Happy Birthday Little B

Good morning everyone! I hope that you are all having a good week so far. It’s bound to get better tomorrow because it’s Friday! 🙂 Today’s card is for my Godson Brian. I call him little B because I know so many Brian’s! I have used the Uncharted Territory Stamp Set a lot for masculine birthday cards and it really is a great set. The base of the card is Not Quite Navy and the background was created by running a piece of So Saffron though the Big Shot using the Texturz Plates Backgrounds 1. The image, as I mentioned, is from Uncharted Territory and is stamped in Not Quite Navy Ink. I used the birds from Up, Up & Away, they almost look like they are made for this set. For the greeting I used my “go to” birthday set Happiest Birthday Wishes. Three gold Metallic Brads finish off the card in the top right corner mounted on some more Not Quite Navy. Thanks for stopping by today and have a great day!

Sophia’s Birthday :-)

Good morning and HAPPY FRIDAY! Make sure that you cram a lot into this weekend because we loose a hour Sunday night! As promised, today’s card is for little Sophia who turned two yesterday. She is such a cute shy little girl and her big sister loves her so much. For the card I started with a base of Melon Mambo and I ran a piece of Daffodil Delight through the Big Shot using the Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I stamped the images from the Every Little Bit Stamp Set in Mambo Melon on Whisper White Card Stock and punched them out with the 1″ Square Punch. I rounded the opposite corners with the 3/16″ Corner Rounder and did the same to the pieces of Melon Mambo that I punched out with the 1 3/8″ Square Punch. The greeting is from the Happiest Birthday Wishes Stamp Set (Host(ess)) and is also stamped in Melon Mambo on Whisper white and mounted it to another piece of Melon Mambo. They both have the bottom corners rounded and I also rounded the bottom of the card. I hope that you enjoyed today’s simple kids card. Please leave a comment, I read the all and they are always appreciated. Have a great day!

Happy Birthday Leigh

Good morning everyone. It’s Thursday, only one more day to go! Today’s card is for my daughter’s mom Leigh. We have been friends for a very long time. She has since gotten married and has another beautiful little girl who’s Birthday is today. I’ll post her card tomorrow. I’m continuing with my Sale-A-Bration themed cards. I used some more of my favorite Designer Series Paper Everyday Enchantment (Sale-A-Bration). I used it as a background adhered to some Pool Party Card Stock for the card base. The flower is Poppy Parade punched out with the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch. The small circle of Peach Parfait in the middle is an eye from the Owl Builder Punch. I used the stamp from Fresh Vintage (Sale-A-Bration) for the image that matches with the DSP perfectly and cut it out with the Labels Collection Framelits Dies (Occasions Mini). The greeting is from Elementary Elegance (Sale-A-Bration) and is also cut out with the Labels Collection Framelits Dies (Occasions Mini). I sponged the edges of both labels with my sponge daubers in matching ink. Leigh loved the card and I hope you enjoyed it too. She is also very talented, you should go and take a look her beautiful bracelets on her Etsy site: http://www.etsy.com/shop/TaphiaDesigns. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Happy Birthday Piet

Good morning and happy Sunday to you all. I think that Sunday really should be dedicated to a day of rest, I feel like I haven’t stopped all week! For today’s card I’m posting a birthday card for a friend of mine, Mina, who’s brother recently had a birthday. Her brother Piet is a great guy and a lot of fun to be around. For his card I used the Uncharted Territory Stamp Set. It has some really great images and is perfect for a masculine card. The card base is Baja Breeze and to that I added some Not Quite Navy that I ran through the Big Shot in the Houndstooth Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I stamped the sailboat in Not Quite Navy and backed it with some Baja Breeze. The greeting is on the sailboat is from the Family Reunion Stamp Set and the Birthday Wishes is from the Fabulous Phrases Stamp Set. I used 3 Metallic Brads in gold for some nice added detail. The pieces on the card were all adhered to the background with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I hope that Piet liked his card and had a great birthday. Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

French Foliage CASE

Happy Saturday to you all! I’m off to the Manhattan today to drop off some orders, my daughter is going to take a ride in with me. It will be cold but I love Manhattan. For today’s card I CASED my friend Sandy’s card. I loved the card so much that I got the French Foliage Stamp Set just so I could make it. The card is uses every stamp in the set at least once. I stamped the images in Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze and Always Artichoke on Very Vanilla Card Stock. The square image on the card is actually Clear Block C stamped on the ink pad and then onto the card. I added some 3/16″ Metallic Brads and 1/4″ Early Espresso Grosgrain Ribbon for embellishment. The greeting is from a great go to set Teeny Tiny Wishes and is stamped in Early Espresso and punched out with the Word Window Punch then mounted on a halved Stampin’ Dimensional. Very Vanilla is mounted on Crumb Cake and then mounted on the card base of Early Espresso. This card would work for so many different occasions, thank you, miss you and especially a masculine birthday. I really like the card, it’s one of my favorites of all time. I hope that you have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by. 🙂

