Happy Birthday Shaker Card

I'm back today with another card. This time I combined a few stamp sets from Pretty Pink Posh to create this Happy Birthday shaker card for my grand daughter. Also joining the challenge over at Seize the Birthday with Birthday Theme. 

For this card, I pulled out Storybook 3 as they are fun to use to split up the scene and add little shaker items. So I began adding clouds using (Salty Ocean) distress ink along with (Mowed Lawn) for the grass. 

I really love the font script from the new Happy Easter Script die so I used the word "HAPPY" and added the word "Birthday" using the Fox Friends set.

This bunny is so cheerful from the Bunny Friends that I couldn't resist but to use along with the spring flowers and Coordinating die which helped me cut them out perfectly.

Since it's a celebration, I stamped a little party hat, present and balloons using the the Birthday Friends set along with the Coordinating Die to help me cut out the images as well. Added some foam mount tape under the bunny to add a little more dimension. 

Last but not least, I added some new jewel using Watermelon, Pansy Purple, Lemon Drop, along with some Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix sequins for the top portion of the card. For the bottom portion, I added some Spring Green seed beads to finish off the card.

Happy Birthday to a Little Boy

Joining another day of Kathy's 30 day color challenge. All the details on her blog, The Daily Marker. Also joining Seize the Birthday with Birthday Theme. 

I realized that I don't have any boy cards, so I decided to pull out the Birthday Friends set again from Pretty Pink Posh as these little kids are so cute. Also, used the Coordinating Die which came in handy to cut out the images. 

On one of my previous cards, I used the Stacked Edges 1 die to cut three strips using the slanted curve border. Keep in mind, I placed the border onto an A2 size panel and cut the strips where I wanted them. 

After die cutting, I looked at the negative pieces from the A2 panel and thought why not make another card using them and keep the same order of the cuts. 

Once again, I used Distress Oxide inks as they are fun to play with. From bottom to top here are the colors: Faded Jeans, Peacock Feathers, Broken China, and Salty Ocean.  

Next, I pulled out a Sun Ray stencil and sprayed it with water and put it on top of the strips. This added the rays to the card.  

Once again, I used these adorable Bee Friends to the scene along with the Coordinating die to help me cut them out and added some clouds using the Rainy Days set.

Last but not least, I added some Gold Mini Star Confetti as I wanted to add some sparkles. Added some foam mount tape to pop up the little boy and bees. The balloons were glued down directly to the base.

Birthday Friends with Bee Friends

Have you ever started a card with something in mind and than at the end it turned out totally different? Well, that's what happened to me on this card. 

Joining another day of Kathy's 30 day color challenge. All the details on her blog, The Daily Marker. Lots of fun. Also, joining one more time over at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge of Anything Goes this week.

I couldn't resist but to use this new Birthday Friends set again from Pretty Pink Posh as I love it. Also, it's easy to cut them out when using the Coordinating Die which came in handy when I kept changing my mind and adding more balloons. 

For this card, I used Distress Oxide inks again as I'm having fun playing with them. To create the background, I used: (Bottom to top) Candied Apple, Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber, Peeled Paint, Peacock Feathers.

Copic colors used:

Balloons: RV29, RV25, RV21, Y17, Y15, Y11, BG49, BG15, BG10

Bees: C9, c7, C5, C3, Y17, Y15, Y11
Outfit: BG49, BG15, BG10    Hair: E18, E15, YR21 

To blend the inks colors together, I used a foam blending tool from ranger and tried Stratmore Bristol smooth paper this time. I love how the color goes on this paper.

As I mentioned, I was playing around and decided to add some curved stripes to the background, so I pulled out the Stacked Edges 1 and die cut three to add to this card. 

Also, I thought these adorable Bee Friends would be cute to add to the scene and let me say, the Coordinating die for this set was beyond helpful. Especially cutting the tiny little bees.

Last but not least, I added some 4mm Sparkling clear sequins to add a little sparkle and added foam mount tape to pop up the little girl and bees. The balloons were glued down directly to the base.

Birthday Friends and Wishes

I'm back today with another card to join another day of Kathy's 30 day color challenge. All the details on her blog, The Daily Marker. Lots of fun. Also, joining again over at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge of Anything Goes this week.

I just love this new Birthday Friends set where it comes with adorable little kids to choose from along with balloons, hats, presents, and a cake. Here, I used the Coordinating Die to help me cut out all the images after coloring them using my copic markers.

For this card, I used Distress Oxide inks to create a rainbow look for the edges using: Candied Apple, Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber, Peeled Paint, Broken China, Wilted Violet.

To create the shaker, I pulled out one of my favorite dies: Stitched Pieces from Pretty Pink Posh and created some clouds in the middle using Maliblue ink from Simon Says Stamp along with foam blending tool from ranger.

To fill in this shaker, I used Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix, 4mm Springtime Mix, and Mini Sparkling flowers. Last but not least, added some white dots using my gel marker along with using foam mount tape to pop up the two little kids.

Pretty Pink Posh New Release Blog Hop Day 2

Welcome to Day 2 of the blog hop showcasing Pretty Pink Posh's new release with tons of fun and inspiration. Plus prizes to be won as Pretty Pink Posh celebrates turning 4. 

You should have arrived from the talented Crystal Thompson, but if you get lost, no worries, there is a complete line up list below so you can stay on track during the blog hop. 

I'm beyond thrilled to share these three cards with you today, so let's get started. 

As you know I love creating shaker cards and using storybook dies, so I decided to create two birthday cards using the new Storybook 6 in celebration of Pretty Pink Posh turning 4.

Also, I'm loving this new fabulous Birthday Friends set where it comes with four adorable little kids to choose from along with balloons, hats, presents, and a cake. Here, I used the Coordinating Die to help me cut out all the images after coloring them using my Copic markers. 

To fill in this shaker, I used the new Northwest Sequins Mix and was excited to see a combination of different sizes along with 4mm clear droplets. Keep in mind, this is a limited edition and was perfect to create a neutral birthday card for either girl or boy. 

Moving onto the second card for the day....

Once again, I used this adorable Birthday Friends set as I find it perfect for any birthday celebration and adore using the balloons and hats. Also, used the Coordinating Die to help me cut them out fast and easy. 

As you can see, I'm using the new Storybook 6 once again, but this time flipped the die to use the rectangles and squares differently. Since I wanted a smaller sentiment, I found the perfect one using the new Love Sentiments set saying "All My Love." Plus, this set has the cutest hearts which I stamped at random, but some got covered up with balloons.

To fill in this shaker, I used the new Spring Blooms Mix and fell in love with the combination of pinks and various sizes together. It's absolutely gorgeous in person. This is also a limited edition you don't want to miss. 

Moving onto the third card for the day....

I'm loving these new Cupids Friends set and matching Coordinating die which makes it easy to cut them perfect and fast. For this card, I used my Copic markers once again to color them and having fun with it. 

When I saw this new Love Shaker die, lots of ideas popped into my head as I thought it was the cutest thing ever with these little scallops around the heart along with the amazing stitching detail. Plus, the word right in the center. 

For the base, I used one of the borders from the Stitched Border 3 collection and die cut 4 strips of patterned paper. 

To fill this little shaker, I grabbed the new Iridescent Heart Confetti mix as it has a wonderful combination of various size in iridescent along with the new Red Mini Hearts that I absolutely love.
