Happy 21st Birthday

This card I have made for my son who will be turning 21 next week. I really liked Shawna's card from the DT at The Male Room that I just had to case it with my twist to her card. I die cut some hexagons out of 3 different colours then arranged them so that some were off the page, stamped a birthday sentiment and added a die cut 21. A nice simple but effective card for my baby who will be 21 soon...where have the years gone???

I am adding my card to the following challenges:

The Male Room: TMR#62 - Off the Edge

Star in my Pocket: Make it for a Man

Craft Rocket Challenge: For the Men/Boys

Have a great week, 

  

Floral Spray

I made this background a while ago using photo paper and DI's. I love this colour combo as I find it is so fresh. I used a floral spray stamp that I love but haven't really used very much, I love that there is a lot of image but it's not too 'in your face'. I die cut a 'happy' in white & black card and mounted them just off centre from each other and added a small 'birthday' underneath.

Pretty in Pink

Well it's been a while since I've had a play day in my craft room and thank goodness it was a very creative one as I had 3 birthday cards to make. My first one is for my SIL, I saw a beautiful card that Erum made for Altenew, which I have cased view card here. I absolutely adore Erum's colour pallet but I chose to go with a soft pink. I am adding my card to the following challenges...

Christmas in the Hills

My last card for my stamping Saturday, I painted this background with watery Distress Inks using a paper mask to make my hills. I then used a pine tree to create some interest to my scene. I then double cut my sentiment and off set the layers so it looks like snow on the sentiment as well. As you can see, the grass is starting to poke through as the snow melts which works beautifully with the latest prompt from CASology.

Mr & Mrs

The third card on my list of cards to make today...this one is for my cousin and her soon to be husband. I have part embossed my card then popdotted some flowers randomly of the embossing. I also scored the edge of the embossing just to neaten the edge and finished if off with some blue pearls (the colour of her bridesmaid) and put a small sentiment in the bottom corner.

Starry Birthday

Another 21st Birthday card but this time I didn't add a 21. I die cut the 'happy' and the stars then filled the cut outs with glittery DP cut from the same dies. I then stamped 'birthday' underneath to finish it off. I'm adding my card to the following challenges...

Woodgrain Birthday

It's good to be at my desk for a play day and as it so happens I have a list of cards that I need to make and this is my first card for the day. I have used some of my DP stash for my woodgrain background which I die cut the Happy Birthday out of. I also cut the top off to just give it a little something else, then I mounted a 21 to finish it off. No stamping today but that happens some days. Thanks for stopping in, I'm adding my card to the following challenges...

The Male Room: Stash - Use Wood

Watercooler Wednesday: Masculine Anything Goes

Seasons Greetings

Hi All, my card today was nice and easy...I decided to use some of my DP that is sitting there collecting dust and as it says it all, I just added my sentiment with a die cut banner and stamped sentiment. I like these sort of Christmas cards, nice, easy and quick. Thanks for taking a peek....I'm adding my card to the following challenges:

Joy to the World

My first Christmas card for 2017! For todays card I have used a stamp I haven't used in a long time and actually clear embossed it! I don't tend to emboss as much as I used to...I then die cut my joy and stamped the rest of the sentiment, edged my card with a cuttlebug embossing folder and added some dots to finish. I am adding my card to the following challenges...

Hello

Hi Stampers, just realised I have forgotten to post my card for the January's card swap for The Card Chain Challenge. This is the card I sent Sara in Missouri...nice colours and I just love using that embossing folder that I have used on the white card and adding pearls to it. If you would like to join in with the international card swap, just click on the link and you will get all the details.

Happy Birthday

I finished this card yesterday but haven't had a chance to post it until now...I made this card for a good friend who's birthday is this week and added a bit of black to it as she loves black. Again, I have used a masterboard that I made with assorted distress ink colours. I have had this card laying around for a while so I decided to use it as my background, which meant it influenced the colours I would use other than the black...love using bits of card that I tend to have laying around. I swiped the text panel with DI Antique Linen and stamped some script onto it with the same colour than mounted it on black. Added the little pennants under it, layered my flowers that I cut out in two different colours then mounted the Happy Birthday on top.

I'm adding my card to the following challenges:

Forever Together

Today's card has been made for a young couple who are getting engaged soon. I had made this masterboard a few weeks ago and loved how it turned out so I thought I would use it for the main focal point of my card. I then die cut some hearts and forever which I mounted on a banner, then stamped a small sentiment under it and finished it off with some pearls. I just love the freshness of the colours and hopefully the young couple will to.
