Zoo Birthday

Just a quick post to share with you a card I have recently made for friend at work.  She needed a Birthday card for a 2 year old, so I decided to use the Zoo Babies stamp set.

 

I used some SAB DSP and when you are 2 it is all about fun so the cheeky little monkey just need to jump around a bit.

 

The sentiment is from the Sketched Birthday Stamp Set and has been die cut using the Bitty Banners Framelits Die.  The heart is from the Owl Builder Punch.

 

Here is my card:

 

 

I also decorated the inside of the card:

 

 

 

A quick card but full of fun!

Ribbon & Bows

One of my favourite embellishments is ribbon and then creating bows so I am hosting the new challenge over at Come and Get It for the next week and so I have chosen this as the theme for the challenge:

 

Ribbon & Bows

 

So if you we would love to see you there if you get a chance plus you could win a wonderful prize from our sponsor Stamping Boutique.

 

I have used a Stamping Boutique image called Smoochie and coloured her in with my Copic markers.

 

The layout for my card has been inspired by the current challenge at Sketch and Stash Challenge and I have used some DSP which retired called More Amore.  I just loved the colours in this paper plus there were some die cut hearts in the pack.  I have used about 4 of these hearts to create the border behind the image.

 

I have also used some flowers (non-SU) from my stash and the wonderful retired satin ribbon Pretty in Pink for the ribbon and created two bows.

 

The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the Sketched Birthday stamp set and has been die cut using the Bitty Banners die.

 

I have also used the Scallop Trim Border punch, Large Scallop Edgelits die as well as one of the embossing folders from the Delicate Designs set.

 

Here is my card:

Birthday

Hello and welcome to my post to tell you about the new challenge at Crafty Creations and share my card.

 

We have a fabulous Birthday Theme for the next two weeks and our challenge is sponsored by Beccy’s place.

 

I have created a CAS card and the colours have been inspired by the Cas-ual Friday Challenge which is to use two shades of Grey.

 

The stamp sets I have used are Create A Cupcake & Sketched Birthday. 

 

I have created a border on each piece of cardstock with the Scallop Trim Border punch and the colours I have used for the two shades of Gray are: Basic Gray and Smoke Slate plus I have used Very Vanilla and Crisp Cantaloupe.

 

So here is my card:

 

 

 

In case you cannot see the sentiment clearly enough it reads:

“There’s something fabulous about your birthday (must be you!)”

 

Which I think is a great sentiment for any birthday card.

 

 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

 

Cas-ual Fridays Challenge - #129 Two Shades of Grey & CAS

Craftin Desert Divas Challenge - #26 Birthdays

Craft Your Passion Challenge - #203 Birthday

Flowers

Hello and thanks for visiting!

 

Just a quick post to tell you about about new challenge at Come and Get It and our challenge theme is:

 

Flowers

 

and we have two sponsors Fred She Said and Digi Stamps 4 Joy.

 

I have created a birthday card using the new Spiral Flower Die from the Seasonal Catalogue and I watched a video on Patty Bennett’s blog on how Patty used the die, you can view the link here.

 

Being my first attempt I am happy with the flowers but I need to practice more on getting some smaller buds and also with some other ways to create the flowers maybe different colours and more sanding.

 

The layout of my card has been inspired by the sketch at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

 

Here is my card:

 

 

 

Here is a close up of the flowers which show you the two different cardstock.  I used Raspberry Ripple and Primrose Petals.

 

 

 

I just love flowers so I just love this die and I think it will be used a lot.

 

The sentiment is from the Bloomin with Kindness set and the punch is from the Scallop Trim Border punch.

 

Here is the sketch:
