You're Such a Deer!

Sharing a birthday card I made for my niece.

Features  stamp sets from The Craft's Meow "Typically Teen and "Oh, Deer".

The design was inspired by their March sketch.

Papers are "Kissing Booth" by Basic Grey.

I love the Polaroid look so much.

This one was made using the "George" cartridge on my Cricut (had to practice first)

I saw a blog that suggested using the square Spellbinders dies and I now have them to try.

I think that will be easier.  

The banner was handmade.  

The deer was stamped on white paper, colored with Copics and cut out.

Merci

Used a couple challenge prompts to make a card this weekend.

Design from CAS(E) this sketch, colors from the 10 minute craft dash 
and papers inspired by BG challenge. 

This card took 10:18. I went over b/c I cut the arrow in a blue paper first and it didn't pop enough so I re-cut in the dark pink BG paper from the pad. Definitely a good move.

Card features a Purple Onion thank you stamp (Thanks AMY) and 

papers by Basic Grey and MME.

Supplies:

Stamp: Purple Onion

Ink:  Distress in Broken China

Papers:  Basic Grey "Kissing Booth" and MME

Other:  arrow die "Lead the Way" set by MFT

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

WM78 & BG58: Birthday wine tag

Hello.

I am back again with another wine tag.

My niece's 21st birthday is this month and I thought it would be cute to give her a bottle of our favorite wine, Ste. Chateau Michelle Riesling, 2010, and a nice opener.

Of COURSE, I had to decorate the bottle!

The "happy birthday" cs sticker is from the BG collection. 
I misted it with perfect pearl/water mist.

The balloons are actually from the egg image on the Doodlecharms cartridge.

I cut each 3 times and sandwiched the wire between 2 and then used the last one to cover the front for a cleaner look.  Then, I added a thick coat of Glossy Accents.

The papers are all from Basic Grey's "Cupcake" collection.
The BG challenge this time was to use an item found around the house.
I used an ornament hanger to be my balloon "strings".
My MM wire was too thin and the hanger was perfect!

 

 

 

I am submitting this project into the following challenges:
Wee Memories #78: Free for All
Basic Grey Challenge #58: Lost and Found

 

Supplies:

Papers: Basic Grey "Cupcake" collection

Other: Perfect Pearls, Glossy Accents, Cricut Doodlecharms cart, MM wire for card, ornament wire for tag, Twine, binding edge punch, dimensional foam

 

Thanks for looking.

I have other wine tags. 

HERE is a Christmas themed one I posted yesterday
and HERE is a winter themed tag using Lawn Fawn's Winter Bunny.

Have a great day.
