Happy Birthday, Mom! Yes, my parents are two days apart, just like my lil' sister and me. I know, I told you, Fall is crazy busy filled with birthdays. And as many of you know, I rarely get to make pink cards, as my daughter loves purple, and I have three sons and a hubby at home. So, when I came across this pattern paper I just knew I had to make another "quilt" card in pink and black and frilly for my mom. I just love pink and black together. Don't you? It's so classic and gorgeous for any occasion...
I border punched the black card base down the right side. Saving the swirl punch scraps for the center accents. And added a 1" pink polka dot strip to the inside of the card. Using the picture as a guide, punch out the squares from three different pattern papers and adhered the bottom squares to the black card base. The center squares I cut in half and matched together to create the pinwheel effect. I cut out two larger squares, about 3" and 3 1/4", to create two mattes and adhered together. Then adhered the center squares to the mattes. Add the black swirls, buttons, and ribbon. And another card with NO stamping, again! As much as I LOVE my stamps, it can be done. I added a "for you" sticker to the front, that I will post soon and stickers inside that read happy birthday to finish it up. Lets see what you can make with no stamping and scraps. Share them on my facebook page "My Kraft Kloset", I'd love to see them.
A personal note: October makes us "think pink" for breast cancer, get checked, or donate, support our loved ones, and celebrate the survivors. And this is near and dear to my family as we support my sister going through treatment. I am not a dr, nor in the medical field, so speak to your dr. But I do urge you to tell your grandmothers, mothers, sisters, daughters, and friends to "think pink" every month and every year. As 1 in 4 women you know will get breast cancer and early detection saves lives. You're never too young to get a mammogram and if you're 40+ years you should have one every year. And if you're ever told you have dense breast tissue, then insist on an ultrasound too. It could save lives. And it is your life..."think pink" and take charge of your health. xo
