Birthday and Senior Cards-Photo Heavy!

Hello!

I hope this finds you doing well, staying healthy and keeping busy. 

This post is very photo heavy, just to warn you. *Ü*

My daugher turned 19 last week! Oh my goodness, I keep saying I'm in denial. LOL 

She had a good day, in spite of the pandemic. We did a little shopping and a friend of Amy's stopped by. Then the girls went out themselves for a bit. We went out to eat and stopped at a new to me place that makes shaved ice. It was fascinating to watch the big blocks of ice get shaved down. 

Anyway, Amy has always loved giraffes and still does. But she's also enamored with llamas these days. Enter Doodlebug's new paper pad, Hey Cupcake, Icon sticker sheet and coordinating stamp set. 

She really liked her card. I was inspired by a card made by Kristie Marcotte.

Next up, I made a new set of cards for the seniors where Amy works. My friend, Kristie Marcotte  did a video tutorial using Echo Park's America and I followed her inspiration for my cards. She uses sketches for her cards and figures the measurements and shares them in her coordinating blog posts to the videos. She works so hard making these cards, I have to give her a shout out. As I have followed several of her tutorials, I find that I am feeling more confident going a little out on my own, so not all my cards follow hers exactly. Just as it probably should be. :)

I've used many different products to make the cards. If you have a particular question about a product, feel free to ask away. I'm happy to answer any question you have. I don't want to make this post any longer than it already is. 

I hope you enjoy my cards. Feel free to click on the pictures for a larger view. 

I took a picture of the inside of the card and the envelope. 

The sentiment is from Reverse Confetti and the fireworks images are from MFT.  The happy mail stamp is from Mint Owl Studio.

Thanks, Kristie for the inspiration you so freely give.

And thank you for stopping by.

USA friends, I hope you have a wonderful Independence Day.

Crafty Hugs!
