Coolest Birthday Ever...

I saw this darling image over at my friend Linda's blog and had to jump in and participate in the progressive challenge at Deedee Digis.  I cut this little fella out with my Cameo, leaving a small border around him.  Another friend is approaching her 49th birthday....so I hope she likes the card.

Pop-up cards are always a challenge for me to photograph.  I gave it my best shot...lol  Buttons, stitching, heart dies, string, glossy accents, ribbon, copic markers and I call it done.

A2 size, Sizzix pop-up die, pop-ups for dimension, glitter pen

Lemon, Lime, Orange, Grapefruit svg

       Svgcuts.com offered a free svg called Sour Lemon.  I made a lemon, lime and orange card.  I will to a grapefruit card today. Using a public domain glass, I took it into Inkscape, added and cleaned up nodes and added some elements.  Download HERE for glass with straw and HERE for ice cube. (It is hard to see the glass micro beads used for the inside of lemon and lime.  I used Martha Stewart glitter on inside of orange and  copic markers on the small glasses. I cut them out in SCAL since I was doing about 6 of each...time saver.  It was hard to make paper look like glass per my little experience and same goes for an ice cube, but I gave it the old college try. (I incorporated a Penny Duncan leaf svg svg and the citrus stamp is from Stampin Up.)
