Happy Birthday Aunt Marilyn

Hello!  I hope you're having a wonderful day.

Today I have a birthday card to show you.

My Aunt Marilyn turned 98 today (Sept. 29th)

She lives in North Carolina and I haven't seen her

for quite some time now.
Covid has changed so much!

I wanted to make her something beautiful

so I used one of my favorite stamp sets.

I stamped "Poppies" from Stacy Stamps

onto white card stock with VersaFine Onyx Black

ink and colored them with my Arteza colored pencils.

I fussy cut them and adhered them to a card base.

The happy birthday sentiment is from 
Lawn Fawn Scripty Words set

also stamped with VersaFine ink.

Since this card was an odd size, I made

an envelope to send it in.
I think she'll be happy to receive a pretty 

card for her birthday.

Thanks for stopping in today,

I hope you'll come again soon.

Until then,

make someone smile.

Unicorn Minnie

Hi all!

The other day I posted a card for my 

great nephew with Darth Vader on it.

Today I'm showing you the card I made for

his sister, Andrea, who is also our Godchild.

Andrea is crazy for unicorns, so I took a picture of

Minnie Mouse, drew it onto a piece of card stock

without her big bow and added a horn instead.

She is adhered with a Wobbler to give her 

some movement.

The sentiment is from 

Big Scripty Words from Lawn Fawn

I thought she turned out really cute and Andrea loved her card.

I think Andrea loved her envelope even more though.

I used a water colored background piece from my stash,

and lettered her name onto it, then adhered it to the 

envelope.  She took the name piece off the envelope 

gave it to her Mom and said she wanted to keep it.

Thanks for stopping by today,  I hope you are inspired in 

some way.  Maybe you'll try doing a little something

on the next envelope you use.

Let me know in the comments if you ever do any

artwork on your envelopes.

Until next time,

think outside the box!

You're How Old?

Good Day Blog Friends!

Today I have a card to show you that I just love.

I wanted to make a card using the 

Crazy Dogs stamp set from Tim Holtz

I chose this one, because I love that surprised look on the 

little guys face.
I stamped it onto water color paper 

with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink and colored him with

Lyra Water Color Crayons

The black card stock had been crumpled,

 spritzed with water and had Perfect Pearls brushed onto it.

It's hard to see the shimmer in the picture, but in real life it has a lot 

of shimmer and shine.

I tore the card stock to mimic the shape of the dog, then 

adhered the dog to it.

The background panel was made using 

alcohol inks on deli paper

that I found in my stash, I adhered it to a piece of 

white card stock.

I stamped the sentiment using an alphabet set

that I have in my stamp collection.

I thought it went perfectly with the look on the dogs face.

The whole panel was then adhered to a black card base.

Inside I stamped the 

"happy birthday" with the

Big Scripty Words

from Lawn Fawn

with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink

onto a color that coordinated with the 

front panel.

I'm glad you stopped by today and hope you'll come again soon.

Until then,

have fun crafting.

Kelsie's Card

Hello!

Today I have a card to show you that my daughter made.

She wanted to make a card for her boyfriend's father

for his birthday.

First she made the striped background with my 

MISTI stamping tool, 

Simon Says Clear Stamps - Basic Stripes

and 

Faded Jeans Distress Ink

She then stamped the cupcakes onto white card stock

with Onyx Black VersaFine Ink

The cupcakes are an old set from Inkadinkado

and I can't find them anywhere to link to.

She fussy cut the cupcakes, adhered them to the 

striped panel with foam tape 

and adhered that to the card base.

Inside she simply stamped 

'happy birthday' 

from 

Lawn Fawn Big Scripty Words

stamp set.

She then made an envelope to go with the card 

using my We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board

I think it turned out great.

We had a nice time and I got to teach her some new things

which I know she will use again for future cards.

Thanks for stopping by,

have a wonderful day

and learn something new.
