Happy Birthday with Aspen Trees

This is for today's COLOR CHALLENGE # 564 - I Have a crush on pacific sand. For Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 567 - Other than a stamp I sponged some pacific point on white using TCW Aspen Tree Stencil then matted on pacific point cs. For Monday's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 358 - Are you HAPPY? I cut the HB die from memory box using cucumber crush cs and glued it to the pacific point circle then popped it up on dimensionals. My layout is from Monday's MOJO MONDAY SKETCH CHALLENGE # 429.
The only stamping done here was on the inside using a set of birthday quotes I picked up at JoAnne's last year in pacific point and on the envelope. I also am going to extend my resolution this year to stamping on the back of the card with my signature stamp. I did this today. YAH! I love picking up a card to give and it is completely finished except for signing a name on the inside. This card was so fun to make and I hope whomever I pass it on to enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed making it.

A Lotus for your Birthday

This is for today's COLOR CHALLENGE # 556 - Tempting Red Petals, for Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 559 - A CASe In Point where I choose today to CASE my ROSE BIRTHDAY CARD and used a technique that I loved called TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE 551 - COLOR BLOCKING WITH CARD STOCK. This is also for Monday's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 350 - To Grandma's House we go. I know nothing about my father's mother since I was 3 yrs old when my parents divorced and my mom moved us from Indiana to GA with her mother. She passed away when I was only 4 but I do remember everyone talking about how she could stick her thumb in a pot with dead flowers and bring them back to life so this is in the honor of those memories. I color blocked with primrose petals and real red cs the top layer of the flower and the HB sentiment. I embossed the tempting turquoise panel with Darice Brick Wall embossing folder.

I stamped the sentiments on the inside and envelope in tempting turquoise ink. I hope you like it and off to work I go. Have a blessed day everyone.

It's Your Rusty Ole Birthday Danny

I used a fiskars guide to cut my circle then doodled around the edge. I stamped the rusty tractor then cut it out and colored with copics, I fussy cut the grass underneath and the sentiment as well.

Jaylen's 6th Birthday Card

This is for today's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE 480 - Stamp the Senitment over the image, CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE 271- Casing Arizona Maine, and MOJO MONDAY SKETCH CHALLENGE 344.
I have been MIA since mid November and to explain ALL that has gone on would bore you to tears but today I was ready to stamp again. I choose to CASE Arizona's BIRTHDAY CANDLES. I wish I had that die cut now. WOW those candles are fabulous. To make mine I used the hershey kiss drop image from MFT How Sweet It Is set and stamped them in the SU ink colors then colored them in with coordinating copic colors using B14, V25, YG17, Y18, YR14, and R29. I stamped the sentiment over them in black then popped the tag up on dimensionals. I used pacific point ink to stamp the HB sentiment on the banner. I am not thrilled with the outcome but it is for my turning 6 yr old grandson. He will be happy to open it up and find a $20 bill in it then the card will get tossed aside, LOL. Gotta love kids today right.
