You're 2 Cute

Good morning everyone, I hope you are having a good week.

Today's card is one I made for Jude's granddaughters 2nd birthday yesterday. I used a background paper for a change, this one was a magazine freebie a couple of years ago, but I love the colours and thought the bunting design was cute for a little girl.

For the main image, I cut a scalloped rectangle die from Tonic Studios, and then used a number from a Fancy Pants die cut set, and some cardboard adhesive letters for the sentiment. 

I coloured the letters with Copic Markers to match the background paper and then cut a couple of WPlus9 Balloons from the Whole Lotta Happy set. I did one in a spotty card and the other in plain white card, which I then coloured yellow.

The little pink spotty star balloon is from the Clearly Besotted Laugh Out Loud set, and I gave them all a red twine string for a pop of colour.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

Happy Birthday Fishes

Good morning folks, I hope you are all having a good week.

I thought I would give you a little break from my Christmas cards and show you one of my recent birthday card makes.

A good friend of my son and daughter-in-law, asked for a couple of cards for her dad's 60th birthday and this is one of them.

I used a digi stamp that came with an old version of Complete Cardmaking, as I needed a fishing image and I only have one stamp. Unfortunately I had already used this for the same family earlier this year! lol.  Anyway I really like this little fella, so all is good. 😉

I coloured him with Copic markers and then cut him out with a stitched border frame. Then I added him to an olive green card blank and put some Glossy Accents on parts of his fishing rod and the fishes eye.

Then I made up the sentiment on the PC and printed it to match, then cut it out with an MFT Stitched Banner die. To finish it off I added 60 using green flocked thick numbers.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

Happy birthday to you

Good morning all, today's card was a very simple but fun card to make. 

I used the Lawn Fawn Scripty Sayings stamp set, and stamped the Happy Birthday to you stamp 3 times on to strips of white card.

I used Rosebud Memento Dew Drop ink to stamp with to match the pink card I had chosen. 

The pink card has been in the stash forever, and I finally decided to get it out and use it. It has a very tactile finish to it. You would expect it to be rough but it isn't it's very smooth, almost like suede

I added the stamped strips to the pink background and then made up another strip with stamps from a Molly Moo set that has lots of different words on. I had to cut one of the stamps down as it said Dearest, but as we will probably never use that I didn't mind cutting it down to 'Dear'. 

Then I added some cardboard thickers to spell her name 'Izzy'

I raised this strip up on foam tape to make it stand out, and put it all on a 6 x 6 card blank.

Then I used the eraser part on the end of a pencil to stamp the dots all around the card. I used Rosebud and LuLu Lavender Dew Drop inks to coordinate.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.
