"Blocks Birthday Girl" handmade card Inside the "Blocks Birthday Girl" handmade card Hey Everyone! I have another birthday card that I completed this past weekend. It is approx 8 1/2 in x 10 1/2 in card. Some of you may remember the jumbo "Twin Vibes"  cards that I created. I wanted to do a girl version of  "Blocks Birthday Boy"  card, and I thought that this was the perfect time to do it.  I created the card for a baby girl who was turning 3.The sign and blocks are all in 3-D. So, they are raised from the rest of the card.                                                                                   Until the next post,                                                                                     Stay blessed :-)                                                                                       R.G.  

This card was definately different for me. It was a lot of fun to create!  "Bumblebee Birthday" Handmade Birthday Card from a distance    "Bumblebee Birthday" Handmade Birthday Card  This design was actually requested by my customer. She wanted the card for a fellow teacher whose classroom had a Bumblebee theme.She wanted Bumblebees, buzzing around flowers in the front. She wanted bees flying around on the inside with her special personalized message. The bees   actually standout from the background. Their wings are a iridescent white. They shimmer and turn colors when the light hits them. We can create your custom card at http://www.ruthiesgreetings.com/ !

Hey Ruthie's Greeting blog readers, You may remember the "Felt Bags"  blog post that I wrote a while ago. I was hired to create a birthday card for a woman's friend who loves fashion. I decided to use a felt flower with a brad. The Ruthie's Greetings Character's hair style was also based on the hair style of the recipient. She is also 3D. So, she stands out from the rest of the card.

Hello Ruthie's Greetings Blog Readers, I will soon be introducing Ruthie's Greetings card tutorials. The first theme will be Valentine's Day. Please stay tuned :-)                    R.G.

"Driving By to Show Some Love" Valentines Day Card for Men Have you ever found yourself walking up and down the aisle searching for a Valentine's Day card for your father, boyfriend, husband, etc? You end up finding a bunch of cards that are red and pink with hearts, and not really designed for your audience. This is why I created the "Driving By Show Some Love" card. Although blue is not considered to be a "Valentine's Day" color, I thought that it would be a good choice for my customer's father. I thought that the hearts in the back of the truck would be a cute way to show love :-) Let me know what you think...

"My Little Valentine " (Pink & blue) edition This card was created for a mom's 8 year old son, to give to his friend. Valentine's Day cards are usually very serious, in that they target adults and highlight love. Traditional Valentine's Day cards are usually pink/ and or red. But I needed the card to represent the innocent love between children, So, I decided to make the card pink and blue to trace back to babies when they are born. Many of us dress them in blue if it is a boy, and pink if it is a girl. Here, I decided to stage two children playing ball. The little bugs give it more of a "kid feel". I think the heart in the middle capitalizes on the fact that this is a Valentine's Day card. My customer loved the fact that this card was personalized and a non-tradtional Valentine's Day card.
