Happy Birthday - Over the Hill

I made this card for my step-father after seeing something similar on Pinterest. He's an outdoorsy kind of guy so I thought the theme was well suited for him.

Card Swap - Treat Holder

Here is my treat holder for this month's card swap. I used the largest framelit from the Labels Collection and folded it almost in half to line up with the tab. The space created by the fold turned out to be ideal for pixie stixs, twizzlers and the like.

Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2012 (May)

Here is my interpretation of Tim's tag for May.  Once again all the products used are from Stampin' Up!. The only exception is the sewing pattern pdf which I purchased from Etsy and printed on tissue paper.  I used real red ink for the Eiffel Tower (Artistic Etchings stamp set) and distressed everything with chocolate chip ink.  As for the flower, I used the Blossoms Petal Builder punch, glued everything together and covered it with crystal effects.  The stem was made using Pear Pizzazz seam binding ribbon.
