Let me tell you about the variety of cards I got for my birthday last month! The quilt card is from my Gramma Wright in Ohio. She learned this pattern from my cousin's wife, Jenna, who's paper quilt card tutorial was featured on Splitcoast Stampers a couple weeks ago, on my birthday actually:0) The farm card is one I made for my mom last year for a Christmas gift. (It went with a pack of cards and matching magnets). There was a nice check in her card, so I forgave her for giving me a "birthday card." :0) Just kidding, Mom, if you're reading this. She did follow up with a store-bought card too, which was a really nice one :0)
The one that says From the Heart is from Juliana Bibas, one of my Philly Inkers. I love that design! She said it was inspired by Ilina Crouse, another one of my Philly Inkers.
And then we have this long pink card, made by my hubby! He said it took him a few hours, (including the research phase). I was floored when I realized he figured out the butterfly die AND embosslit. One of the butterflies is cut out of a piece of cardboard that held some stamp accessory (he wanted to make sure I knew he'd made them, and didn't pick them out of my scrap pile). Just look at his attention to detail! When he makes me a card, embossing has to be involved, and this time he included dry and heat embossing. :0)
