Birthday Card Catalog Project: September index card

 Hi there my friends! 

Today I am presenting my September index card for my birthday card catalog.

 I am so excited for this Birthday Card Catalog project. It will help me stay organized with birthday cards all year. I am using Spellbinders new release with Esther Glas. It is a full release with great products that any junk journal fan should love. 

For this project, I cut the base index card. Sprayed it with Distress Mica Stains in fall colors. Attached a "September" tab and cut out an autumn wreath with autumn elements. It is a really easy index card with big and beautiful results. 

I use my studio trash can as a spray box. Nothing gross gets thrown in there to contaminate a project.

Beautiful shimmery results.

Birthday Card Catalog post #3 with Spellbinders

 Hi there friends! 

Today I am sharing another addiction to my Birthday Card Catalog using Spellbinders new release with Esther Glas.

 Today I made the divider for the August birthday cards. I still used the same base card as I do for each person that I send card to but I added a labeled tab at the top. Each month will use things that represent that month and could be derived from birth stones, zodiac, flowers, seasons, holidays, etc. 

Here I chose poppies because that is an August flower. I stenciled the flowers, added some background color and two shades of splatter. 

My style, even in junk journals, is still quite simple but I love color. Junk journals are traditionally made with a distressed vintage style but that isn't always my mood. I love color and sparkle. I just do You will see as the projects progress that I will tend to really lean more towards color and sparkle.

I can now add 2 index cards that I made for 2 people to my August divider as they both have August birthdays.

Spellbinders + Esther Glas release - continued!

 Hi there friends!

Today i am sharing the next card for my birthday card catalog using Spellbinders latest release with Esther Glas. Each person that I made birthday cards for gets one of these index cards. I can make a birthday card for them anytime of the year and file it in the birthday card catalog.

 

My mom loves yellow and loves lemons too so this one was very easy to come together. I used yellow ink on the embossing folder in an uneven swipe. The date of her birthday is colored in a dark pink. Next I stamped and colored lemon from Simon Hurley stamp set.

 Here is the link to my first one I made: Bonnie
