HAPPY BOSSES' DAY

Well, it's that time of year... NO! Not Halloween... Bosses' Day.

Here is a card I made for my boss.  It's an easel card and I used a little coin envelope that I covered in DCWV paper on the back to hold a gift card.

The flowers from a Hero Arts stamp that I bought from Michaels. I stamped them in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  I then colored with a variety of Copics and Liquid Pearls and Stickles.  The sentiment was created with Jessie's ABC from Lawn Fawn.  The ink used was Jenni Bowlin (Brown Sugar).  The sentiment was die cut via a Paper Trey Ink die. 

I love Jennifer Tidwell's site. She has such an unique style to making cards.  She layers a lot and puts TONS of embellishments that just all coordinate so beautifully. Her cards aren't normally A2 size and that also makes her unique.  BUT WHAT I LOVE is her periodic 'SHOW ME THURSDAY' blogs, where she shows you what her desk looks like.  So cool... like a treasure chest of goodies, trying to figure out what she's creating.

If you haven't checked her site out, please do.  

Here's my scrapcave the other night. You can't see my Jared Padalecki calendar because it's still turned to July. 

... I need a bigger room.  Or a professional organizer to figure out this crazy mess in my room.

Boss's Day

I thought I'd share the card that I made for my boss for boss's day. I tried to make it masculine with the colors but threw in the flower to add color. When you open the S-card, there is a photo of him and me at an event. Haha. He's going to laugh.

If you made a card like this for someone, you could put anything in the area where the photo is. There is also a small vertical rectangle area on the inside of the card that you can write a sentiment or note, as well.

As you can see, I used the "Thank you" cuttlebug embossing folder. The rest is the George and Basic Cricut cartridge (I used the Design Studio software to fit it into the card area). I got the flower at Michaels ("Daisy Doodles.") I faux-stitched in white around the green edge.
