Birthday Cards - ScrapBerry's & Altenew Stamp Sets

Hello Everyone

I hope that your countdown to Christmas is not too busy and frantic.

I have had lots of classes and many events and it's been really hectic, but all good! ;-)

I created some cards for a friend at work.  Her daughter was having a Birthday.

Here are the cards I made.  2 very different cards! ;-)

On the one below I used some Altenew stamps, along with a Sizzix die-cut.

Altenew GARDEN TREASURE Clear Stamp Set ALT1603

I really like the dramatic colouring.

On the second card, I went soft and romatic with some ScrapBerry papers.

I also used some chippies and added texture.

Quick, quick in an hour and a half! ;-)

When one has a clear idea, the projects come together quickly.

Anyways, thanks for stopping by!

I hope you have a super weekend!

Cheers for now!

Happy Birthday Card - Altenew Die and Stamp Set

Hello Everyone

I treated myself to an Altenew die and stamp set a few months ago.

I really love their sets and wanted to try the die-cut and stamp combo.

Here's the card I created.

To colour the small flowers, I used Paperartsy infusions, blackcurrant and then added pearlescent centres and white highlights.

To the big flowers I added some pearlescent to the pollen sacs.

The big flowers were easy to stamp.  The hard part was deciding the colours and tones.

The card of the base was created with distress oxides water. I then added some more stamping for the title and for the corners.

I will definitely be using this set often...all I have to do is find more time in the day!!!! ;-)

Have a fabulous day...

Thanks so much for the visit!

Happy Birthday Card - Distress Oxide Inks

Hello Everyone

I had some fun last week at my scrap and chat evening and played with my distress oxide inks.

I made a Birthday Card.

I used the new Forest Moss green, which I know is going to be a favourite of mine.

I used it to colour the chipboard leaves.

I really love the colour combo on this card and those little red poppies just make it pop.

I hope my friend liked her Birthday Card and felt special in receiving it too!

Have a Blessed Monday...

Cheers for now

Birthday Card - BoBunny Stamps and Distress Oxides

Hello Everyone

My Mom turned 81 on Sunday and it really was such a lovely time, spent with the family and celebrating with her.

I made a card for her, using lots of BoBunny stamps and distress oxides.

I used a Martha Stewart punch to make the punched edges and coloured it with distress oxide.

In fact, the grassy bits were coloured with distress oxide too.

I used the gorgeous Dandelion stamp again too! ;-)

Sometimes one doesn't need too much just to make a pretty and elegant card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a fabulous day!

Birthday Card - October Afternoon

Hello Everyone

It's my sons Birthday today and so I have a Birthday Card to share with you.

Firstly, happy Birthday to my Boy! He is 9 today! ;-)

The time has flown and I really don't know where the last 9 years have gone.

But he's a good boy and I love him dearly!

Here's a photo of the big man, in his bed this morning! ;-)

I made this card for him.

I used some October Afternoon bits and pieces along with a Celebr8 stencil and some BoBunny black gesso. I kept it fresh and upbeat...I think perfect for a boy! ;-)

I certainly am happy that I was also able to use some goodies from my stash.

Anyways, off to get some dinner and celebrate a little! ;-)

So enjoy your evening too!

Cheers for now!

Just a very quick post for today!
Hope you have a gorgeous Sunday!
