January 2022 Birthday Card Swap with Concord & 9th

 Hello friends, I know I am a month late in posting but I wanted to share this cute card with you anyway! 

The theme for January in my card swap group was to make Birthday cards and I have quite a bit of  Birthday themed stamp sets and dies to choose from so I pulled a bunch of them out and made myself pick only one set to work with and I chose the "Make a Wish" set from Concord and 9th. 

I love the bright colors I picked out from my scrap stash of cardstock so I don't know what brands I used, but the card panel is Neenah Solar White Classic Crest 80# and the black cardstock base is Bazzill Black Licorice.

I stamped the greeting with Lawn Fawn Jet Black Premium ink.

After I die cut all of the candles and glued the layers together, I adhered them to the card panel with foam tape to give it some dimension.  

I kept the card pretty clean and simple so that I could easily make multiples for my card swap group. 

Thank you for visiting today! 

Have a wonderful and creative day! 

Rainbow Candles Clean and Simple Birthday Card

Hello! I hope you are all having a wonderful day today! I am sharing a clean and simple Birthday card with you today, that I think would be great to give to just about anyone. I ended up giving this card to my Dad earlier this summer for his 70th Birthday! I couldn't resist using this stamp set for his card just to add this sentiment to it! I love the sentiments in this stamp set they all make me laugh!

Supplies used: 

The stamp set is "Birthday Borders" from Simon Says Stamp with coordinating dies, stamped in Versamark Onyx Black ink

I colored in the candles with Promarkers 

I die-cut 2 white panels from 80# Neenah Solar White cardstock with Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Rectangle dies one of them is inside the card to make it easier to write the message to the recipient

Mounting foam was used to adhere the candles and I used my ATG gun to adhere the panel onto a Bazzill Licorice Twist card base.  

Thank you for visiting with me today! 

Have a great day and happy crafting! 

Have a Magical day!-Birthday card

Good day everyone! I have the cutest custom design Birthday card to share with you! The adorable little girl who recieved this card loves the color pink, unicorns, and sparkles; so that's what I made for her! I hope she liked it!

The background and the card base are on Neenah Classic Crest solor white cardstock. I cut out some hills with post it notes and used them for masks to blend some Tumbled Glass and Broken China Distress inks for the sky and then some Stampin Up Green Galore ink for the hills and grass. I thought the Lawn Fawn Spring Showers die set would go well with the background so I cut the sun out of some yellow cardstock and the clouds from some white scraps. I inked the edges on them to add a little extra color, and added some Wink of Stella to the sun.

I used the "Be a Unicorn" stamp set from Avery Elle for the unicorn and the sentiment. Lawn Fawn's Jet Black ink and my Misti were used for the stamping. The unicorn was stamped on Strathmore watercolor paper and I used some old watercolor paints (that I am trying to use up so that I can get me some really nice ones) to paint a bright pink mane on that cute little unicorn. My paint brushes are from the Silver Brush company the black velvet line in sizes 2 and 6. I added some stickles to the horn for an added touch of sparkle.

The outside edge of the card base was distressed with Picked Raspberry distress ink to match the unicorn. I adhered the panel to the base with my ATG gun, popped up the Unicorn, sun and clouds with some foam adhesive, added a few sequins from Pretty Pink Posh for the final touches and there you have a super cute card for a super cute little girl!

  

Thank you for visiting me today, hope you have a wonderful day! Happy Crafting!

Birthday Card Set

Hello everyone, today I am sharing a project I made for my Card swap group. This month's theme is Birthday.  We were supposed to make a card and tag for this. We also started to use sketches each month to change things up a bit.
I don't know about you guys but I like to coordinate things together. So I ended up making my tag to match my card and I went ahead and made a matching envelope also.  I love the colors and had a great time creating this set, I hope you like it too!

Supplies:

Stamp & die set from Sizzix-Lori Whitlock

SSS Christmas 3x4 stamp set

SSS Happy & Smile stamp set

Memento Tuxedo Black ink and marker

SSS Audrey Blue ink

I used my MISTI for all of my stamping

 I stamped the sentiment for the card using Versamark and then heat embossed it using Stampendous Marcasite embossing powder.

