi there! I had several honey jars on my craft table, and decided to play with different
jar toppers. The honey jar can be left open or topped with a cloth like bonnet and string.


I went 'country' with this card and paired the honey jar with The Greetery's
Oopsie Daisy. 'Dipped' my honey stick with colored GA, (a technique I explain
in my previous post).


The honeycomb background corners are just the perfect accent for the jar.


Have a sweet weekend!
