My Favorite Things - Upsy Daisy Birthday Card

Hi Everyone! This month is one of those months where I have quite a few birthday cards to make. I like to take the recipients personality into account when creating them a card, so I knew this card would have to be bright and full of sparkle. I used MFT's Upsy Daisy die set to create the flowers and petals and SSS Wishing Die and Sending and Wishing Stamp set for the sentiment. There's quite a bit of Wink of Stella on the card as well and I couldn't forget the sequins to give it that extra special sparkle. A bright and cheery birthday card is sure to make anyone smile and feel special on their birthday. Enjoy!

    

    

    

    

  

Tim Holtz - Birthday Blueprint

Hi Everyone! I created this birthday card for my brother using a ton of supplies from Tim Holtz. I thought the blueprint balloon was something I could easily use to create a masculine card. I first started out with a stencil and texture paste to create the background.  When that dried, I added distress inks and used my spritzer to create the water drops on the card. I stamped out the blueprint balloon on watercolor paper and used distress markers to color the image. I added some burlap to the card and distressed the edges with distress inks and added the Happy Birthday sentiment to the center. I really enjoy stepping out of my comfort zone once in a while. I think maybe I should do it more often. Enjoy!

    

    

    

    

MFT Stamps - Harvest Mouse with An Entirely Different Theme

Hi Everyone! As promised, in yesterday's post, I told you I would create another card using MFT's Harvest Mouse stamp set with an entirely different theme. Again, I did some masking to create a scene where one mouse is giving a bouquet of flowers to another mouse. Who wouldn't be willing to forgive someone after receiving a card with these two cuties on the front. It's so adorable and just makes you smile. Enjoy!

MFT - Harvest Mouse

Hi Everyone! Today I created a cute scene with MFT's Harvest Mouse stamp set. I don't think there's anything cuter than these mice. One thing I love about this stamp set is that there are so many individual stamps that enable you to create a scene. The fall leaves, pumpkins, apples and so much more make the possibilities endless. These cuties aren't just for fall, see my post tomorrow for a cute card made with this same stamp set but an entirely different theme. Enjoy!