SSS Nested Circles dies

My Cuttlebug was used for all the die cutting

SU 2 3/8 scallop punch and also the 1 1/4 scallop punch

I colored in the images with EK Success colored pencils

I used my ATG to adhere everything except I used the 3M Mounting Foam tape on the party hat and the small scallop circle on the tag.

I used the Zig two way glue pen to add some Crystal Art Glitter to the hat for an added bit of sparkle.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, I hope I helped inspire you in some way.

Happy Crafting!

January Card Swap-"Sprinkled with Fun!"

Good day to you all, I have a card to share with you today. I am meeting with my card swap group on Wed. and our theme for the month of January was Birthday cards.  I love it because my Birthday is in January on the 19th to be exact.  

I made my card with my new Christmas present a Cricut Explore Air! I am still learning all the tricks to it, but it has been fun so far.  

This picture shows both the outside and inside of my cards. I don't normally put anything on the inside so that the ladies I swap with can put what they want inside when they give it to someone. But the outside doesn't actually say "Happy Birthday" so I wanted to put it inside. 

I used the Sweet Treats Cricut cartridge for the sentiment and the cupcake is from the

 Once Upon a Princess cartridge.   I used Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers, and Spiced Marmalade Distress Inks for all of the shading on my paper.   The background is from a We R Memory Keepers Chevron Embossing folder that I used in my Cuttlebug.  I used my ATG Gun and the Tombow Mono Multi Glue for adhesive except for the cupcake which is popped up with some Mounting Foam.  I used Multi Medium Matte to adhere the sequins that came from Pretty Pink Posh.  To add some shimmer I used the Clear Wink of Stella brush pen on the words and cupcake. I also used some Diamond Stickles on the cupcake sprinkles. 

Here are some close-ups of the front of my card and the inside sentiment. 

Thank you so much for taking a look at my work. I hope you like it and that it inspires you to create some fun Birthday cards to share also. 

Happy Crafting!

Happy Birthday Janae!

My oldest daughter's friend just had her 16th Birthday a couple of days ago, so we made a fun Gift Card holder with her favorite colors. Inside we got her a gift card to the movie theater so she can join us next time we go! 

I just love making things like this for people I know and love. Her reaction was so fun, and I think her mom's reaction was even better!  We just need to decide what movie we want to go and see.

Challenge # 91 at My Craft Spot

Wow two posts in one day!  I had to hurry and post this in time for the challenge over at My Craft Spot.  You had to make something using embossing or glossy accents.  I made another gift card/money holder only this one is for a Birthday!  I will be making a lot of these because I am planning on selling them at a local fair where I do a booth about every other year.  I will post some of my creations as I am getting my inventory made.  This one ended up fitting the theme for this challenge so I decided to share it and enter to win.  Here it is:

Stamps are from Stampin' Up and ink was Momento Tuxedo Black

I used black embossing powder from Stampendous on the stripes

"Birthday" was colored with Pro markers and then covered with glossy accents.

I used a black marker for the foe stitching.

I kept it really simple and love the look!

Thanks for visiting!

More Punny-licious Birhday cards!

I realized I need to catch up on showing you guys cards that I have made for my card swap.  The one I will show you today is when we had to make a birthday card.  I wanted to use the More Punny-licious stamp set from My Pink Stamper, I couldn't decide between using "Hippo Birthday" or "Snappy Birthday" so I ended up doing both.  I really like how each of them turned out too.  I used the same basic layout for each card but changed the colors and paper.

For the "Hippo Birthday" card I used Create a Critter for my hippo, ribbon and ink from Stampin Up, Stickles, Patterned paper from Imaginisce, my Cuttelbug-swiss dots folder, and the stamp from MPS-More Punnylicious stamp set. 

For my "Snappy Birthday" card I used the turtle from Create a Critter cartridge, paper from SEI, ribbon from my stash, Cuttlebug-swiss dots folder, ink from Stampin Up, stamp from MPS-More Punnylicious stamp set; I used some clear embossing powder from Stampendous to bring out the watermark effect a little more.

I hope you all like what you see and are inspired to create something for someone else. 

Thank you for taking a look and let me know what you think.
