60th Birthday - Celebrate!
Turning 60 is something to toast! Here I used the Half Full stamp set. I stamped the glasses stamp twice, added a mat, colored in a couple of the glasses and then die cut the numbers from Black Glimmer Paper.
Inside, I added the sentiment "fabulous at any age" (from Itty Bitty Greetings) sort of badge and then will write my own message to the birthday recipient. My card was inspired 
Negative Space Card Creation
I am awaiting my August Paper Pumpkin kit. While I wait, I used this negative from last month's kit to create a sympathy card. I love the way the Old Olive looks when placed over black--very bold! Those stem cut outs somehow seem calm and comforting to me.

Laser-Cut Sympathy
Sadly, I sometimes need a sympathy card. Using the Bird Ballad Laser-Cut Cards & Tin enabled me to quickly put together this card so I could send it off in a timely fashion.

Today's card was inspired by a card that Maike Beimler made in June. I loved how she wrapped the lighthouse 
Smooth Sailing
This lovely Night of Navy and Seaside Spray card began with an extra lighthouse stamped in Sea Spray ink. I had the Beautiful Layers dies sitting on my desk next to it and saw the lovely geometric-like accents, which I added to a Night of Navy Stitched Rectangle.
Once in awhile, it's nice to have a card with no sentiment! You can always add one when you are ready to give the card.
