Birthday Card Entry

INSIDE OF CARD

This is a card I created as an entry to a "subbie giveaway" for Maddie, her YouTube channel is mkturner214.  Maddie is celebrating 100+ subscribers!  

Here is the video response I created:

The adorable image you see of all those puppies, is from Whipper Snapper Designs.  I have been wanting to use this stamp for some time now, and this was the perfect opportunity!  I stamped the image using Memento Tuxedo black ink onto X-press it blending card paper, then colored it using Copics.  I cut around my image and placed it onto the card using dimensionals.  The designer paper I used is from Basic Grey Shine On Collection (both 6"x 6" and 12" x 12") paper pads.  I used several die cuts from several different companies.  The sun was cut using a die cut from Lil' Inkers Designs, the picket fence is a die from My Favorite Things, the grass die is from Taylored Expressions and last but not least, the small hills are cut using a Papertrey Ink die - In the Meadow.

The larger of the speech bubbles were cut out of the 12" x 12" Basic Grey Shine On paper pad, and the small red square speech bubble was cut from the 6" x 6" Basic Grey paper pad.  The sentiments I used came from several stamp sets.  I added dimensionals to a few of the speech bubbles, so that they would stand out.

For the inside of the card, I used the Sizzix Pop 'n Cuts Base and Insert (card, Horizontal A2 w/circle label 3D) (Pop-up).  The posts were using the Sizzix Sizzlets Flagpole w/Lantern & sign die (decorative strip), and for the banners I used Papertrey Ink - Banner builder die collection.  The stamped image I used is from Whimsy Stamps - Cupcake Bliss, which I also stamped on X-press it blending card using Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black, then colored with Copics.  I added some of my favorite colored glitter, Art Glitter in Aquamarine from the Art Institute Glitter.  The image was attached to the pop-up using an action wobble, which I have to admit, is my first time using one of these, and I love the effect!  The sentiment inside is from a Hero Art Stamp set called Card Messages that was stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black and matted using a piece Pure Poppy cardstock from Papertrey Ink that I die cut using Spellbinder Nestabilities - Long scalloped rectangles large.

I had a lot of fun creating this card, and I really hope Maddie likes it!

We Wish you a Merry Christmas

Well, here we are at the second week of December, and it doesn't seem to feel like Christmas season yet, at least not for us here in Arizona.  Our weather is still in the 70's as of today, however, come this week, we are finally going to hit 60's.  I think this explains why it is so difficult to get into Christmas card making when it's sunny and hot outside....I'm trying!

For today's card, I used this really cute stamp I purchased at my local scrapbooking store, it's by Whipper Snapper Designs - Maddie.  I stamped it on X-press it paper by Copic using Memento Ink-Tuxedo Black, then colored it using Copics.  I used the same coloring scheme as on the front of the stamp, since initially the cute image along with the colors was why I purchased the stamp.  I used Bazzill paper for my base (which I rarely use, since to me, it feels very flimsy, I normally use Papertrey ink for my card base), since I didn't have this color of card stock from Papertrey Ink.  The pattern paper I used is from a 6" x 6" My Minds Eye Merry Paper pad I purchased from Michaels.

I used Let it snowflake die-namics from My Favorite Things and layered one on top of the other using a dimensional, then added a pink embellishment that I purchased from Hobby Lobby (Crystal Stickers 5mm LT. Pink).  The sentiment I used is from SP and Company Bold Holiday Sentiments, which by the way, I have to mention how much I love these stamps, not only because they are high quality photopolymer stamps, but also because of the variety of sentiments that you get in one set, not to mention the two different fonts used.

This was a quick card to assemble, I think the thing that took me the longest was the coloring, which by the way I enjoy very much!

Sending Happy Mail

I tried to take a slightly angled photo of this card so that you can see the frame that I created around this image, I love the way it turned out, using Spellbinders Nestabilities Circle and Scallop circle dies:

For today's post, I wanted to share the small cards I made for my Blog and YouTube winners.

I wanted to include a little card with each of their packages, however,  I didn't want to make the same card for all of them, so I decided to create different scenes for each.  I love the way they turned out!  Each measure 3" x 3".

For the card base I used Papertrey ink Kraft paper and as far as the designer paper, well, I used several different 6" x 6" paper pads, Echo Park - Hello Summer, lilybeedesign - This and That and Basic Grey - picadelly.  The stamp sets I used were,  Puppy Love by There She Goes ,  Owl Be Thinking of You by The Crafts Meow, Spring is Here by The Crafts Meow and last but not least a set from Whipper Snapper Designs - Sugar N Spice.

I also stamped the inside of them, I just forgot to take photos before mailing the packages out.  I hope they'll like them!

Thanks for stopping by!

Birthday Rats by Whipper Snapper Designs

INSIDE OF CARD:

I know I say this about all my stamps, but I really love them all or else I wouldn't buy them, but this stamps is just soooo cute!  It's my first Whipper Snapper stamp and definitely not my last. 

I started by stamping my image onto Copic X-press it blending card paper using Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black, I then colored my image using Copic markers.  Using my Spellbinder Nestabilities Curved Rectangles, I cut out the image as well as the bottom layer in Pure Poppy cardstock from Papertrey Ink.  The pattern paper I used was from an old Basic Grey Collection called Cupcake.  The sentiment used was from a Hero Arts clear stamp set called Big Hugs.  I added glossy accents to the balloon, which by the way, I think I added too much, but that's okay, it still looks good.  I'm definitely going to be using this stamp again with different card layouts, so expect to see it again!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you're having a great day!
