One of my kid's coworker got a promotion and my kid asked me to make a card for Karla.  The card measures were 8.5" x11 1/4"

I made the card using SCAL3 and the Cougar (Black Cat). Info about the cutter here.  I know Sherrie will be more that happy to answer any questions you may have.

Birthday Card and Box

The card and the box belong with the 04/13 post.  The card theme matches the party "Black Jack Night" theme that the party had.  The papers that I used to make the box were spotted by V. when we were working on her cards.  At the end, there were not enough sheets to make the cards that we needed.  I though that using the papers for the box would please her.

Box and Birthday card

Box close up

Inside the box, there was a money holder card.  the leaves was part of the money holder card decoration.  Instead of money, I wrote a note for V. and the money I made Kawasaki roses with the money.  No glue was used so she could unfold the bills and spend them.

SCAL3 and Black Cat cut outs

I used SCAL3 and my Black Cat to make these two projects.  I saw this type of cut out here http://www.allthingspaper.net/2012/04/p ... uotes.html and decided to make something similar for two very especial ladies.  The big difference is that the ones I saw are hand made.


Hope you like them.

Cake slice Box

I enjoyed making this box for my child's friend, K.  K had requested my daughter this box after seeing one I made last year.

Here is another cut that was used to decorate a vase.

40th birthday invitation card

V is going to celebrate her birthday and asked me to make her cards.  I was so happy!  She chose the papers from a stash I have.  She wanted to buy punches to go with the mat holding "40."  Instead, I used a free file from here  http://www.sherykdesigns-blog.com/2012/03/free-svg-dxf-gsd-tags.html.  The heart, diamond and the rest of the figures were in SCAL's basic shapes.  I used mounting tape to add depth to the card.

My kid's birthday card

My daughter got the card a couple of weeks ago.  She liked and wants her whole name done in the same manner... ouch!

Anyway, here is how I did it. After the letter was formed and the strips had been glued to the background, I turned the paper over and gently pushed back the holes left by the pins so they wouldn't be noticeable once the project was over.
