I designed and created this very special birthday card for my friend and teacher Klo, who has taught me so much about the Pazzles Inspiration software for my Pazzles "Inspiration Creative Cutter". Her birthday was November 13th! Another very good friend and fellow Pazzles Design Team Member, Sue Reynolds, just recently designed a new Pen Tool that can be used with my Inspiration, that can hold many different sized pens and for this card, I used her pen tool with a Quickie Glue Pen to made the "lattice" panel. You can also use a PaperMate EraserMate pen to do this, as the ink will stay wet and the EraserMate pen fits just fine in the Pazzles Pen Tool. After I removed the panel from my Pazzles "Inspiration Creative Cutter" I covered the "lattice" lines with silver embossing powder and heat set it with my "Heat It" craft tool. I also used the same technique for make the silver lines around the bottom card panel...I wanted it to have the look of "peel-off" stickers, so I'm going to call it "Faux Peel Offs". In addition I used the very same technique for the "sentiment" and the "46", but I added some crystal stickles to the "46". I topped it all off with a bow made with my Bow Easy....love that little tool!!!
Wow...WOW...WOWWWWW! That is just beautiful!! I think you are the card QUEEN! That is just beautiful. Gosh, now I am going to have to get one of them little tools and try my hand at that whole glue pen/embossing thing! Absolutely FABULOUS! Klo is a lucky girl to get such a card. She must be truly "CARD WORTHY"!

What beautiful card and a fantastic idea. I never thought about using a glue pen in my Pazzles. I'll definitely have to try that one! Thanks for the idea!!
