Birthday Shopping Wishes

Today's card is for my bff and shopping partner! I used the My World cartridge to cut the shopping cart (or buggy as she would call it) using a mirror silver paper, at 2". I trimmed up the wheels a little to make them a little more proportionate to the girl. Now, here's a tricky one on making the girl. I cut two different girls from the Sweethearts cartridge, both at 3 1/4", and put them together. The top of her is the wedding dress girl with the dress and bouquet trimmed off and the bottom of her is the 'first kiss' girl with the top trimmed off. I trimmed the hair as well to make it look like a style closer to hers and added an arm on the side so that she looked normal. The paper on the side is from The Paper Studio Poteeka Souffle, the sentiment from Fiskars and the ribbon on each side is from a set of ribbon cards I found at Tuesday Morning.

God Bless Your New Home

Back in March, my uncle's families house burnt to the ground and they have rebuilt and are now moved in. I made them this card using My World to cut the new house cut at 3 1/2". I inked the edges of the roof and removed the door and the garage door because these are the colors of their new house. The paper is from Matha Stewart Woodlands stack and the solid green, I embossed using the Floral Screen folder. The ribbon is from the Target dollar bin and the sentiments, front and inside, were cut from Wild Card. I cut 'God Bless You' and then cut off the 'you' and then I cut 'for your new home' and cut off the 'for'. I also used the printed card stock on the inside with some more ribbon to finish it off.
