STS#23: Baby Card

Playing along with the Seize the Sketch Challenge #23.

I used the sketch to make a welcome baby card.

I flipped the sketch side-ways and used a rectangle back panel rather then the oval.

 

The paper and stickers are all from Echo Park "Bundle of Joy" collection.

The back pink panel was cut with the Stitched Journaling Die by Lawn Fawn.

Couple weeks left to get cards in for my Card Drive for Emma. 

Drawing for prizes at the end of July!

Seize the Bday: boy bday card

Needed another birthday card this weekend for a boy.

I printed out the new Seize the Birthday sketch 
and grabbed my "Swimsuit Season" stamp set by Lawn Fawn.  
We are giving the boy a slip-n-slide so I thought the suit themed card would be cute.
The pants were stamped and cut out.  
The water splashes were stamped directly on the paper,
 colored with Copics and then glittered. 

The frame was a late addition.
I bought them at Michaels.  
The other side was orange floral so I flipped it over and 
colored it with Copics to match the card.
Seems to work vs.having my suit floating on the card.  

Stamps:  Lawn Fawn

Papers:  Echo Park

Bingo:  Simple Stories

Other: Stickles, Recollections frame


I am also entering this card into the Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes Challenge

CAS(E) 29: Make a Splash!

The new CAS(E) this sketch challenge #29 came at the perfect time.

I needed to make a birthday card for a little boy by the weekend.

My card features Lawn Fawn's "Swimsuit Season" 

and Echo Park's "A Boy's Life" paper collection.

I stamp the suit and water splashes and cut them out.  

I added Glossy Accents to the water splashes.

The arrow is made from an MFT die called "Lead the Way".

One of a Kind

Made a bright card this weekend. 

This will be used for as a male birthday card.

Colors were inspired by The Play Date Cafe's inspiration photo

The design is based on the sketch from Seize the Birthday #13: masculine.

The papers are from Echo Park's "Little Boy" collection.

The cute camera die cut came from Amy.  It was white.  

I colored it with distress ink and added some of the papers to the holes.  

There's Glossy Accents on the flash window.

 

 Here's the color inspiration:

If you have a bit of time the next couple days, maybe you can make a few?

Here's a couple I sent...

Koala is from "Create a Critter" cartridge.

This one features Echo Park paper.

Blogger is so blurry.  There's glossy accents on the "hello" letters and the arrow.

The arrow is a die by MFT "Lead the Way"

 

I am linking these cards up to the Purple Onion blog

I wanna be a Ninja!

 

Here's a birthday card I made for a 6 year old boy.

The theme of the party was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle 

(singing the theme song in your head, aren't ya?).  

I found this cute turtle on the Create-a-Critter cartridge and decided to 

turn him into a ninja to fit the party theme.  

The boy was the orange one for Halloween so that led the way for the color scheme.

Other Supplies:

Brads for eyes,

folded ribbon for headband

net ribbon from Ribbon Carousel

striped paper by Echo park

I am entering this card into the NEW Seize the Birthday challenge site.

My Card Drive for Addison is ending this month.
