Looking back, not only has our design team group grown and evolved, but so have I. One year ago, I was working part-time, making cards as needed, and blogging 3-4 times per month, if that. I was also between my laptop dying and having our new computer built; so I was taking pictures on my phone, editing them on my tablet, and blogging from my tablet. Let me just say; I hope I NEVER have to do that again! It was not a picnic. Now I am working full-time, making cards on a daily, or weekly basis; and blogging an average of 15 times a month. I'm also 25 pounds lighter than I was a year ago.
As I was deciding what to create for this special post today; I decided that I should do a CASE of the card I posted one year ago. After checking out last year's post, this was what I was inspired to create:
I love the new Typeset Designer Series Paper. It is a lightweight and realistic book type paper. I embossed the flowers from Bloom With Hope using Gold Embossing Powder. I had originally thought that I would color them in, but I liked the look of them as they are. Using the Banner Framelits, I layered a piece of Gold Foil Paper behind it. The Argyle Embossing Folder, a length of 1-1/4" Crumb Cake Striped Grosgrain Ribbon and a few Cherry Cobbler Candy Dots rounded out this card.
Such a classy looking card. The gold really makes this card pop! Happy Birthday!
