Fall Birthday

Hello! Today I have a Fall Birthday card to show you. Nothing says fall to me like Mums! I'm partial to the rust and/or burgundy colored ones.  I know they have them out at Easter time too but it's just not the same, at least not to me. I prefer Daffodils and Tulips then! Anyway on to my card. It uses a stamp from the former Paper and Such company, the sentiment is from SU. I colored it with my Prismacolor pencils. After mounting my image to the scalloped oval I decided to emboss them together. Love the look/texture this gives. It's kinda hard to see in my picture but I added a rhinestone to the center of the mum. The sketch and challenges I used are listed below. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

It's Your Day

Hello! I've finally made a card using Forrest Guy from Unity. When I was looking thru my box of already colored images to see if I had anything to fit the Green and Brown color challenge I came across this guy! He's colored with Copics and cut out with a wonky stitched rectangle. I
took a few liberty's with the sketch?! I tilted the panel it just looked better that way to me and instead of a bow I added a button. I thought it looked more masculine that way?! Anyway I'm pleased with how it turned out. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day! Challenges are listed below.

Happy Birthday Slugger

Hello! Today I have CAS (for me anyway) card to share with you. When I came across this sketch I immediately thought baseball diamond so I dug through my box of already colored images and found this Penny Black cat. It's colored with a mix of Copics and Prismacolor pencils. I used a stitched die and added little metal embellishments in the corners to kinda make it look like bases. I added a star under the baseball to make it stand out a bit more and to tie in with the star embossing folder I used for the background. Finished it off with a Happy Birthday banner. I kept wanting to add more cause of all the white space but I walked away and left it be! That's it for today thanks so much for stopping by and I plan to be back tomorrow with another card! Challenges are listed below.

Happy Anniversary

Hello! Today's card uses a Penny Black stamp called Warm and Fuzzy! I Love this stamp for Anniversary/Love type cards. I colored it with my Copics and fussy cut it out. I used the sketch below but flipped it to work better with my image. The embossed panel in the back uses a SU folder and I don't remember what it's called? I've been using it a lot this week. Love how it looks. That's it for today thanks so much for stopping by. Challenges are listed below.

Birthday Wishes

Hello! Today I have another cute birthday card to share with you. I'm in need of quite a few more as my stash is low specially "boy" ones. I used an adorable dig stamp from Bugaboo. This was my first time playing with Nuvo drops......lets just say I need a lot more practice! Anyone have any tips I'd be glad to hear them. Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again soon.

Cosmic Newton

Hello! The other week I'd asked a friend if she knew of a stamp/set with an "out of this world" and similar type sentiments. I have these neat "space" type stickers I picked up at the Dollar Tree that I wanted to use to make cards but didn't have any sentiments. That lead to her letting me borrow this adorable Cosmic Newton set and me making this card. There will be "space" sticker cards coming soon too! I've been on a bit of a crafting roll this past few weeks. The challenges I'm entering are listed below. Thanks for stopping by and if all goes to plan I'll be back again tomorrow!

Halloween Kitty

Hello! Today I have a Halloween card to share with you. It uses a digital stamp from Bugaboo called Halloween Kitty. I colored it with my Copic markers. I never bought the drippy goo border punch years ago so i used my icicle punch and tried to round some of the points a bit with my scissors. It sorta gave me the look i was going for?!! Overall I'm happy with how it turned out. Thanks for stoppin by and have a great day!

I added a few rhinestones and called it done! Thanks so much for stopping by and hope t see you again soon!

Think Pink

Hello! I'm back for a 2nd day in a row?!! Today I have a Breast Cancer card for you using a pre colored free digi stamp from Beccy's Place. It's called Floral Bra and is available in both colored and uncolored form. I've been a bit to intimidated to try coloring this one on my own yet! The sentiment and ribbon are from a free set that Amuse put out a few years ago. My "Lace" was to use my MS Doily Lace border punch and then I added a few pearls on top to finish it off. Thanks so much for stopping by!
