Birthday Wishes

I am so behind in everything lately and posting is one of them. I am going to start with a card I made for my Great Grandson Elijah. He will turn 3 next week and his card is in the mail. So I don't think he will mind if I share it with all of you.

I just love this set from Stampin up, No bones about it.  It is just great for making cards for boys. It was quick and easy. Copied from Pinterest.
I made my own Designer paper to go with the theme.

Have a great Memorial Day weekend.

August Projects

This month I have been excited to focus on a couple of products from our new Stampin Up catalogue.
With a lot of birthdays this month I focused on lots of color and Butterflies. Using our Butterfly thinlit and Stampin Ups Envelope Maker.

 

All these Red and Purple cards are for the Birthdays of some very special Red Hat ladies in my chapter. I also used the envelope thinlits to make inserts for the envelope but those pictures didn't come out. I think they turned out quite well how about you?

Here are some firecrackers I made for guests at a Birthday Party we had for my Red Hat Chapter. Each one is filled with Chocolates, Jelly Beans and Sugar Free candies. What a wonderful way to use up retired DSP!! If you want to know how I made these lovely firecrackers go to videos up on tabs and click you will find it there. Have Fun, I know I did.

 

I hope you enjoyed this months projects and as always fill free to comment. I love reading them.

February Valentines

I did a major Oops! I made and sent the Valentine Day and Valentines Day  Birthday cards before I could take pictures of them. I only have these adorable 3 x 3 cards and envelopes I made for some of my gal pals.

 

I hope you enjoyed my little Valentines cards. I just love my envelope maker and can't wait to play with the box maker I just received. With Easter coming up I can't wait to see what I come up with. Let me know what you think.

Open Sea Birthday Card

Here is a card I made for one of my grandson's. I like the Open Sea stamp set and I hope he likes what I came up with.

Supplies:
Card Stock                             Crumb Cake, Pacific Point, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla
Stamp Sets                             The Open Sea and Itty Bitty Banners
Ink                                          Soft Suede
Stampin Up Markers              Pacific Point
Punch                                      21/2 inch Circle Punch
Framelit                                   Itty Bitty Banner
Accessories                             Stampin Up Circle Cutter

I cut a piece of Pacific Point 51/2 x 41/4 for the base card, then 51/4 x 4 for the next layer I used Soft Suede. Then cut a piece of Very Vanilla 5 x 33/4   and stamped world stamp, compass and anchor all over it.
Then I stamped a piece of Pacific Point 31/2 x 21/2 and tore the edges
Next I stamped shipping log onto a piece of Very Vanilla 31/4 x 21/4  in Soft Suede and tore the edges.
I stamped Happy Birthday with Soft Suede and cut it out using framelit and put aside, same with the anchor except I trimmed around it.
Next I stamped the ship on Very Vanilla card stock with Soft Suede and using my Pacific Point marker colored under the ship to make the sea. Then I punched it out using the 2 1/2 inch Circle punch.
Last using the Circle Cutter I cut a piece of Crumb Cake and Soft Suede to make the Port Holes. I was going to put brads on the Port Holes to make it look more realistic, but ran out of time before my sis had to leave for convention, where it was being mailed from. Sorry Mark!

I hope you enjoyed my project today and leave me a comment below. Thanks for stopping by.

Look What I Made Today

Birthday Beer Mug

I found the idea for this card on Pinterest, posted by Tammy Bolster.  Thanks Tammy for a cute card. Hope you like my version.

Supplies needed for this card:

                                  large hand,  and itty bitty scallop punch       
Tools                         Big Shot Machine,  Sticky tape, glue dots           

Directions:

1. First cut a piece of Whisper White card stock to 5 1/2" x 11" and fold in half, this will make your base card.
2. Then cut a piece of Soft Suede card stock to 4" x 5 1/4", then run that piece thru the Big Shot using the Woodgrain embossing folder.
3. Next adhere this to the card front of your base card.
4. Then cut a piece of Whisper White card stock to 3" x 3 3/4" this will be your mug.
5. Next cut 3 strips of So Saffron card stock  31/2" x 7/8"  this will be for the beverage.
6. Punch the corners of the strips to round the edges using the corner punch.
7. Sponge the edges with So Saffron Classic Ink.
8. Stamp your sentiment onto 1 of the So Saffron strips using Soft Suede Ink.
9. Attach the strips of So Saffron to the front of the Whisper White Mug.
10. Adhere completed mug to Soft Suede card front. (I used sticky tape for better support)

How to make Mug Handle   
Using scrap Whisper White card stock punch a large Oval using oval punch (disgard this)

Then over the top of this hole, punch again using the Jumbo Oval  

This is what makes the handle for your mug. Now attach this to the back of your completed mug and then adhere mug to card front.


How to make Foam/Suds

Punch 3 of the 1-1/4" circles
Punch 5 of the  3/4" circles
Punch 1 of the  1/2" circles
Punch 5 of the Itty Bitty Scallop circles
Punch 5 or 6 dots using large Hand punch
Sponge the edges of these circles with So Saffron Ink.

Now attach these to the front of your card as desired to make Foam/Suds (I used stampin dimensionals, glue dots) to gice a 3D look.

Finish the inside of your card using Soft Suede Classic Ink.

I am sending this to my Grandson for his 21st Birthday. I think he will get a kick out of it.  I would love to hear what you think.
