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!

Valentine's Day Card with Altenew

Some recent life events have caused my mojo to take a back burner.  I barely scraped this Valentine's Day card together for my husband.

I used Altenew's "Be A Lighthouse" stamp set along with Taylored Expressions masking heart stencil to stamp the scene.  Then I used Gina K inks to blend in some color.  Next I used my Polychromos pencils to add color to the lighthouse and landscape.

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.

Have a great day!  Thanks for visiting!

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.

Birthday Card with My Favorite Things - 2017

Mother's Day with Mama Elephant

Here is a simple Mother's Day card using the Mama Elephant "Wild Meadow" stamp set. I stamped the flowers on Neenah Desert Storm cardstock with Versafine.  Then colored them with Faber Castell Polychromos colored pencils.  The sentiment I stamped with Versafine using Concord & 9th's "Perfectly Penned".

Once all the stamping was done, I die cut each piece.  Then glued a sheet of acetate to the top flower portion to create a window.
