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!

Happy Birthday

Hi everyone, just a quick post to share with you my card for our challenge at Come and Get It.

 

 

This week’s theme is Birthdays.

 

 

We have two sponsors Eureka and The Stamping Boutique.

 

I have used an image called Hidden Fairy from the Stamping Boutique and coloured it in with Copic Markers.

 

I have used Chocolate Chip cardstock and ink for the sentiment which is from the Sketched Birthday set.  The paper and the ribbon are from my retired SU stash.

 

The dies used are the Bitty Banners and Labels Collection Dies.  Of course there is some bling!

 

 

 

I have also added some glitter to the fairy’s wings but it maybe a little hard to see in the photo.

Crafty Creations Colour Challenge

 

Hi everyone,

 

We have a new challenge at Crafty Creations for the next two weeks and it is a colour challenge.

 

 

The colours are  Navy and Yellow

 

 

I have created a card using Midnight Muse, Daffodil Delight and Very Vanilla and the layout of my card has been inspired by the current sketch challenge at Paper Crafting Challenges but also with Pearls.

 

I haven’t used butterflies on my cards for a while but I have used them today. They have been die cut using the Beautiful Wings Embosslit die and then layered with a pearl.

 

The sentiment is from the Sketched Birthday stamps set.  The ribbon is from my stash and is retired Daffodil Delight Satin Ribbon which I love.

 

Here is my card:

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:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Copic markers used:

 

Face: E0000,000,00,11

Eyes: B02

Lips: R22

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:
