A musical birthday card...

Catie's Piano Card
Perfectly Penned stamp set, , set of 4 or each stamp available individually


 My niece, Catie Morton, created this card recently for one of her teachers.  Catie is a Senior at Maury High School in Norfolk.  She is a very talented violin player and swimmer.  Her Mom was surprised and impressed with Catie's birthday card creation and so am I!  I wanted to share it with you ~ it's a great idea, one you may want to use in the future.

Guest Artist: Janie Dodge

Jane's bd card 2
Blooming with Kindness, set of 6


Janie's Technique:  Glittered Dryer Sheets!

1.  Save your dryer sheets.

2.  Stamp images on card stock.

3.  Apply Stampin' Up!'s Anywhere Glue Stick (#104045) over the stamped image.

4.  Place a used dryer sheet over the glue and smooth out.

5.  Cut off the excess or wrap around the card stock and glue on back.

6.  Sprinkle Dazzling Diamonds Glitter (#102023, $4.50) over the dryer sheet.  It will stick to the glue. 

7.  You can also stamp directly onto the dryer sheet (similar to mulberry paper), brayer it to add color or dye the dryer sheet with a few drops of re-inker in a plastic bag.  This technique lends itself to a fabulous sparkly winter card ~ try it!

Thanks, Janie, your card is beautiful!  And, Happy Birthday Evie!
