Birthday Wishes

This is a card I made from leftover pieces from a previous card.  The base and mats are SU Early Espresso CS, Elegant Soiree DSP, Kraft cardstock and ribbon. The sentiment from Bring on The Cake is stamped in Early Espresso on Very Vanilla, with EE mat, and mounted on a scalloped Kraft circle. The flowers are cut from Kraft CS with the Flower Fusion die and stamped with script background stamp. The small flower is punched from EE with the flower from the Itty Bitty Shapes punch set with a clear rhinestone brad in the center. The leaves are punched using leaf from the Bird Builder punch and MS fern punch in Pear Pizzas & Old Olive CS.

I think that covers everything.  Thanks for stopping by.

Comments are appreciated.

Another Birthday Card

This is another birthday card for one of our great-granddaughters birthday in May. She will be 5 and looks kind of like this sweet Swiss Miss Rosalie by C.C. Designs stamps.  I used Promarkers and PrismaColor Pencils to color the image and add some grass.  I inked around the image with SU Bashful Blue ink while it was still in the oval nestie and mounted it on a scalloped oval.  The DP is from MME Stella & Rose Hazel pad, and is matted with SU Choc. Chip. The card base is SU Crumb Cake (Kraft).  The sentiment is from a MFT Jolinne set matted with Choc. Chip nestie tag and SU Pretty In Pink taffeta ribbon. The roses are by Recollections from Michael's and I added some MS fern punches.

Just For You

This is a card a made for a friend.  All supplies are from Stampin Up.  The card base is Crumb Cake (Kraft), the DSP is Elegant Soiree. The stamp sets are Vintage Vogue and Afterthoughts (a hostess set). I stamped the flowers in Baha Breeze and inked the edges with Crumb Cake ink.  The sentiment is stamped in Soft Suede and behind the image is a swirly image from Vintage Vogue stamped in Crumb Cake but stamped off first. I used 5/16" neutral brads for the flower centers. I angled the Baha Breeze ribbon and punched border for a different effect. I used an antique brad for the center of the bow. I ran the light DSP through my Big Shot with the Square Lattice embossing folder.  I think that about covers it. Hope you like it.

Happy Birthday

This is a BD card I made for our pastor whose birthday is this week. I guess I am like everyone else and find it a little hard to make masculine cards.  I like the frilly, flowers, ribbon, etc.

For the card I used SU Crumb Cake and Naturals White cardstock. The blue CS is some older DCWV paper and the pattern paper is from the Boys to Men pad by Hot Off The Press. The birthday stamp is an older one I picked up at JoAnn's. It is stamped in SU Night of Navy ink. The gold brads are also from JoAnn's.  The white panel is embossed with SU Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.  I used my paper crimper on the Crumb Cake strip and added the rick rac piece cut from SU Tasteful Trims die.

My card is based on Inkspirations Sketch Challenge #53 (http://inkspirations-challenges.blogspot.com/) and I am entering it in Jeanie's (http://thespottedchick.blogspot.com/) "That's Krafty Thursday" challenge.

Birthday Balloons

Another birthday card for one of my granddaughters.  We have 4 birthdays next week, 2 great-granddaughters, 1 granddaughter, and 1 daughter (Jan. 10, 11, 14, & 16th). Then a son's BD on the 29th.
O.K. this card is for one of the great-granddaughters. Jolinne (from My Favorite Things stamps) kind of favors my GD.  This card is also for Jeanie's "That's Krafty Thursday".  The base is Crumb Cake (Kraft) by SU, pink CS is by DCWV and the patterened paper is some older Hot Off The Press paper.  I stamped the balloons on the DSP and cut them out and adhered them with some dimensionals after cutting the image out with an oval nestie. I colored the image with my Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol and then mounted it on a large scalloped oval nestie which is adhered with dimensionals.  The pink ribbon is by Offray.
Two more cards to go. 
Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek.

Welcome Christmas

Another Christmas card done and I like the way this one turned out too.  Base is Crumb Cake CS stamped with the snowflakes from the Snow Swirled set and the spots from French Foliage in Whisper White craft ink. The designer paper is from the Jolly Holiday pack and the bottom corners are punched witht the Ticket Corner punch.   The stamped sentiment is from Welcome Christmas set stamped on Very Vanilla CS and matted with Cherry Cobler CS.  The ribbon is Old Olive 5/8' grosgrain and an Antique Brad on the bow.

This is also for Jeanie's That's Krafty Thursday challenge on The Spotted Chick blog.
