My newest embossing folder from the DeNami Design store is the Butterflies in Corner embossing folder. My 15YO daughter ooooo-ed and aaaaaah-ed over this one, so I just had to use it to make her a card. It's a birthday card; well, actually it is her half-birthday card. My sweet thing was born on Christmas Eve. The first few years we celebrated her big day on the actual day, but it was so hard to make it special with Christmas just right around the corner. So starting around her sixth birthday, we asked her if she'd like to celebrate with cake and presents on her half-birthday, so she could spread out the celebrating more. And we've been doing it ever since! So this is the card she'll get from us when we celebrate her half birthday this weekend. My kids' last day of school was Tuesday--June 24!! So celebrating her half birthday is a great way to kick off the summer :) Here's how her half-birthday card turned out:
I used a sweet stamp from the Fancy Flutters set, a sentiment from the Thoughtful Greetings set, a Crystal Lacquer Pearl Pen, and some pink baker's twine.
I think my daughter will love how it turned out!!
Thanks so much for dropping by for a visit today!

Happy half birthday to your daughter!! Bet she loved this adorable card, I do!!
A perfect way to celebrate - ending school the same day! And this card is so bright & cheerful, I just love it :)
Awww...that is so sweet! I love the pretty embossing and the little twine and butterfly are perfect to enhance and not overshadow it.
Happy 1/2 birthday to you sweet daughter! :)
Eeeek! So, so pretty!
Oh wow--what a gorgeous card, Emily! I know your daughter will be thrilled with it! Thinking I "need" that embossing folder! What a great idea to celebrate her 1/2 birthday. It is hard to have a birthday & Christmas close together. My hubby has a Dec. birthday, too.
Very sweet ef and image Emzi! Happy half birthday to your daughter! I see you haven't posted in a while so I am guessing you are off doing your summer travel around the world thing - hope everything is fun and amazing for you all. Hugz!
This is so sweet, Emily! That butterfly embossing folder is cool...never saw it before. You've shown so many new-to-me designs through DeNami. You must have quite a stash! Aren't you GLAD you bought the Big Shot??
