Birthday Card with My Favorite Things

 I loved a background that francinevuilleme demonstrated on Insta and I used her technique to create the background for this card.  

I used some holographic cardstock and cut a die cut from My Favorite Things for a simple card.

Birthday Card with Pink & Main

 My mom turns 70 this year!  And she loves turtles.  These Pink & Main turtles were perfect to be part of this shaker card.  I chose to put the sentiment on the inside (which I didn't take a picture of before sending it off).

The stamp set is Turtley Awesome which I colored with Copics along with the Large Circle Burst die from Memory Box.  

Birthday Card with MFT and YNS

 Here is a clean and simple Birthday card using My Favorite Things "Happy Birthday Circle Frame" and Your Next Stamp "Happy Dance"

The circle was cut from some holographic card stock.  For the happy gecko, I used Brusho colors to create a colorful piece that I then stamped him and heat embossed in white.

Birthday Card with Colorado Craft Company

 My dad celebrated his 70th birthday this year.  So I made him this card using stamps from Colorado Craft Company and Hero Arts.

I stamped the cupcake from Colorado Craft Company Friend Cupcake (masking the strawberry) and heat embossed it in white embossing powder.  I colored it using my Polychromos colored pencils.  I stamped and heat embossed the numbers from Hero Arts Number Candles along with the flames and colored those also.  The sentiment from Colorado Craft Company Citrus Berry Cupcake was heat embossed and cut out using the matching die.

Thanks for looking!

Birthday Card with Simon Says Stamp

 

I created this card using Simon Says Stamp "Mom's Meadow".

I stamped the images using Taylored Expressions Oreo ink on Bristol paper and then colored them with my Zig Clean Color Markers.  Once they were dry, I used some Stickles and Nuvo Drops to add some interest.  The sentiment is from the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero May 2020 kit.

Birthday Card with Hero Arts

 My first card making in my new (temporary) home!

My dad's birthday is coming up and I needed something simple since the majority of my supplies are still packed.  I also needed something masculine.  Hero Arts My Monthly Hero to the rescue!

I used a few stamps from the 2020 August kit along with a sentiment from the 2019 July kit.

All were stamped with Hero Arts Intense Black and colored with Polychromos pencils.

All of the the components were stamped or blended with Gina K inks.

Birthday Card with The Stamping Village

Masculine cards are the hardest.  I kept this one simple and the "Happy Birthday" stamp set from The Stamping Village was perfect.

I stamped the balloons in Copic friendly ink and set about coloring each with a range of Blues.  Then I covered each with a layer of Nuvo Crystal Drops in Morning Dew.

Birthday Card with Gina K Mandala Maker

I've had the "Mandala Maker" stamp set from Gina K for a while now and finally got up the courage to attempt a mandala.

I think it turned out pretty well :)

I used the following rainbow colors of Gina K Inks to stamp each piece:  Blue Raspberry, Wild Lilac, Lucky Clover, Wild Dandelion, Tangerine Twist and Red Hot.  The sentiment is from Gina K's "Wreath Builder" stamp set.

Birthday Card with Concord & 9th

While I had the "Hello Lovely" from Concord & 9th stamp set out, I also decided to go a completely different direction for another birthday card.

Here I kept it simple and just heat embossed the image on black cardstock using Hero Art's Purple Sparkle embossing powder.

The sentiment is from Queen & Company and I heat embossed that using some silver embossing powder.  I finished it off with a bit of Wink of Stella on the main flower and called it good.  The picture doesn't show it well, but the purple sparkle embossing powder is quite sparkly!

Birthday Card with Concord & 9th

Hello friends!

Today I am sharing a birthday card that I made for my best friend.

I stamped the large flower bunch from Concord & 9th's "Hello Lovely" stamp set and heat embossed it with Ranger's Rose Gold embossing powder.  Then I colored away with my Polychromos colored pencils.  I added a few sequins and some Wink of Stella and finished it off with a sentiment from Stampin' Up's Wetland's set.

