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).
Thanks for checking out my project!
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.

Easter Egg Car and Bunny
This box card was made with an SVG file called Box Card – Easter Egg Car Bunny by Lori Whitlock. Once the pieces were cut using my Silhouette electronic die cutting machine, it went together pretty quickly.
This card folds flat for mailing. However, when folded, it measures roughly 5 3/4 x 5 3/4 inches so I needed to make a custom envelope with my We R Memory Keepers envelope punch board. (Paper size: 9 1/4″ square; first fold at 4 5/8″)

Split Panel Background
This card layout was made with two 3×4 inch panels of patterned paper. One of the panels was cut in half diagonally, and the other became the focal panel. I love this simple layout to highlight pretty paper and to add interest to the background as well.
The patterned paper I used is Recollections “Lavender Lines” and a piece from the “Floral Meadows” paper pad from Brass & Bliss. The base and mats are from the Recollections “Passion Fruit” cardstock pack (no longer available?).
The greeting was computer generated (CK Curly font), and a few 3mm crystals were added for a hint of sparkle.
