A Riley Birthday Card

Here's a card I made recently for a very dear friend of mine. It is a 6x6 card made using the Animal Cookies paper from CTMH. The image is colored with Copic markers. The edges are hand-stitched using blue embroidery thread. Can't help but love these Riley stamps!!!

Riley Calendar

As promised yesterday, I want to share with you a gift I made for one of our retiring teachers. She loves the Riley stamps almost as much as I do, so I had no choice but to make her something with Rileys. I decided to make a perpetual calendar for her to keep track of birthdays, anniversaries, etc. I used a CTMH Display Album. I am only going to share photos of the front side of each page for each month. The opposite side was a page I made on the computer with the days of the month and room for her to write events. I used all CTMH paper for this project.

Easel Card

This was a card I made a few weeks ago for one of our retiring teachers. She loves Riley stamps (who can blame her) so I knew I had to make her a Riley card. This easel card stands up and can be displayed after being given to the recipient. I used CTMH Animal Cookies paper, Stickease, Cranberry Grosgrain Ribbon, and Dimensional Elements on this card. As usual, Riley was colored with Copic markers. Needless to say, it was a huge hit! Stay tuned...tomorrow I will share the gift I made for her. You won't want to miss it!

Riley Thank You Card

Last night I dug out my Riley stamps and made a thank you card for a colleague. Our technology director was a huge help in making the arrangements for me to attend the state technology conference in Hershey last week, so I wanted to make him a card to show my appreciation. I used all CTMH paper and colored the image with my copic markers. It's hard to see on the photo, but I added liquid glass to the computer screen. The card is super-cute in person (of course, I think anything made with a Riley stamp is super-cute!) For more information on Riley stamps, go to the Riley and Company Website.
