Birthday Balloons!

 

Hi everyone!  Just popping in to play along with this month's SFYTT:

I have a LOT of birthdays to celebrate from the end of April through June, so I thought I'd just make a batch of four cards, all the same.  I started with some old patterned paper by American Traditional Designs and added some coordinating cardstock.  To make the focal piece, I pulled out a rubber stamp I found at Goodwill a few years ago but hadn't ever used.  It's a Stampendous stamp from 1993 (!), inked with several different Memento colors.  I've been neglecting my rubber stamps for years, but I've been trying to dust them off- they can still be cute!  :)  The sentiment is Stampin' Up! (I'm not sure of the set though, as someone gave it to me).  I hand drew the balloon strings, and that's pretty much it!  You can see a close up below:

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you enjoyed your Memorial Day and are getting ready for a fabulous summer!

Happy Birthday Pardner!

Hi everyone!  It's been a hundred years since my last post, but I've been focusing most of my energy on my Etsy shop.  I just saw the sketch challenge at The Cat's Pajamas blog, and I thought I'd use it to make my brother's birthday card.  Here's the sketch:

I used some papers from the Birthday Bash collection by Imaginisce and the adorable outlaw penguins from TCP's "It's a Western Thing."  I colored my friends with Copics and added a little gray shadow to ground them:

My cousin's birthday is right around the corner, so I made a similar card with the same stamp and papers:

The inside sentiment reads "happy birthday, pardner!"  LOVE that!  :D  It's so hard (for me) to make masculine cards, but I think I did okay here.  I hope you get a kick out of these guys and thanks so much for stopping by!

Ruff Day?

 


Hi friends!  Just popping in quickly with my take on this month's SFYTT:

I flipped my version to accomodate the orientation of the patterned paper scraps I had.  The image/sentiment are The Cat's Pajamas and I used my Copics to color the dog and his crutch.  The papers are all DCWV Pet Stack.  

I've been focusing my energy on my etsy shop and an upcoming craft fair, so my blog has been neglected lately.  Hopefully when things calm down I can post more regularly.  Thanks for bearing with me!

Bunny Tails

Hi everyone!  My aunt sent me a project via pinterest last week and I knew right away it was going to be my co-workers' Easter treat!  This is the original post:  http://pinterest.com/pin/267471665339367891/

My take on it includes a Paper Smooches bunny and their alphabet set.  I die-cut a grand Nestabilties Label 1 and folded it in half to make the topper.  I added a ribbon slider with sheer purple ribbon and stuck the bunny on with some foam tape.  A little Copic coloring and I was all set!  Here's a close up:

 


I used a 4x6 clear bag to package the donuts- all in all, a very quick and CUTE project!  I hope you get a kick out of these!  :D


Thanks for stopping by!
