Lady Bug Birthday!

Ryan got invited to a birthday party for a little girl in his class and this is the card he and I came up with together for her. Ryan loves the lady bug cards! 

Here is the picture from my punch book so you could see which punches I used to make the lady bug.

To make this card'

Stamps - Look Who's Turning

C/S - Whisper White, Real Red and Basic Black

Ink - Real Red and Basic Black Marker

Punches - 1", 1/3/8", and 3/16" Circles

Betsy's Blossoms

I really like this new stamp set available in the Idea Book and Catalogue! 

I stamped the large flower 3 times and punched out 2 of the centers using the 1 3/4" and 1 1/4" circle punches and then used Dimensionals to pop up each layer. I used a Rhinestone in the center of the top circle to finish it off. You have to make sure that you use demensionals to pop up the piece lying flat so that the card is able to catch on something to stand up.

Dimensions - 4  1/4" by 10" scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2". 5 1/2" by 4 1/4" for the card face and 1 1/2" by 4 1/4" for the bottom

Birthday Wishes

I forget where I saw a card similar to this, probably on one of the several blogs I like to look at.

I thought this card made a really nice Mother's Day card so all I did was replace the birthday wishes with Happy Mothers day! Each layer on this card is popped up using Dimensionals.

Party Favors

I created these favors for one of my demonstrator get togethers. They would make great favors for Bridal Showers, Weddings and Baby Showers. These are made using 2 tags from the Two Tags Die. I even decorated the mini Hersey chocolates inside the tags. I wrapped each one with DSP and put a flower and pearl on top. I stuck a small piece of sticky strip on the bottom to make sure the chocolates would not fall out.

To make this favor;

Stamps - Tiny Tags

C/S - Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade, Pink Pirouette and Whisper White

Ink - Lucky Limeade and Island Indigo

Big Shot - Two Tags, Blossom Party and Elegant Lines TIEF

Other - Lucky Limeade Ribbon, Green Rhinestone, Lucky Limeade Bakers Twine, Jewelry Tag   Punch, Punch Pack punches, Boho Blossoms Punch, Sponges and clear Blocks

Roar!

Here is another really cute boy birthday card! My son enjoyed making one with me to to give to one of his friends. I know, Concord Crush just retired but it would easily be substituted for Elegant Eggplant. I did decide to add a brad to the end of each purple strip after I took this photo, it finished it off! I chose to use one of my bigger clear mount blocks and then stuck both the dinosaur and the saying on it so I could stamp them at the same time and have them lined up just right.

C/S - Lucky Limeade, Concord Crush and WHisper White

Ink - StazOn Black, Lucky Limeade and Concord Crush

TI Embossing Folder - Square Lattice

I will miss Crazy for Cupcakes!

Crazy for cupcakes was probably my most used birthday sets, I did all sorts of different things with this set and I will miss using it in my clubs and classes. 

One of my fellow demonstrators made this style of card for our last get together so I thought I would give it a try. You will have to send me your blog Lisa so I can link it to my page and then everyone can see your card! I have wanted to make a card like this but I just haven't seemed to have the time to figure it out, I was surprised how simple it is. I will post the measurements at a later date with instructions on how to make it.

To make this card;

Stamps - Crazy for Cupcakes

C/S - Perfect Plum and Whisper White  or Island Indigo and Whisper White

Ink - StazOn Black, Soft Suede, Pink Pirouette, Real Red, Crumb Cake and Island Indigo OR Perfect  Plum

Happy Dirt Day!

I love this stamp set! 

I think maybe it is because I used to operate equipment like this and I also have two boys who love heavy equipment. I made two versions of this card, one with presents and one with the dirt pile in the box of the dump truck. I chose to pop up the dump truck using dimensionals so it looked like it was further out than the Excavator. I just ripped the Chocolate Chip Card Stock to make it look rough. I also sponged all edges so that the card looked dirty! :)

To make this card;

Stamps - I Dig You!

C/S - Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, and Whisper White

Ink - Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, Basic Black, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise and Old Olive

Other - Sponges and Dimensionals