Angie’s Birthday Take 2

Happy Saturday to you all. I hope that you are enjoying your weekend. For today’s card I am posting the card that I sent my friend Angie in Missouri for her birthday. I used Very Vanilla, Pool Party and Wisteria Wonder Card Stock. The background, in Very Vanilla, was embossed with the Texturz Plates Backgrounds 1 set in the Big Shot. The flowers are from the Vintage Vogue Stamp Set and were stamped in Wisteria Wonder and cut out with Paper Snips. I used the Owl Builder Punch and the circle from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack to punch out the middles for the flowers in Silver Glimmer Paper and mounted them on Stampin’ Dimensionals on Pool Party Card Stock. The greeting is from Loving Thoughts (Occasions Mini) and is also stamped in Wisteria Wonder.

Happy Birthday Angie

Good morning everyone. It’s Friday!!!! I loves me some Friday! For today’s card I am posting a birthday card that I made for my friend Kim that she sent to her sister Angie that lives in Kansas City Missouri. I was there in December, with Kim, for the first time and she was a wonderful hostess. I had such a great time so I had to make her an extra special birthday card. This card is a 3D card. If you look at the side view you can see it better. I have made a few of these and they are my favorites. I started with a piece of 12″ x 5 1/2″ Very Vanilla Card Stock. It is scored at 1/2″, 3 1/2″, 4″, 7″, 8″ and 11″. I then cut windows out of the two larger outer panels. Then all you do is decorate and fold it. The best part is that you can fold it flat to mail it. I used the Sweet Cake Stamp Set (Occasions Mini) stamped in Concord Crush and Wild Wasabi. The tiny heart is from the Heart to Heart Punch and the cherries are from the Cupcake Builder Punch. They are both punched out in Cherry Cobbler. The background is Wild Wasabi and I used the Scallop Trim Border Punch with some Concord Crush for a little extra detail. The cute little flowers are from the Birds and Blooms Sizzlits Die 4 Pack that you can still get in the Clearance Rack. The greeting is from the Family Reunion Stamp Set. I love this card and Angie liked it too. Please leave a comment and thanks for stopping by!

Love & Laughter Anniversary

Good morning all. Did everyone have a good Superbowl? I ate way more than I should have but we had fun! For today’s card I made an Anniversary Card for my friends Brian & Kim. I used Soft Suede, Calypso Coral and Very Vanilla Card Stock. The beautiful bride’s dress image is from Love & Laughter and is stamped in Calypso Coral. I cut out the image and put a piece of Calypso Coral 1/8″ Organdy Ribbon from the Everyday Enchantment Ribbon & Brad Pack around the waist. I stamped one greeting from the Occasions Alphabet Set and mounted the two pieces on Soft Suede that was cut out using the Labels Collection Framelits Dies. Using the Perfect Polkadots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder I ran some Calypso Coral through the Big Shot. I rounded the corners with the 3/16″ Corner Rounder and also did the same on the Soft Suede Card Base. A piece of 5/8″ Very Vanilla Grosgrain Ribbon was place on the Calypso Coral background and I mounted the Soft Suede Label on Stampin Dimensionals. The greeting at the top is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and was also rounded and popped up on Stampin Dimensionals. I hope you like the card as much as they did and thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!

Happy 1st Birthday Abby!

Good Monday morning to everyone. I hope that you all had a nice weekend. As I mentioned yesterday, I had little Abby’s 1st Birthday party to go to. I also mentioned that I had made the invitations for the event. If you missed them you can see them here: http://jkcards.wordpress.com/2012/01/04/abbys-first-birthday/. We had a very nice time and her mom made Bubble Guppy Cake pops. I have to see if I can get a picture from her because I ate mine before I remembered to take one! The card I made for her includes a matching gift card holder. I used Pretty In Pink, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White Card Stock. For the card I cut three squares of Whisper White to 1 15/16″ (one for the gift card holder) and used the Scallop Edge Border Punch to create the scalloped squares. They go perfectly with the 1 1/4″ Square Punch in Pretty In Pink. I stamped the teddy bear image from the Every Little Bit Stamp Set in Chocolate Chip Ink and punched it out with the 1″ Square Punch. The greeting is from Happiest Birthday Wishes which is a Host(ess) Set and was also stamped in Chocolate Chip Ink. I used the Scallop Edge Border Punch on the backing for the greeting for some coordination. The small strip of ribbon is 1/4″ Grosgrain Early Espresso (I didn’t have any Chocolate Chip!). The gift card holder uses all of the same elements but instead of ribbon I used the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Punch in Chocolate Chip. To make the holder I used a piece of Whisper White Card Stock cut to 4 1/2″ x 5″, It was scored at 1/2″ and 4″ on the 4 1/2″ side and 2 1/2″ on the 5″ side. I then cut off two of the rectangles and folder the other two and used some Sticky Strip to adhere them to the back. The 1/2″ Circle Punch makes the notch in the top so it’s a little easier to get the gift card in and out. I hope you liked today project and thank you so much for stopping by!
