Here's another birthday card

 Greetings friends, and welcome!

I'm still working on replenishing my

stash of birthday cards. Here's one

I just created:

I went a little more dramatic and used black cardstock with this

cool faux holographic paper. I had this image already colored,

just waiting to be used. Today was the day!

Here's the finished inside, using another

sentiment from the set:

These gnomes are just so cute!

Thanks for visiting, and happy Leap Day!

I moose wish you a Happy Birthday!

 Hello crafty friends and welcome!

I'm back with a cute card that features

this adorable moose:

Squeeee! Just look at how cute he is!!!

He's colored with Spectrum Noir markers, and I used cardstock and some

green/blue papers from an older paper collection to die cut the

grass and one of the trees.

A simple sentiment on the inside finishes my card.

Thank you for stopping by and visiting! I hope you have

a great rest of your day.

Flowery heart birthday card

 Hello and happy Friday to you!

I have a card to share today.

I caved and created something with

a heart on it.

I do not do Valentine's Day, so

this is a birthday card.

When I cut the heart out at first, it didn't cut all the

way through the cardstock, so I cut it again using a shim.

I used a few Distress Oxides to color the heart, then

glued it to the first heart. (I didn't want to waste it!)

Some paper scraps, rhinestones and a die cut sentiment

finish the front.

I really need to use this heart die more. It's fun to blend

colors on it, and I can see so many color combos to try. 😊

That's it for now. Thanks for visiting, and I hope 

that you have a great day!

It's time to shell-ebrate!

 Hi there! I'm back with another post today. 😊

There's been some really great card sketches

in blogland recently, and I wanted to 

play along with some of them.

Here's a tropical inspired card:

I adore this seashell image and had to color it up again. I used kraft ink

to blend over the nautilus stencil on the back panel, and a blue tone on 

tone wave stencil on the smaller panel. 

All it needed were a few pearls to complete.

Here's the finished inside:

Well, the fur baby is letting me know he wants a walk, so I shall be off.

Thanks for visiting. Have a great day!

 Good morning and welcome!

My goal is to make more Christmas cards throughout 

the year, so I've created this pretty one:

Very white on white, sparkly goodness.

(Although the white glittery cardstock used on the three panels

looks more gray than white. Who knew that there were sooo

many different shades of white cardstock?)

You'd think stamping the one-word sentiment would have been

a piece of cake, but no. I found out that my silver ink pad was

dried up. I stamped it in platinum ink, but it had more of a golden

tint than silver. So I stamped over it in gray ink. Much better.

Then, I was afraid it would smudge, so I stamped over it again

in versamark and clear heat embossed it.

(over thinking much?)

Another sentiment finishes the inside:

That's one more holiday card in the books. Yay!

Thanks for visiting. I hope you have a relaxing day!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #247 W is for Winter

 

Hello and welcome back, snarky friends!

It's time for the new challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

WINTER is the theme this month. However you

interpret that, let's see it!

Here's what I came up with:

I made a mini slim card this time around. I haven't used these doggies in

a while, so it was time. I did some mirror stamping with the husky to have

him facing the other way, then colored them up with 

a mix of Spectrum Noir and Copic markers.

The sentiments are computer generated.

I hope that you'll find some time this month to play along in

our Winter challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

For more ideas do check out what my sisters have created for

your viewing pleasure!

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you have a wonderful day!
