Amanda’s birthday
My lovely niece, Amanda, has a birthday coming up so I made this tri-shutter card for her. Purple is her favorite color as well as mine, so that makes it extra fun for me to make her something. She has actually come over and made cards with me a few times, so she recognizes what goes into those extra-special touches, and thus, she truly appreciates the effort I put into cards I give her.
Recipe:
My Mind’s Eye 29th Street Market papers
Recollections Boutique Fleur gemstone butterflies
Sizzix architecture die
Sizzix leaf vine die
Cuttlebug alphabet die (Sorry, I don’t know what it’s called. It came with the Cuttlebug I purchased used from a private party.)
McGills Petite Petals punch
Spellbinders Labels Four die
Spellbinders Scalloped Circles small die
Cuttlebug “happy birthday” small folder
Stampendous dark blue pearlescent embossing powder
