September 5, 2019 Carter's Birthday Card

My great grandson Carter celebrated his 4th birthday yesterday on the 4th - I already had two posts scheduled for that day so I posted it today.

This was a "freebie" from Simon Says a couple of years ago and I thought it was perfect for Carter's 4th Birthday  I found the pizza paper at Michaels - which went perfectly with the pup and pizza.  I used SU dies to cut out the label he is stamped on.  is birthday party is not until Sept. 14 but wanted to get his card to him before then.  Besides it is just another good reason to make himanother card or a cute tag to go with his gift.  Love you Carter. 

September 4, 2019 Designer Choice Starts with a B

Is it really September???  The kids are back in school, leaves are just starting to fall depending on the type of tree, the air is just a bit cooler.  What a good time to take a hike so put on your Boots and grab your Binoculars, maybe a light jacket and lets go.  Heather picked "Starts with B" for our designer choice this month.

For my boots I used right and left boot prints 2720-G Left and 2721-G Right Boot prints and 2919-I Binoculars  and for my sentiment  6524-C Just Imagine 
I did something I had not done is a really long time and that was to stamp with bleach for my boot prints, I am surprised with the yellowish tones I got but it worked well with my layer of DP.  I stamped the sentiment and binoculars on a hexagon shape die cut to fill up the two corners.  I am happy with the way it turned out.  And I am also happy that both images start with B.

September 4, 2019 Happy Birthday Danni

Today is Danni's 50 - yes her 50th birthday so we are doing a little blog hop in celebration. 

I choose this one as it is bright, cheerful, and sunny so I thought I would go with that vs. an over the hill card.  I used all SU products on this card and I love how the navy and yellow compliment each other. 

To follow along on the blog hop here is the order

August 28, 2019 Anything Goes

This week over at The House that Stamps Built is one of my favorite challenges
Anything Goes.

For my card I choose to use  2704-H Sail Boat and 3918-F Sentiment  after I got the card put together it was still a bit plain so I used 5128-D Palm Front Sm.
as a border in green around the white frame.  I sponged a sand/ocean and sunset on watercolor paper then fussy cut my sailboat out and popped it on top of a stamped sailboat.  Had a piece of ocean background paper left so used that as a layer.  Fun card to put together.

August 21, 2019 Inspiration Photo

This week our challenge over at The House that Stamps Built our challenge is the photo inspiration challenge.  I tried to go with not only the colors but also the flowers. 

 The image I used for my flowers is - 9706-U colored with watercolor markers - and since August is my busy birthday month (mine included!!!) I chose to make this a HappyBirthday Card using 1113-D Birthday.  Definetly a learning curve with my new brush marker water colors - but I am pleased with the end result.  I added a little bee pop up and a green bow to the stems to complete the card.  I am loving splatters - so I used my blue watercolors pallet and made some blue splatters.  This one has already been mailed - I have a dear friend that will be having open heart surgery on her birthday so I mailed it a bit early.  I will be sending her a thinking of you card very soon - keeping you in my thoughts Helen.

August 14, 2019 Tic Tac Toe Challenge

This week over at The House that Stamps Built our challenge is Tic Tac Toe which I usually love - this time I struggled just a bit figuring out what I was going yo do.
Here is my creation:

and here is out Tic Tac Toe challenge

  I chose Left column down - my dimension is my gold glittered sea horse die.
I used 2423-L Under the Sea and 9720-C Big Wish on this card.  I sponged my die cut with blues and then stamped my Under the Sea, I hadsome "waves" DP in my stash that I knew I would use at some point - so that was my layer.   I mounted my focal image on navy card stock die cut then popped up the gold glitter sea horse on the bottom right of the frame.  I love the sentiment on this card - can be used for more than just birthday.

August 7, 2017 Try New Technique Challenge

It is August - the other night on one of the late night comedy show - they did a skit on "can you believe it is August".  It was really funny and a lot of people say it - Can it really be August.
For our challenge this week out designer Rock Star Esther asked us to "Try a New Technique".  What fun.  I spend a few (ok more than a few) minutes on Pinterest and found one that looked like fun, and it was.  I chose to do the rubber band technique - which you can either do on an acrylic or your brayer using different width rubber bands.  Here is what I came up with.

I used a K Pad for my ink source in pastels, I took my roller off my brayer and wrapped - 4 different size width rubber bands around my roller, reattached and inked up the brayer with inks,then going in one direction only I went across my focal image.  Was it fun YES.  I'm thinking some Christmas cards using this technique.  I put gold glitter strips on each side of my rubberband focal image and then choose 5125-C Dragonfly Sil. small in different colors to match my focal center.  I stamped this image on both sides.  Then I was needing a Birthday card for a friend and used 6104-J Birthday Vertical.  I scattered some small colored sequins here and there and card was complete -  quick and easy.
