Sweet Birthday

by Julie Warner - The Write Stuff

Happy Friday!

I hope your week has gone well and you're getting ready to have some fun on the weekend. When summer starts to roll around, I know I'm going to need a bunch of birthday cards so here's one down.

Love these strawberry images and I couldn't wait to color them! The strawberries were stamped a few times, colored w/ copics, fussy cut then parts layered on top of each other for dimension. The large white bg was embossed and I used the dot border folder for the strip behind the strawberries. Then I colored the top of the dots w/ a red copic marker. The sentiment was split onto the 2 red panels. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!

Supplies:

stamps: Lg Strawberries, Sweet Birthday Greeting

paper: white, red, forest green

ink: Memento tuxedo black

accessories: Spellbinders rectangle, long rectangle & labels 21 dies, Cuttlebug Swiss dots & Just My Type border embossing folders, Copic markers

My Father, My Hero!

What could be more perfect than a shirt and tie card for Dad this Father's Day? I've seen these origami cards in galleries in the past and had to give it a try. I created the card below using this tutorial.

After folding the smooth green cardstock to form the shirt, I used the Argyle Background (438P) and the Argyle Diamond (441A) to create the pattern paper I wanted to use for the tie. Next, I used the tie tutorial to add the argyle tie to the shirt. I stamped the right side of the shirt with the Fathers Big and Small Greeting (873G) and used the "Happy Father's Day" portion of the Father's Day Greeting (782G) for the left side of the shirt. I added 2 white brads to the shirt collar for buttons and then the shirt was then adhered to a 5.5" x 5.5" dark green cardstock base.  I hope Dad like's it! 

Smiles,

Jennifer

Pigs in Mud

Hi Everyone,

 

While my card share for today may be birthday themed, I'm about as happy as a pig in mud due to the nice weather we've had in Ohio.  I know some parts of the U.S. hasn't been as fortunate, but I've taken advantage of the sunshine and got tons of yard work done. Yippee! More time for stamping now ;)

 

Anyway, here are Leonard and Friends in all their muddy glory!  The stamp is named Leonard Pig's Bathtime Buddies.  This and the Hogwash Saying are just perfect for each other.  I stamped the Leonard multiple times to create the background, and before the ink was dry, I took a paper towel and smudged it.  That's what gave it that soft muddy effect. Other than that, I just stamped, colored and die cut the main image.
 

 

 I simply added a few grey buttons to finish off the card and now it's ready for that special someone with a great sense of humor!

 

Thanks for popping in today and you still have time to enter our graduation challenge right here!

Big Deal Birthday

Hi Everyone. Today I have a card that I made for my dad for his birthday. He absolutely loves to play cards, so when I saw this new stamp I knew what his card would say this year!

The Big Deal Birthday greeting was stamped in Memento black ink on white CS, colored with a red copic, die cut and layered on black CS. The 4 Suits Vertical image was stamped in Memento black ink on white CS, colored with copics and layered on black CS. The red panel was embossed with a CB argyle folder and layered on black CS. Red and black gingham ribbon, baker's twine and a black button complete the look.

My dad loved it, by the way!! Thanks for stopping by today.

The challenge this week is Graduation!! You can see details here. We'd love to have you join us.

Until next time,

Slow Moving Moose

Hi all I hope you are enjoying your Sunday. My card today is a masculine card that could be used for a birthday or fathers day.

 I stamped the Vertical Triple Tree with black ink on yellow card and layered it onto black card. I samped the Slow Moving Moose with black ink and airbrushed the sky with a copic marker in Y38. This was layered onto the Triple Tree panel. A Button and embroidery floss was added to the bottom of the card. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.


Have a wonderful day,

Janett

Let the Graduation Parties Begin!

Hello and happy Saturday!  I am bringing a graduation card to you today. I am afraid to count the number of cards that I still need to make!  I find it difficult to make masculine cards, but I love this sea grass...I off stamped it on the Culmination Graduation greeting panel, sponged sahara sand and baja breeze on the image panel and masked for the sun which I then sponged in with crushed curry.  No frills as this will go to a young man graduating from college. 

Have a great Saturday!
