Happy Birthday!

Hi everyone, I hope that the start of this holiday weekend is a good one for you!  I also want to wish all my U.S. friends a safe and Happy Fourth of July!

One of the people that works with Ricky asked if I could make a card for her for her nephew's 18th birthday and of course I had to say "YES!" and I knew just the card to make.  A while back, actually five years ago I made a card for Danielle's birthday.  It was a long card that I cut out 18 candles and adhered them to the card.  It was fun, and I've acquired many cut files since that time so I went to work...

Of course at the end of all the candles is a cuppy cake!!  Then I thought I did not have an envelope to put it in so I had to make one.  I didn't get to take a picture of that so you have to trust me, it was cute :)

 

I thought that I'd pop in and share with you all.  I have worked on some swap cards and I will share those in a couple of days too!  Have a safe and wonderful weekend no matter where you are!

Happy 4th of July!

Ok, I'm a few day's early but I wanted to show you a little something I made for hubby's co-workers.  I love to make little treats for his work family.  So this July 4th I made them some fire works!

I wrapped 5 Rolo's in red paper that was measured 3" x 3 1/4" and secured it with red line tape.  I then took a strip of 1" pattern paper and wrapped it at the top of the roll.  I added a mini glue dot on the inside of the roll to secure a length of red and white bakers twine ~ for the fuse.  The held 3 rolls together with a length of black and white bakers twine.  I am going to make a tag to add to each one, I'm just not sure how I want to secure it though.

 

These were really quick and easy to make, I hope you like them so much that you want to go buy a bag of Rolo's and make some for your friends!

 

Have a nice day ~ and a safe and happy 4th of July!!
