Cards for 1st Birthday

Hi crafty fans!

Today I have a couple little cards to show you.

My great nephew turned 1 and I needed cards to

go with his gifts.
I decided to do small gift enclosure cards rather than

full sized cards.

I stamped this "Lion Balloon Stamp" onto white card stock,

colored it with colored pencils and fussy cut him.
For the grass, I simply cut a piece of green card stock and 

cut small slices into it to make the grass.  
The Happy Birthday was a stamp from my stash.

This card I used Elephant Balloon Stamp and the 

same process as the lion card.  I used 

embossing paste and gold glitter to make the 
"sand" along the bottom.

These were both quick and easy cards to make and

perfect for a 1 yr old.

Thanks for stopping by today and spending a little 

time here.  I hope you will come again soon.

Until then,

keep calm and stamp on!

 

Birthday Cards from Self Challenge

Hello everyone!

My last post was about a self challenge,

this is a continuation of that challenge.

I had these poppy images colored and just

waiting for the right time to use them.

And I found it.

I fussy cut this image with a small white boarder and

adhered it to a blue card base.  

The sentiment was heat embossed with white

embossing powder.

This Happy Birthday sentiment is from a 
Kelly Creates set

The card didn't look complete until I used a 

Uni-ball signo broad white pen 

to add the dash lines around the card.

For the sentiment I used this one from 
Impression Obsession Stamps, but 
I couldn't find it sold anywhere online.

Next I fussy cut this image and made a card with it.

I love the colors on this card and poppies are one of 

my favorite flowers.

Again I use a Happy Birthday sentiment for this card

and the same sentiment inside the card.

I think these were the two easiest cards that I made

while doing this challenge.  What could be easier than 

using a beautiful image that I had already colored?

Thanks for coming by today, I hope you have been 

inspired in some way and will come again soon.

Until then,

use your stash!
