Teen girls

 I have a couple cards I can share that I sent to a couple great nieces, they are all growing up so fast. I used a dye for the sentiment and the cupcake, I have had these birthday present rub ons for a very long time now and thought they would make a nice border for this card. I added a few sprinkles to the cupcake with markers.



  • Yvonne Creations - Happy Birthday die
  • Memory Box - Stitched Circle layers die
  • Spellbinders - Happy Birthday cupcake die
  • Martha Stewart - circle punch
  • BasicGrey - Rub ons, presents and swirl


This next one I used some butterfly ephemera and framed them using a border punch.


  • American Crafts - Stitched butterflies
  • Martha Stewart - Butterfly border punch
  • Tim Holtz - Small talk sentiment

I am in shock, I guess we are supposed to hit 70 degrees today, tomorrow will be back in the 40's but I love when we get these unexpected hopes for spring coming :)
Hope your week is off to a good start.

Thanks for stopping by,

Connie

Your cards are always so beautiful, and your nieces will appreciate them, I love the transfers, they are so easy to use and really add something special to the card. Yes, we are hoping for spring (while still hoping winter delivers a bit more snow...) Blessings to you!

Very Pretty! Love the rub ons, the contrasting black to the pretty purple looks great! And then your 2nd card with the fab colorful stripes and beautiful die cut butterfly borders and butterfly topped circles. Awesome!

Connie, these are sweet and perfect for teen girls! I'm especially smitten with the second in the way the colors pop. Cute little butterfly border punch. I'm very late getting here, but I hope you got to enjoy that 70 degree weather you mentioned!

Your cards for your great nieces are delightful. The use of the cupcake die and birthday present rub-ons adds such a festive touch. The butterfly ephemera on the second card creates a beautiful frame.
