Birthday Card for my sister...
This is the card I made for my sister. I had made her a box card last year for her birthday, and she liked it so much that she told me that she reluctantly gave her card to a close friend for her birthday. I purposely made the card that when you opened the box card...inside the box at the bottom was two inserts one with her name on it signed by me...and one underneath that she could reuse the card and give it to someone else, and I also gave her an extra envelope. I told her since she like that idea so much I would make another box card for her this year. Ginny, is actually my step-sister but she feels more like a sister, and we try to get together to visit at least once a month. I think one of the reasons we're close is that we didn't become sisters till we were both in our twenties...(No fights to remember as young children...LOL!) Ginny grew up with four brothers and no sisters, till her father married my mother. I'm several years older than she is...but our birthday's are only one week apart, and we usually try to get together on our Birthday Week! I look forward to that each year.

For this card, I dry embossed two panels of an Anna Griffin Embossing folder. I made my rolled roses with Quilled Creations, Blooming roses, and cut my circle with spellbinder dies...(Lacey Circles) my sentiment was stamped with a stamp from Stampin' Up (Elementary Elegance)
Jill this is a beautiful card - and what a great idea to make it in such a way that it can be reused.

This is such a beautiful card with those pretty flowers and elegant embossing! I really like the idea to enable the recipient to re-gift the card to someone else as more people are able to enjoy your hand-made card!
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful dry embossing and your roses are just as beautiful. What a great idea for re-using the card.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! Beautiful embossing and love the flowers. And happy birthday to your sister :)

ReplyDeleteJill, that's wonderful that you and your step sister are so close!

ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful card, Jill! The design is fantastic and your sweet roses are so precious! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteThis is so elegant and feminine! I love your previous card too! I often put my message in a card on a separate piece of paper, index card or even post it so the card can be used again. A friend of mine suggested that and I like the thought of it being passed on and enjoyed again.
ReplyDeleteSuper pretty card. Love the embossing and your pretty flowers. Perfect BD card for a sister. Lovely work my friend. Hugz!
