Celebrate You

I made a birthday card for one of my co-workers who celebrated her birthday this week.

There is very little stamping on this card.  It's mostly DP and card stock.  I absolutely love this DP from SU!  It's part of the Good Morning Sunshine collection (retired) and I am about to use it all up.  The stamp, "Celebrate You" is from Stampabilities.  I used the Swiss Dots and Bloom Dots embossing folders from Provo Craft.  The card stock leaf is from K & Co.  The finishing touch is the gemstones added to the flower centers.  Perfect Birthday card for an October birthday!  The colors remind me of Autumn.

Sweet Thing

I actually used a real wood mounted rubber stamp on my card.  No Digi's at all!

The stamp is "Sweet Thing" from Penny Black. I fell in love with this adorable little fairy/angel girl holding a cupcake almost a big as she is. I added Glossy Accents to the cherry, the flower center and her wings.  The sentiment stamp is also from Penny Black. She is all pink & pretty and ready to wish some little girl a very happy birthday.

Celebrate

"July 4 Day"

What a great freebie from Whimsie Doodles!  I found it a little late to use for a 4th of July card, but I think it is also perfect for a July birthday card.  My one and only daughter, Jennifer turns 35 today.  When she was little we always celebrated her birthday at the lake along with sparklers.  This image reminds me of her when she was little.  I kept it simple to showcase the image.

Cardabilities Sketch

Cardabilities

Sketch #58

Here is my take on the sketch...

 It's an All American birthday card!  I needed a July birthday and and being so close to the 4th of July, I went with a red, white and blue theme.  I made my own pinwheel out of a square piece of DP.  It's really easy to do, too!  It started out as a tag and I decided to turn it into a birthday card.

Come on over to Cardabilities and play along with us.  Check all the other designs, too! It's a really fun sketch and we can always use a tag...for gifts or on a card.

Stamps -Three Thoughts (SU!)
Paper - Red Gingham (The Paper Studio), Patriotic Blue Stars (Recollections)
Coloring/Ink - Black ink

Happy Birthday...

I Stamped!!!  Not a lot, but I did stamp.  I have an upcoming birthday at work and needed a birthday card.  It started with the DP, Summer Song Stack from My Mind's Eye and I ran with it from there. My favorite colors, oranges, yellows and greens.  Since it's a birthday card, I wanted the sentiment to be the main focus.  I really like the finished product on this one.

"Birdie Card and Balloon"

This was a fun and cute little digi to create with.  This little birdie is sending some Birthday Wishes to someone special.  I die cut my image "outside the box". so to speak.  I love the aqua blue and red combo.  I used my large scallop scissors...something that I haven't used in a long time.  I came across them when I was cleaning and organizing my craft room.  Remember the days before die cuts and edge punches?  That was really not all that long ago.  I couldn't resist adding a little bling to the sentiment :)

This digi comes with 2 birds, one with the card and one without.

Pansy Birthday

"Love Blooms"

Today, I am featuring a Whipper Snapper stamp that was created by Faith (Designed 2 Delight, designer) that is called, "Love Blooms".  It's a sweet little pot of flowers.  Living in the south, pansies are prevalent all winter long.  I plant mine in the fall and watch them bloom all winter long, but when the hot weather appears, they start fading away.  

I went with the pansy color scheme for my flowers.  I am loving the combo of the gingham paper with the polka dot ribbon and the addition of the eyelet lace border.  The finishing touch was the little felt flower brad. Once the image was colored, the card was pretty quick and easy to put together. 

I made this special little card for one of my favorite Aunts that will be turning 82 on Saturday.  Not being able to celebrate her birthday with her this year, I am sending her a little card and some yummy chocolate goodies.  Who doesn't love a little chocolate on their birthday? 

Challenges:

Birthday Mouse

Good Saturday Morning...

I am the host for the Saturday Challenge today at Delightful Inspiration.

Be a "Die Cut Diva" and get out all those die cuts that you just had to have and get busy creating.  Use at least 2 die cuts and the more the merrier!  If you don't own any die cuts, you can use punches.  Share your creations with us!

"Cupcake Mouse"

This is a great image and includes a girl and a boy mouse plus some sentiments, too!  After coloring, I tried to use as many die cuts as possible.  I ended up using 2 squares, 1 lacey square and 3 circles.  I am never at a lack for using die cuts.  I use my on almost every creation, so I guess you could say that I do get my money's worth out of mine.  I added some chunky glitter to the cupcake icing and popped up the little party hat.  I colored and added red glitter to the number 3.  A great little birthday card for a little boy that is turning 3 tomorrow.

