Friday Friend Share

This week I am sharing an encouragement card from my friend Jeannie. She sent it to me last year when I did need some encouragement. Love it!

I don't know anything about any of the products she used. Right now Stampin' Up! has a balloon set and it could be used to create a card similar to this.

Thanks for sharing this card with me Jeannie.

Have you seen the Sale-A-Bration brochure yet? This stamp set, "Hey, Chick" is a very popular stamp set. If you are planning on getting it don't wait until the last minute to earn it because the products in the Sale-A-bration brochure are "as supplies last".

Here's my version of a card using the Hexagon Dynamic embossing folder as a stamp for the chicken wire background.

Here's a cute Valentine. Don't you just love the little Hedgehogs? They are so cute!

I'm not sure which company manufactured this stamp. There are several that have sold Hedgehog stamps, including Stampin' Up!.

Thanks Betty, for this cute little card. 

Have a blessed day,
Trude

Have you started building your birthday card stash for this year's birthdays? It's one thing on my to-do list. I am going to be including at least one birthday card in each card class for the next few months!

Here is a birthday card that was created by my friend Eileen. It is simple elegance. Don't know what company manufactured these stamps.

The new 2017 Occasions catalog has so many birthday stamp sets! It's amazing. What is your favorite set in the new catalog?

It's so hard to choose. I think I NEED all of them☺.

As soon as I saw this stamp set in the Stampin' Up! Sale-A-Bration brochure I knew I needed it! It's such a fun set to create masculine cards with.
