Get Well Pirate Card

My grandmother had cataracts removed this week.  Her and I are very close, but not near as close as her and my son.  I love that she is well enough to establish such a wonderful relationship with him!


I came home and told him that "Double G" (he calls her that for Great-Grandma) had to wear a patch over her eye for a couple of days.  He's loving pirates right now, so he thought this was really cool!  I thought I would make her a pirate card and have him give it to her.

I used 3 Birds on Parade cartridge, and cut the pirate bird at 4 1/4".  I then added stickles to his little bit of hair.  She LOVED it and my son thought it was awesome!  It brought a smile on her face, so mission accomplished!

Deepest Sympathy Card

I made this sympathy card for the same co-worker as the football valentine.  This was for her aunt who is blind.  Therefore, she wanted the card to be very 3Dish.

I cut the birdbath from 3 Birds On Parade cartridge, which is a new cartridge for me.  I then added rhinestones to symbolize a fountain effect.  I added prima flowers with rhinestones for more color.  Finally, I covered the water in the bath with stickles for texture and shimmer of the glitter.