Thanks for stopping by!

Birthday Card with Concord & 9th and Honey Bee Stamps

Here is a colorful birthday card I made using the "Birthday Basics Turnabout" stamp by Concord & 9th along with a cupcake from "Piece of Cake" by Honey Bee Stamps.

After stamping the turnabout stamp with multiple inks from Catherine Pooler, I cut it down using a Stitched Hillside Border from Lawn Fawn.  I adhered that to my card base and then stamped the sentiment. The cupcake was Copic colored then fussy cut and adhered with foam tape.

Pivot Pop-Up Birthday Card with MFT - 2018

My first Pivot Pop-Up Card!

I had to use these cutie "Bitty Bears" from MFT!  And the Pivot Pop-Up is a die set from Lawn Fawn.

I paired the bears with some images from an older Hero Arts My Monthly Hero kit, all colored with Copics.  The inside also has a sentiment from "Birthday Wishes" by Mama Elephant and the "Sprinkles Turnabout" by Concord & 9th.

I should have used heavier cardstock since you can the inside clearly from the outside. Oh well, she still loved it!  And the right side is blank so that I could add in a gift card.

Box Birthday Card with Lawn Fawn & Avery Elle - 2018

A fun card to celebrate a girlfriend's 40th!

I again used the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up to create this card.

Other products used were: "Party Balloons" by Lawn Fawn; "Numbered Balloons" by Avery Elle; "Happy Birthday" by Simon Says Stamp; stamps and dies from "Happy Happy Happy" by Lawn Fawn; and some various images from older Hero Arts My Monthly Hero kits.

The one side flap is blank because I stuck a gift card there.

Box Birthday Card with Mama Elephant - 2018

My first Box Card!

I used the Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up die set from Lawn Fawn along with images from Mama Elephant's "Dragon Wishes" (that I colored with Copics) and fireworks from the July 2018 Hero Arts My Monthly Hero kit.  The sentiment on the back panel is "Make A Wish" by Mama Elephant.

I love these dragons!

Shaker Birthday Card with Hero Arts - 2018

It is so fun making these shaker cards!

Here I used the chili pepper and a sentiment from the April 2018 Hero Arts My Monthly Hero kit.  I stamped the chili peppers repeatedly on my background (some are even mirror stamped for more fun), then I colored them with Copics.

I cut my frame using Taylored Expressions Stitched Frame Stacklets.

The sentiment was heat embossed in white on black cardstock them cut into a flag and adhered to the acetate window.

Birthday Card with Altenew and Inkadinkado - 2018

My dad's birthday is in October so it seemed fitting to make him a fun Halloween inspired card.

Stamps used: "Halloween Trails" by Inkadinkado; "To The Moon" by Altenew; "Lovely as a Tree" by Stampin' Up; "Boo Stamp & Cut" by Hero Arts

First I stamped the moon layers then masked it and blended on Distress Oxides.  With the mask still in place, I splattered a bit of water and Picket Fence white paint on, but I think I went a little overboard.  My husband said my "stars" looked like snow.  Once the background was done, I die cut it with a Distress Edge Rectangle by Kat Scrappiness.  Then stamped and heat embossed the images and the sentiment.

Birthday Card with MFT - 2018

I wanted to make a card for my husband and this stamp set from MFT was perfect!

First I cut my cardstock using the Wonky Stitched Die from Kat Scrappiness.  Then I stamped the candles and sentiment from "Make A Wish" with Versamark and embossed them using Nuvo White Embossing Powder.  I blended on the Distress Inks and then sprinkled on a bit of water for interest.

Birthday Card with Lawn Fawn - 2018

I decided to try out my Wreath Builder from Gina K and made this fun card!

The narwhals, party hats and presents are from Lawn Fawn's "Mermaid for You" and "Party Animal".  The numbers are "Candle Numbers" from Jaded Blossom.  I added pompoms to the party hats that I got from Queen and Company.  Finally I added a few details with a white gel pen and Nuvo Drops.
