Timeless Classic Birthday Card
(inside: I just want you to know how incredibly special you are… not only on your birthday but every single day!)
As soon as I saw this, I immediately thought how perfect it would be for my husband who is a huge Frank Sinatra fan! This (5×7) card was created with the “Timeless Classic Card” SVG file from Dreaming Tree and my Silhouette electronic die cutting machine. Here is a video showing how the pieces all go together.
All the card stock was Recollections – 4 grays from the “Architecture” pack, red and gold from the “Primary Foil” pack, navy, black, and white. I used Copic marker YR09 to color his orange pocket square.
Because this was for my husband’s birthday, I used one of the birthday stamps from the “Birthday Blessings” set from Gina K Designs, but the file includes the “Timeless Classic” words which could be used instead.
The file also includes a pop-up gift card holder for the inside and a custom envelope which I did not use.
The inside greeting is from the “Birthday Innies” set from Sweet and Sassy. I used a stamp from the “Timeless Textures” set from Stampin’ Up to add the texture to the tie and hat band.

Pickleball for Father’s Day
I’m a bit late posting this, but…
Pickleball seems to be all the rage these days, and my husband has definitely been bitten by the bug! When I saw this “Pickleball Card” SVG file from Dreaming Tree, I knew I had to make his Father’s Day card with it. While it comes with the Father’s Day greeting (and 2 different print and cut panels for the inside sentiment), this (5×7) card could be used for anyone (and for any occasion) who loves pickleball!
I cut all the pieces with my Silhouette electronic die cutting machine. Here is a video showing how they all go together.

Happy Birthday Money Cake
Here’s a fun way to display a monetary gift!
I cut the pieces from the Money Cake svg file from Dreaming Tree with my Silhouette electronic die cutting machine. Here is a video showing how it goes together. I resized mine to 130% since I needed slightly larger holes to fit 4-5 bills in each of the 20 holes. (The recipient is always looking for singles, and I wanted to include 85 to match her age.)
The greeting is from the Birthday Blessings stamp set from Gina K Designs (retired). (A graduation “print and cut” panel is included with the download if this were to be a graduation gift.) The card stock is an old Love Nicole print (from A.C. Moore) that I’ve had forever along with GKD Bubblegum (card stock and ink).

Quilled Floral Mother’s Day Card
(inside: Wishing you a happy day!)
I haven’t done any quilling in a while and had big ideas in my head for this card. Quilling is A LOT harder than it looks (for me) – LOL! What was going to be a large quilled pattern with multiple flowers and swirls ended up being one, simple flower. Oh well; I’ll keep practicing!
The printed paper is from the “Floral Fields” paper pack from Creek Bank Creations. The purple card stock is Bazzill Velvet. The greeting die and inside sentiment stamp are from Amazon.
I have such respect for people who can quill well!!

Easter Joy Cross Card
(inside: Wishing you a blessed Easter)
I saw this video to make a dimensional cross card and thought I’d give it a try.
Bethany’s instructions show how to make what I used as my card front. I added a top folding card base behind that panel (measuring 3 1/2 x 11 inches folded in half) to allow it to stand up better (it leans forward without the added base) and to have an “inside” for my sentiment/personal message (she put her message on the back).
The patterned paper is from the “Linen Floral” paper pack from Creek Bank Creations. American Crafts Velvet and white card stock was also used.
Both the greeting on the front and the sentiment on the inside were from the “Just Sentiments: Easter” stamp set from Ink to Paper and were stamped with Gina K Designs Plum Punch ink. I used a 1 1/2 inch and a 1 3/4 inch punch for the circles.
This card folds flat (to A2 size) for mailing.
