BG63, SSS, L28: masculine birthday card

Been doing a lot of scrapbooking, but took a break to make a card  for 

one of many birthdays to come in our family.  

I decided to make one a little on the masculine side and used 

Basic Grey's "Oxford" papers with a splash of "Granola".  

I distressed the edges of the star panel and used two distress inks to color the "hi".

I love how it turned out.  Really matches! 

The pup was stamped on the same paper as the back panel, 

but I pounced him a little with Vintage Photo.

Gave the card a little mist of perfect pearls/water.

There's a metallic gem for the collar and a dot of shiny dimensional paint on his nose.

Supplies:

Papers: BG "Oxford" and "Granola"

Stamps: Lawn Fawn "Critters in the Burbs" and "Quinn's ABCs"

Ink: Memento black, Distress in Barn Door and Fired Brick, Vintage Photo

Other: Spellbinders Wonky rectangles, Sizzix star, Hemptique hemp cord, Perfect Pearls, TH edge distressor, gem, shiny fabric paint, Cuttlebug star

I am submitting card into the following challenges:

Basic Grey #63: Wish Upon a Star

Lawnscaping #28: Distress Mania
Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes

Can you see my "watermark"?  

I have fiddled and fiddled and fiddled and FINALLY figured out how to do it!  
Just needs to be bigger...

Thanks for looking,

Kelly

I can do ALL things...

Hi there.

Sharing a card I made for a set.

It features an inspiration stamp by Verve and 

paper from Basic Grey's "Life of the Party" 6x6 pad.

I sat and just stared at the "ruler" sheet and had that stamp on my desk.

I kept looking back and forth and it came to me... His power is immeasurable.

I cut the ruler sheet from the pad into strips and "wrapped" it to look like those fabric tapes.

Stamps: Verve Plain Janes

Ink: Distress Barn Door

Papers: Basic Grey's "Life of the Party"

Stickers: Cosmo Cricket Tiny Types

Other: Spellbinder Nestabilities wonky rectangles

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Valentine Party Picture "booth"

Hello.  

Busy weekend here but I wanted to share an idea I had while lying in bed one morning.

I am one of the room moms for our oldest son and we were going to 

have stations for the 1st grade party.

I needed another station.

Then a light bulb went off and I remembered the Lawn Fawn facebook pictures from CHA.

They made large cut outs of many of their stamps including their Polaroid stamp 

and took pictures of themselves with visitors.  

AHA!  

I decided to make one myself and use it as a photo booth at the party.  

They can have their picture made with just themselves or with a friend.  

I'll print them out later and send them back to school with my son.

20x30 foam board from Michael's Crafts $1.50

Draw and cut out the frame with a nice sharp box cutter.  

My sides are 2 inches wide.

I painted mine grey with Acrylic Paint (.59).  This DID warp the board a bit.

Decorate with stickers, die cute shapes and gems. 

My adorable (trust me) anonymous model:

Stations for our Valentine Party:

- Picture "booth"

-Tattoo  station

- Pin the arrow on the cupid

- Toss the ping pong balls into the cups/get it the red cup = prize
- Guess the number of candies in the bag (closest guess wins the treats)

- "Paint" your cookie edible craft

-Whole group story and Bingo

Supplies:

Idea: Lawn Fawn inspired

Papers: Echo Park "Be Mine"

Other: foam board, box cutter, glue, acrylic paint

I am entering this into Simon Says Stamp: Love is in the Air challenge

I think the kids will have fun with this. 

The other mom is making a crown for them to wear in the picture.

The back can be decorated for a different theme or for a birthday party if you don't allow overhang like I did.  I let things hang off a bit since the board warped. 
Next time, I may cover with paper and ATG adhesive to prevent warping.

Thanks for looking,

Kelly
