Harley Davidson Motorcycle Birthday Card

Hi all! This is a card I made for our friends birthdays. Their birthdays are 2 days apart so I made one card for the both of them. Twenty years ago they sold their bikes and just recently bought his and her Harley Davidson motorcycles again.  That was the inspiration for the sentiment on the front and the motorcycle theme. The bikes are on action wobbles. I wish I had take a video before I gave them the card. They looked really cute wobbling :-)

Flower Vase Sympathy Card

Hi all. I made this sympathy card for a good friend of mine who lost her sister recently. My friends favorite color is purple and that was the inspiration for the colors I chose. I really like the satin and glossy papers on the front of the card. I used the loop frame design on the front and on the inside. That's one of my favorite cuts on this cartridge. The stickles added to the flowers made them really stand out. Hopefully it brighted her day just a little bit.
