Wishing You an Unforgettable Birthday

Not only is one of my Instagram friends celebrating her birthday, but two of them and on the same day, so I created another birthday card for Sandy to wish her a wonderful birthday and sending her some big hugs. Hope her day is filled with happiness and joy. 

Also, linking this card over at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge with "Make it Sparkle" along with joining over at Seize The Birthday 

Here is my card:

I've been dying to use this new stamp set I recently got called: Holiday Hugs from WPlus9 as it's so cute with this little girl hugging this polar bear. So I pulled out a little paper from Bo Bunny "Altitude" collection along with a thin strip of Surf Blue card stock down the center.

If you noticed the cute scallop edge to the right, it's from the Stitched Borders 1 die set from Pretty Pink Posh. Next, I pulled out this beautiful Decorative Die also from Pretty Pink Posh as I love the design and stiching on it. 

Here I used Fog Gray(SSS) card stock along with tickled pink (MFT) for the scallop oval and than white for the center. Added some foam mount tape underneath the decorative die and stamped image.  

Maybe you have guessed by now, but one of my favorite embellishments is the; 4mm clear droplets. which I added. They always add a nice sparkle to any project. Last but not least, I added some Stardust glitter glue to her hat and clear Wink of Stella to the scarf for more sparkles.

The sentiment is from the set called: Unforgettable, also from WPlus9. As always, if you haven't checked out the challenge, please stop over to check out all the inspiration

Make A Wish on Your Birthday

 

Wanted to create a special birthday card for one of my wonderful Instagram friend who is celebrating her birthday and let her know I'm sending big hugs to her and hope her day is filled with happiness and joy. 

Also, linking this card over at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge with "Make it Sparkle" along with joining over at Seize The Birthday with their topper of "Red and White" 

Here is my card:

I just love adding some sparkles on birthday cards and what better way but to make a shaker card using this fun Stitched Duo 3 die from Pretty Pink Posh. Also, added a combination of clear sequin with a touch of color and seed beads. 

Here is the combination I used: Spring Flower Mix, 4mm Pink Peonies, 4mm Sparkling clear, and Sparkling clear Seed Beads. 

Really enjoying this exclusive Scallop Frame Die which I die cut using some silver glitter paper before moving onto coloring these critters with my copics. Aren't they adorable? I just love this cute little bear and penguin from the Winter Friends stamp set, so than I pulled out Holiday Pals stamp set for the tiny bow and prensents to convert this into a happy birthday cards. 

Don't want to forget my favorite, the Twine and Bow die which I find myself using time and time again as it doesn't add bulk to the card when mailing out when you want to add a bow. If your wondering were these little sentiments come from, it's from the Mini Messages set from Mama Elephant. It's awesome. 

As you can see, these little critters are not just for the holidays, but can be used for birthdays as well. As always, if you haven't checked out the challenge, please stop over to check out all the inspiration

Merry Christmas with a Touch of Sparkle

One more Christmas card as I still need more and with only a few days before Christmas. This one is also fast and easy to replicate. Also, joining this time over at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge with "Make it Sparkle" along with joining on Flickr and SSSflickrchallenge#34 of using die cuts. 

Here is my card:

Believe it or not, this is actually one die called: Merry Christmas Ornanment Die from SimonSaysStamp where I cut it apart to use the snowflakes along the Stitched Snow Drifts and than added the last snowflake from the ornament die to the upper left hand corner. 

Since I wanted a stitched look around the borders, I first adhered the snow and snowflakes onto an A2 size Electric Red Panel card stock and than took my Blueprints 25 stitched rectangle and ran through the die cut machine. Afterwards, I added the words in the center. 

Colored these cute adorable little bear and penguin from the Winter Friends set from Pretty Pink Posh which I absolutely love. It has so many fun images such as stockings, ornaments, and coffee mug. Also, added some Stardust Glitter Glue to the santa hat to add a little sparkle.

Next, I added in several 4mm clear droplets from Pretty Pink Posh to add not only some dimension, but to add some clear sparkles. Don't want to forget, I did pop these cute little guys up using foam mount.

Again, it's a fast and easy Christmas card if you need to make several. As always, if you haven't checked out the challenge, please stop over to check out all the inspiration.

Wishing You Sunshine and Get Well

I couldn't pass up joining over at Just Us Girls with their trend week #323 using sequins as I've been loving all of the colors of sequins and playing alot with them. In addition, it gave me a chance to create a get well card for someone I found out recently was in a car accident. 

Here is my card:

Playing with a couple of my favorite stamp set: Holiday Pals from Pretty Pink Posh as I love these little critters and little accessories so I pulled out the little bunny, penguin, and cute little bow. Then I pulled out: Rainy Days for the umbrella, clouds, little smile, and sentiment.

Next, I created the circle by using the Stitched Circle die by Simon Says Stamp and pulled out the tiny dots stencil to add some texture paste. 

Since I wanted to add some color behind the little critters, I pulled out 2 inks from Altenew: Frosty Pink and Mango Smoothie to add to the circle. Added some fun foam under the rectangle to add some dimension along with adding foam mount under the umbrella and animals. 

Last but not least, colored using my copic marker and added some 4m clear sequins by Pretty Pink Posh and white embossed the sentiment. As always, if you haven't checked out the challenge, please stop over to check out all the inspiration.

Merry Christmas with little Reindeer

Some snow, dies, and a little reindeer combined creates another Christmas card done and let me tell you it's fast and easy. Joining this time over at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge with "Christmas theme project". 

Also, joining another challenge through Instagram for the igcraftycrew Christmas theme.

Here is my card:

I love this little Holiday Frames from Simon Says Stamp with the Merry Christmas already on there and all I had to do was add some silver sharpie pen to it along with some clear Wink of Stella and glossy accents.

The snow was once again done by using the Falling Snow Stencil, one of my favorites to add dimension along with some texture paste.

Couldn't resist but to use this cute little reindeer from the Reindeer Games set along with these beautiful Abby and Rylynn snowflakes from Simon Says Stamps which were die cut using some glitter cardstock.

You know me and sequins, so I had to add some 4m Metallic Silver color along with some 4m Raspberry from Pretty Pink Posh. This one was fast and easy to make and already in the process of die cutting all the pieces to make another one, but just in a different color.
