Big Game Birthday

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for one of our grandson-in-law’s. Last summer he went big game hunting in Africa and shot a kudu, so I thought what better image to find for his birthday card. Image and background frame were both found online, brown frame is Spellbinders Classic Rectangles. I added the sentiment before printing the patterned frame. I think he’s going to like this.

Happy 7th Birthday

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our great-granddaughter’s birthday just 2 days after Christmas.

Her birthday party invitations are with a Wicked theme so I thought this picture of her when she went to see Wicked would be cute on a birthday card. Frame was found online, and sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program.

Ghost of Halloween Past

Black and Kraft with a bit of white for the ghosts seemed to fit today as I was watching A Christmas Carol with George C Scott. So for my card I found my Newton’s Nook Designs Spooky Roundabout stamp. I inked it in black VersaFine and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I added some white to the ghosts with a Posca pen and die cut a SimonSaysStamp Ghouls and Tree ghost. Sentiment strip is SSS, too. Spellbinder’s scallop and circle dies were used to make my frame. A bit of kraft ink blended on the focal panel then added to another piece of kraft cardstock and finally to a black card base. It is always fun to play along with:

Ms. Snow!

Winter is definitely on the way….our temperatures have been very January-like and a bit of snow is sticking around. For my card today, I pulled out Whimsy Stamps Snowball Friends card fronts which was die cut with a Taylored Expressions Arched stacklet then mounted on a stitched rectangle and on a piece of patterned paper that was on my desk. My favorite snowflakes die and sentiment which were previously cut completes my card. I really seem to be in a pink and green mood lately and I didn’t even see the movie Wicked For Good!!!

I would like to share my card with:

I made a card this week to send to a person recovering from surgery. This is my first post using my Ipad.

Happy Birthday

Hello and welcome. Had to take a break from Christmas cards to make our grandson’s birthday card. I like the red, black & touch of white combo for masculine cards. Red layer was embossed with Cuttlebug’s Happy Birthday ef, die cuts are stitched squares by Die-namics. strips were cut from pp found in my stash. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program and I added clip art candle numbers.

Woodland Santa

I was stuck for ideas for my Christmas cards this year when I came across Whimsy Papers Woodland Santa cardfronts and I was energized to get to work with these amazing images. I know they won’t be for everyone but they really spoke to me. The Santa was die cut using Taylored Expressions Arched Stacklets with a backing layer in green cardstock. The TE Kraft cardstock notecard was stamped in kraft ink with TE’s Fineline Foliage background stamp. The sentiment strip was from my stash and the little holly/berry leaves enamel dots were a TE gift with purchase.

My card will be shared with the following challenges:

Gift of Peace

I was digging deep in my stash to find a Christmas present design when I came across this Hampton Arts Outline mounted red rubber stamp. I decided on green packages with a light blue tissue paper, red bows and gold stars. A few snowflakes were added to fill in the space. The image and patterned paper from my stash were backed with black shimmer cardstock.
