Birthday Card

Greetings.

Sharing a card I designed for my card class at church. 

The class was for 1st graders and up.

I used a sketch I had printed out and placed in my folder and for the life of me, I can't find it anywhere so I apologize for that. 
I *think* it's from 2 Sketches 4 You or Limelight Papercrafts.

Supplies:

Papers:  SEI Granny's Kitchen

Ink: Distress Vintage Photo

Stamp:  SU

They are really diggin' the stamping and the "magic" of the clear stamp, ha ha!!

Thanks for looking!

Hotwheel Birthday Invites

Zzoooooooooooooooooom!

hi there. 

Sharing a few projects for our youngest son's 4th birthday party.

When he said he wanted a Hotwheel party I thought it'd be great to find Valentines to cut up... then not only did we find them but they were clearanced to .19 for the box!  score!

I cut the cars out and added the flag-like papers.

The flames were stamped, cut out and glittered.

Super Easy.

Thanks for looking!

Just a Note

Hello.

Here's a quick little card I designed for my card class at

church composed of 1st through 3rd graders.

 

The thumb tack was cut out of extra paper, smeared with

Glossy Accents and adhered with a pop dot.

I made my own notebook paper with cardstock and the oh-so-cute EK binding edge punch.

I made my own sentiment with Lawn Fawn's "Harold's ABCs"

I am submitting this to the Wee Memories Challenge #49 "Anything Goes" this week.

 

other supplies:
Papers are from  American Crafts "Everyday" line
ink is Memento
Stamps: Lawns Fawn's "Harold's ABC"

Thanks for stopping by!

Butterfly Set

Hi. 
Back from a wonderful week in sunny Florida.
Great family time.  Boys' first airplane ride and trip to the beach.
What a hoot seeing their reactions to new things!

Today I am sharing a card set I made for someone. 

She wanted a gift to take to a female missionary in Mexico.

She liked the card I made HERE so I decided to make a set of 5. 

There is no sentiment so they could be used for English or Spanish.

The butterflies were stamped and colored with Prismacolor pencils.
I LOVE how the colors pop on Kraft paper.

I added some glitter glue to the butterflies' bodies and in the swirls.

Here's what the inside looks like:

I made a box and stamped and colored it to coordinate the cards:

The box pattern and instructions can be found HERE. 

It starts right away, so it can make you jump if your volume is high.

I have used this video several times and it always turns out cute!

Supplies:

Stamps: butterfly by Stampin Up, Flourishes from ?

Ink: Memento

Paper: cardstock

Other: various glitter glues, colored pencils and mineral spirits, UTUBE video by jacque1263

Thanks for stopping by today!

Wee Memories/SSS: green b-day!

Hello.

This card was inspired by two challenges. 

The greens came from the Wee Memories #47 "green" theme.

The theme is from the Simon Says Stamp birthday challenge. 

I dug through my scraps (very green of me) and found several bits and pieces of papers.

I stamped the flower image on 3 different patterns and added a pearl. 

Thanks for looking!

Happy Birthday Lawn Fawn!

I am doing a whole separate post to wish LAWN FAWN a happy 1st birthday!  Last fall I was searching for a letter stamp set and in doing so, found the Lawn Fawn stamp company.  I purchased Harold's ABC's, used them on a few projects and emailed the project to Kelly Marie.  Well, she asked if I had a blog and offered to link me up... um, no I did not have a blog... she then encouraged me to create one and gave suggestions on how to start.  Well, after a few days playing around I had made this blog.  In doing so, I was able to share a card here and there and then I discovered the various challenges from a variety of sites and companies and I have to say, it totally elevated my card making skills.  The recipients of my cards seem so appreciative of the time and love that goes into each one and I wanted to personally THANK Kelly Marie for all her encouragement.

Happy Birthday to Lawn Fawn.  It's a great company offering clear stamps made in the USA.  They stamp so cleanly and so crisply.  I just love them.  In celebration of the the fawn's b-day, I decided to go back and share some of my favorite cards with the LF stamps I currently own.  Hugs to you, Kelly Marie and THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart! 

Sets used:  Harold's ABC, Bannerific, Heebie Jeebies,
Frosties, Winter Bunny

Wee #46: thank you card

 A friend let me borrow some of her stamps and this adorable squirrel was in one of the sets.

I paper pieced the bee after coloring him yellow and gave him some sparkle too.
