This card could go for anyone who is going through some kind of change in their life, it could be a graduation, divorce, or even the death of someone.  I love the simplicity of the thistle.

I stamped the thistle in a light purple ink and then colored the leaves a light green.  I stamped a sentiment on the right side and another one on the inside. To finish off the card I added a couple of rhinestones and some winkastella for some shimmer.

As I was making this card I was remembering all the fun shaker cards were as I was growing up and thought this would be a fun one for any age.

I first cut out a picture of a birthday cake for the background and then added some sequins for the shaker part.

For the front of the card I used an embossing folder and embossed Happy Birthday all around on white card stock. I die cut the words make a wish and framed it out on pink card stock and then added a small pink frame around the shaker part.

For the inside I added a sentiment in pink ink.

I thought I would try out this new design that everyone is making. It is called the lattice fence card. As you can see it looks just like a white picket fence and it is so easy to make.

I die cut the leaves and vine and then I stamped the Hello friend in the upper left corner and stamped the hummingbird and flowers.

To make the picket fence you take your card base and cut 6 strips at 1/2 an inch.  For my fence I took the 6th strip and cut it in half for the strips going vertical.
