Birthday Card

I'm doing really well at staying ahead on my card making!!...This card is for my Daughter-in-law...

Here's a close-up of the panel:

Please excuse my photography skills...I'm still learning!!

The stamp set I used for the focal image is from Hero Arts Delicate Blossoms...I think those flowers are so pretty!!...I stamped on Kraft cardstock with Tuxedo Black Momentos ink and colored the image with Copic markers...B05 for the flowers and G21 for the stems...I stamped and colored them twice...The second set I cut out and then ran a black marker around the edges...popped them up with pop dots...and then added some Stickles to the flowers...I really like how they turned out!!

I used Spellbinders Label 13 for the focal image...the blue cardstock is from Gina K Designs...

The PP I used is from sei's Poppy collection...I used a border punch and a piece of Bazzill cardstock and made a little border...the ribbon and button are from my stash...for the birthday greeting on the right side...I adhered a small piece of mesh to the cardstock and sponged some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink over the  top...I removed the mesh and revealed a lovely little background area to stamp "Happy Birthday" on...

Here is the inside of the card:

I backed the image panel with another piece of PP and stamped "Celebrate, it's Your day"...the sentiment stamps are from a CardMaker's kit club...the card is finished!!

I think my Daughter-in-law with like it!!

Have a great day!!

HI!

Wow, its been along time since I have posted anything! We bought a house and moved, AGAIN!

Twice in one year is more than enough for me!

I have been getting my "Crap Room" set up the way I want, still a way to go before I have it like I want!

I have worked on several projects, but I forgot to take pictures of some of them. I did bling up my ATC gun. I got tired of looking at the drab yellow color so I decided to paint it and add some rub-ons. It is far from perfect, my first attempt at using spray paint, but I think it is a lot cuter than it was!

I forgot to crop my pictures so you get to see my messy table!

Here is a card I made for my mom's birthday, I remembered to crop these ones, LOL!

I am working on a set of cards for my Aunt for her birthday. I will try to remember to take pictures before I mail them!

I am so enjoying getting back into my crafting! I have really missed the outlet. My only problem now is that my puter is in the dining room instead of my crap room. I will figure it out. I miss having my puter right there with my while I am scrapping, or making a card, or doing whatever.

Well that is enough chatter for one day!

Have a great day!

Mother's Day & Birthday Day Cards

I am ahead of the game this month!  I have both of my Mother's Day cards finished and my Sweeties' dad's birthday card finished!  I have my son's birthday card started and should have it finished tomorrow!  Woo Hoo!  I am usually finishing my cards at the last minute, for some reason, this month I seem to have oodles of extra time, or maybe it is extra energy...lol...so here they are!

I have repurposed this card again.  It is the third time I have posted it, but have made changes everytime.  It is now my Sweetie's mom's Mother's Day card.

I added the word "Mom" to the front using DCWV rubons.  On the inside I stamped a phrase inside of a frame on the top and "Happy Mother's Day" on the bottom.

Here is the birthday card I made for my Sweetie's dad.  He is really into hunting and I have such a hard time with masculine cards.  I had some stickers that I hoped I could make work for a card without it looking like a sticker sneeze...lol!  I think it turned out okay.  

I first tried some patterned paper that looked like grass, but it looked ginormous compared to the stickers, so I thought I would try to make my own.  I used four different colors of ink, two browns and two greens and used a dauber to pounce it onto cardstock.  When I thought it looked okay I took several different colors of colored pencils and tried to make a grass pattern.  It didn't show up in the photo to well, but that was my technique...lol!

Some of the stickers are popped up on dimensionals.  I wanted it to look like the deer was walking out of some trees and startled the ducks.  For the tree on the left, I had two of them so I layered one on top of the other.  The middle tree is stuck to the cardstock and the tree on the right is popped up on dimensionals to make it look like the deer is hiding behind it.  The deer is popped up on dimensionals to make it look like he is standing in front of one tree and behind the other.  Two of the ducks and two of the clouds are also popped up on dimensionals.

For the inside I used a 4" x 6" sheet from a mat stack by DCWV, cut it down to size, tied a ribbon around it and that side was done.  I mounted a piece of cardstock to the other side and stamped Happy Birthday on it.  I added the word "Dad" using some flocked sticker letters from my stash.  I also cut two strips of patterned paper from the other side, inked the edges, added brads to each end and popped it up on dimensionals.

That is all for tonight!  Have a great night!
