Birthday News

This is a card I made for my grandson.  He's going to be 20 this month.  Wow! How time flies!

I know the card is a little childish, but these characters are so cute, reading the paper and all.

I used the sketch by Splitcoast Stampers # SC1117.

The stamp set I used is by Gerda Steiner Designs called What's New?  I used the cat and dog. (It comes with a little mouse too.)

The background paper is Mediterranean Basics by Paper Rose.  I used two different die sets by Impression Obsession to do the hills and grass.  One is Grass Border Set and the other is Hill Landscape Layers.

Happy Birthday sentiment is from the Honey Bee Stamps stamp set called To The Wise One.

The enamel dots are from My Mind's Eye: Bliss. 

Graduation Owls

Here is a graduation card that I made for my great niece.  I used her school colors, black and gold.

I'm entering this card into the Double Trouble challenge #217 and the Graduation Raffle / Green Ticket.

Congratulations Double Trouble on your 8th Anniversary!

The background paper and strip of paper is from a paper pad by Echo Park called Graduation.

The cute little graduation owls are from a stamp set by Pink & Main called Way to Go Owl.  

The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

Tools and More Tools

I'm submitting this card in two challenges.  Try A Sketch On Tuesday TSOT #696 and Double Trouble Challenge #217.  This is a Father's Day card so it will go into the blue raffle for Father's Day/Masculine.

The background paper is Free Bird by Authentique.  I used Reversed Banner dies by Fun Stampers Journey and the tools are from Paper Rose: Tool Set 1 and 2.  The sentiment is from a Honey Bee Stamps stamp set called One of the Guys.

Gears For You

It's been a while, but I finally got around to one of the Splitcoast Stampers Sketch Challenge.  This is SC1116.

The embossing folder I used is Steam Punk Gears by Darice.  I backed it with a piece of gold cardstock.  I also backed the oval with gold cardstock.  I stamped the top oval with an older cling stamp by Deep Red called Cogs & Gears.  I added some enamel dots and a sentiment to complete the card.

Gears for Father's Day

The month of June is right around the corner and it is time to start making Father's Day cards.  Here is my first one using FMS #738.  

The background paper is from a Honey Bee Stamps paper pad called Pinstripes & Polka Dots: Outdoors.

I used a die by Memory Box called Ring Stack and placed on the top of it gears by Paper Rose: Cogs, making them interlocking.

The sentiment is by a Honey Bee Stamps stamp set called Hooked On You.

Gear Up

I'm playing along with The Paper Players challenge PP787 today.  I like this sketch and it came together quickly.

I was going to turn this into a Father's Day card, but this sentiment just jumped out at me.

The background paper is from Plant Lady by Echo Park.

I embossed a piece of blue cardstock with Replacements embossing folder by Couture Creations.

I added a few gears from a die set by Paper Rose called Cogs.

The sentiment is Gear Up from Honey Bee Stamps. 

Birthday Card for Mom

This card is a birthday card for my mother and not related to a sketch of any kind.  Her birthday is the 28th of this month and I wanted to do something different.  I do like the way it came out.  It got mailed a little late, but I think she will love it when she gets it. 💕

I stamped all around a piece of white cardstock using Sweet Ginkgo, a stamp set by Altenew.  I used two different types of green ink to stamp the leaves.  New Sprout and Bamboo Leaves, both by Memento.  Then I die cut Ginko leaves from a die set by Paper Rose rightly called Ginko Leaves using two different colors of green cardstock and attached them onto the white cardstock.  I backed that up with a piece of light green cardstock.

The greeting on the front is from two different Waffle Flower stamp sets.  The Happy Birthday to you is from Birthday Wishes and the word Mom is from Feather More.

                                                    

 

The inside greeting is again from two different stamp sets.  The word Mom is from an Altenew stamp set called Best Mom. The other two sentiments are from a Waffle Flower stamp set called Inside Sentiments Birthday 2.

I stamped a few Ginkgo leaves from the same Altenew stamp set onto the bottom and attached it to another piece of light green cardstock.
