Open Me Already!

These two guys do nothing but make me grin!  I haven’t used them together before, but here they are in all their glory.  Also, I changed up the big monster by turning his closed eyes into eyebrows and giving him some google eyes as well.  Thought that was cute. This kit was a birthday card and I think this one could work for that as well.  But any type of celebration could enjoy a project like…

You Deserve a Happy Birthday!

You Deserve a Happy Birthday!

Here we go with day two of this little seven day adventure.  Use up my extra kits and make them look different.  Some parts I like better than others, but here it is just the same. The background cardstock had some floral stamping from the flower shop stamp set and then was run through the big shot with the lovely lace embossing folder.  The patterns might not have gone the best, but I stuck with…

Balloon Adventures

This is how things look when I am feeling creative, but not sure just which direction to go. No sentiment, hardly a stamp in sight, just pretty flowing color.  That is really so satisfying. This could be for a birthday, but really any celebration would be a good fit.  Balloons are so happy after all. The project began with water color paper being masked to a board and spritzed with water lightly.…

Here's to Another Year Full of Adventures!

Here’s to Another Year Full of Adventures!

That sounds like a perfect theme for the year, doesn’t it?  Well, it also makes one great statement for a birthday card.  I made this card along with yesterday’s project so they definitely go together. I wanted to use both sides of the designer series paper just to see the differences.  The polka dots were a bit more whimsy with this side definitely leaning towards the masculine side. This new…

No One Deserves a Happier Birthday

No One Deserves a Happier Birthday

No one deserves a happier birthday than you.  Wouldn’t you feel special getting a birthday card that said that?  Absolutely!  I tend to make a bigger deal out of other people’s birthday than my own, but don’t we all?  I am trying to build up my birthday card stash, it has seriously been neglected. What a great way to get going again though, right?  This stamp and thinlit bundle is just the best.…

Crazy Cake with Balloon Adventures

Crazy Cake with Balloon Adventures

Birthday cards are just the best!  This totally adorable stamp set builds one great cake, don’t you think?  And this card only shows about half of the stamps.  I love, love, love it! The three bottom layers were done with two stamps.  Good thing they are photopolymer, or totally clear, for super easy placement.  There is no way I would be this patient or exact without great stamps like that.  And…