Here is a view of the inside:

**I have a hint for you...I buy most of my embellishments in white or clear and color them to match with my Copics.  I colored the thick white number three with my red marker and then added the glitter.

Recipe:

Stamps - Cupcake Mouse (D2D), Happy2BeCircles (The Stamps of Life). Birthday Greetings (SU!)

"Button Cupcakes"

I couldn't resist working with this sweet cupcake image.  Cupcakes and buttons?...now that is what I call SWEEEET!  Each cute cupcake is topped with a button that I added Glossy accents to create a little shine.  I added some Stardust Glitter pen to the swirls and candle flame for some sparkle.  Faith created a special pack of papers to go with her designs for Whipper Snapper.  I used the purple gingham DP to match my purple and pink cupcakes. I used the birthday EF for the background the cupcakes are place on. A pretty pink crocheted flower and a purple button center accent the white grograin bow.  This is a card for someone special!

"Fore" You

***Note to self...check to make sure preposted post really did post as scheduled!

"AVK Golf - Golf Bag"

I have had this image from Bugaboo ready to be made into a card for some time now.  This was the perfect image for a "guy" card.  The bugaboo images are so cute and so easy to color.  I kept it on the simple side...errr...meaning, no ribbons or frilly anything.  The DP is from the My Mind's Eye Lil' Robots collection, Laser Lines.  The colors of the stripes matched perfectly to my colored image.  I don't know about you but I never pick my DP until after I have colored my image.  Sometimes that can be quite the challenge!  I added a piece of green that was embossed with the Argyle embossing folder.  I used the Tiny Bubbles embossing folder and a circle punch to make some golf balls.  I generated the sentiment on the computer and make it into a little flag.  I have been on a roll lately with "guy" cards.  Maybe I better make a few more while the mojo is flowing.

I even finished off the inside...

Confession to make...this card didn't quite make it on time, so it is getting to it's destination a little late.

Card Makin' Mamas - Happy Birthday
Fabulous Friday Challenge - Color in an Image

Another Pink Birthday

"Rosie Ballerina"

Another pink birthday card.  Here is my very "girly" take on Rosie Ballerina by Whimsy & Stars Studio.  I love gingham and the color pink, so this DP by The Paper Studio was perfect for this image.  I added a strip of DP by American Crafts, I Heart You and a punched strip from the MS, Trellis Deep Edge punch.  I didn't want to cover up the hearts, so I used some sheer white ribbon with the addition of a pink button.  The sentiment is from PTI and embellished with three dimensional heart stickers.  I am working on getting my stash of birthday cards stocked for upcoming birthdays. 

Challenges:

Cupcake & Roses Birthday Wishes

Delightful Inspirations Saturday Challenge

Buttons, Buttons, Buttons...

"Cupcake and Roses"

Who could wish for more on a birthday than a yummy, delicious cupcake and some roses?  Well, I altered the image, "Cupcake and Roses" by D2D and added some felt flowers of some sort, not really roses, but I will take fresh flowers of any variety,  any day of the year.  The challenge was to use at least 3 buttons and I think I surpassed by a couple more.  I do believe that this is the most buttons that I have ever put on a card.  I have had this "Cupcake" DP by The Paper Studio for some time now and that ended up being my inspiration for the pink/brown color combo.  The felt flowers are from SU! and it seems the more I use the more they multiply.  Let's just say that I have gotten my money's worth from that purchase.  The sentiment is from Heidi Grace, stamped with brown ink.  Oh, and lets not forget the chunky, glittery goodness on the icing!

**If you play along with the Delightful Inspiration's Monthly Progressive Challenge, I have some good news for you this week.  It's been quite a busy week for Faith and since there isn't a new image, she is allowing everyone that played along last week to pick an image of their choice.  This week's challenge will be to use any D2D image.  How great is that?? 

Challenges:
Die Cuttin' Divas - Sweet Treats
Top Tip Tuesday - Make it Girlie

Boy Birthday

"Boy Bear"

I have been spoiled by 2 granddaughters and used to making "girly" cards and frilly stuff.  Now that I have a grandson, I need to get in the groove to make "boy" cards and non-frilly stuff.   I have had this darling image by Bugaboo sitting on my workspace colored and waiting to be made into a card.  Yesterday was the day and I tried to keep within the "boy" guidelines...no frilly anything or big fluffy bows.  I think, it all worked out just fine.  Since, I always struggle with birthday cards for boys, this will fit the bill, perfectly.  I used some star paper from the All About Boys stack by DCWV and the Numbers embossing folder by Provo Craft.  The sentiment is a stamp by Heide Grace, punched with the Ticket Corner punch by SU!  A  red star and a blue brad finish off this "boyish" card.
