Another month has flown by and I don't know where the time goes! I've stayed very busy doing some vinyl work for my church, but I did find the time to make a few birthday cards. Seems like birthday cards are the ones I use the most and it doesn't hurt to have a few on standby! I didn't go out and check to see if these cards met any of the current challenges....just thought I'd share with you.
I really love this first card. I used a NBUS stamp from SSS (Beautiful Flowers) and I love that it covers the entire length of the card without having to mask and stamp! I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils then cut around the right side and popped it off the card base. I added a piece of pink behind the flowers. The sentiment is also from SSS. I also added a few Nuvo drops in pearl.
This card is just something I was playing with....the tulips are a small stamp from Clearly Besotted and have matching dies. I stamped, colored with Copics, and popped on a white card base that I made some clouds on using a piece of masking paper and distress inks. The sentiment is also from Clearly Besotted.
For this card, I used the Peek A Boo die from MFT, the large stitched rectangle was cut with the SSS die. I had one tulip left from the previous card so I popped it into the opening and added a distress inked background. I also added a few tiny pieces of bling.
This card is mostly made with Washi tapes. I added strips of Washi tape to a 4.5 x 5.5 inch background, then adhered it to a white card base. I used some MFT alpha dies to cut the "happy" from the panel, then cut foam letters too. I added them back into the cut outs from the Washi panel. The "birthday" sentiment was stamped with versamark ink and heat embossed in white. It looked kind of plain, so I added some thin strips of the green to form a border.
This is a card I made for a friend of mine who will soon turn 76. I always try to send him something unique, so I made this slider card. I made this card using techniques from a video from Jennifer McGuire. You can see what it looks like opened up in the photo below. The sentiment was die cut 4 times and layered from a MFT die. I cut the sliding mechanism with the Cameo (although I've since ordered the die to do this). The balloons are from Sunny Studios and have a matching die. The sentiment inside the card is from PTI (and I've had it forever!)
Thanks so much for stopping by! If you've left me a comment, please know that I sincerely appreciate each and every one! Hope to see you again soon!

Hello !
I'm writting an article for the winter wishes issue of the french magazine called "Passion cartes créatives".
The subject is "totally white cards"...
I wish to show your cards (seen here : http://susangoetter.blogspot.com/2013/10/its-been-while.html) within this article.
Would you agree with that ?
If yes, could you please send me as soon as possible a high resolution photo of your creation ?
Of course, your name or pen name if you want will appear next to the image, and the address of your blog will be in the address book.
Thank you in advance for your quick answer, even if it is negative, so that I can get organized (I have to give my paper very soon).
Best Regards, Elise AMANN
Oh, they are all so nice, but the second one is my fave! The layers give it such depth. I need to have another card making party this fall- you have given me some good ideas!
