Donut Birthday - Neat & Tangled

Hello, MarkerPOP friends! Have you ever had donuts instead of cake for your birthday? I haven't! But I think I need to change that on my next birthday. All these pictures of donut cakes are making me want one!

Today, I am working with the Neat & Tangled's Say Yes to Donut stamp set. I paired up the stamps with the Simple Stories So Fancy 6x6 paper pad:

The donut image is stamped onto white cardstock. The image is colored in with a variety of Chameleon markers. The image is cut out using a stitched circle die. I used a couple of different prints from the paper pad to finish the card. The floral print is used to cover the front of the card. The purple print is cut with a stitched rectangle die. The sentiment is stamped onto a yellow print and attached to towards the bottom part of the purple. The circle die is attached towards the top.

The stamped image is stamped in black ink. This made the sprinkles black. I covered the black part with a white gel pen to turn the sprinkles to white.

Please stop by the MarkerPOP blog for the list of markers and supplies I used to create this card.

Thank you for stopping by today! Hope you have a great one!

Celebrate with Concord & 9th

I saw that Concord & 9th was going to start a new challenge blog, Where Creativity Meets C9,  starting next month. They are looking for a couple people to complete their design team. I love their stamps, so I decided to throw my name in the hat. It would be a great opportunity!

Here is the card I created for this design team search, using their 

Eat Cake & Celebrate stamp set.

To create the background of this card, there is a stamp with 5 candles on it. I actually cut the stamp into five individual stamps. **Tip**I use to hesitate cutting apart clear stamps! But sometimes I only want to use part of a larger image. It is much easier to cut the stamp than covering part of the stamp with tape. It is easy to line the image back up and stamp whenever needed.

To start the card, I stamped the cake image in the center of the card. Candle images are stamped randomly around the card. To fill in part of the empty space, I stamped the star image. Time to color in! I used a variety of watercolors to color in the images. I used a light blue to fill in the background. Once the paint dried, I stamped the star clusters to all the empty spaces. The sentiment is stamped onto a die cut banner and attached to the card.

Interested in joining the design team search? You can find the details on THIS POST!

Good luck to all those who apply!

Have a great day!

Sweet Birthday Wishes

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! Our family has a few July birthdays, so I have been cranking out the birthday cards and wanted to share one of my latest Pink & Main creations.

Today, I am working with one of Pink & Main oldies, Birthday Wishes stamp set.

I paired up the Pink & Main stamps with some festive birthday prints. The background of the card is cut from print and a circle is cut out and attached to the card base. The fun Pink & Main sentiment is stamped in the empty space of the circle and colored in.  A few colorful diecut balloons are attached to the card with foam tape and twine. To complete the card, I added a few diecut stars on the card!

Pink & Main Anything Goes Challenge

Hello, Pink & Main friends! Who is ready for another Pink & Main Monthly Challenge? This month we are going with a very simple theme, and one of my favorites, ANYTHING GOES!

May is my birthday month, so I decided to make a super cute birthday card, using the adorable Dinomite stamp set.

I fell in love with this fun collection from Echo Park! I also wanted to pair it up with a the Dinomite stamp set. I took the image that matched the papers and colored with green markers. The image is cut out and set aside. I layered several prints to form the front of the card. The dinosaur image is attached to the top panel. The balloon is paper-pieced to the card. The sentiment is stamped onto a banner diecut and the card. A sticker embellishment is added using a foam pop dot.

Pink & Main Birthday Girl Card

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! We are having a birthday party tomorrow, so birthday theme projects have been on my mind. So I brought out the new Pink & Main Birthday Girl stamp set and coordinating die.

  

 

 

I picked out the festive birthday hat paper for the background of the square card. I colored the birthday girl image with colors to match the paper. Once the image was colored, I used the coordinating die and cut out the image. The girl is attached to the card with foam dots. The sentiment is stamped onto a pendant diecut. 

 

Thank you for stopping by today! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Pink & Main Birthday Boy

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! I hope you are having an awesome Saturday! Today, I am getting a slow start to the day! It is a gloomy, rainy day here on the Texas Coast. A perfect day to get my craft on!

Today's card is using one of Pink & Main's June release stamp sets - Birthday Boy.

 

The birthday boy image is stamped and colored in with a variety of markers. The balloons for the same image are stamped on a couple of different prints. This was done to paper-piece the balloons. The boy and balloons are attached to a patterned backing. The corners of the backing are rounded. The card base mat is create with 2 different prints. To finish of the card, a few sequins are added to the card.

DCWV Layered Birthday Card

Hello, DCWV friends! It is Jessi here. Today I am sharing a fun card using one of DCWV Premium Paper Collection! This collections come with 5 different cardstocks and textures that go perfectly together to create any project.

 

Here is the card I created:

 

 

To start the project, I decided which papers I was going to start of with.

 

 

 Now it is time to create the card base (made from a greyish brown cardstock from the DCWV Naturals Stack) and the layers to go on the front of the card.

 

 

 

 The vision of the card includes the sentiment off to the right and will add embellishments to the left. So to begin, attach a strip of the yellow cardstock towards the bottom of the card. Stamp the sentiment.

 

 

 For the flowers, I fussy-cut a few of the flowers from the patterned paper. To add dimension to the card, I used a foam dot on the larger flower.

 

 

 At first I thought the card would be finished, however, it felt like it was missing something. So out came some fun DCWV Gem Stickers.

 

 

The gems were added to the top right corner of the card for the finishing touch!

  

 

Thank you for stopping by today!

Day 355- Thursday Sketch

I decided to make a masculine birthday card for Thursday's sketch. Most of my cards tend to be girl-y, so I decided to switch it up some!

I used kraft cardstock to make a 5x7 card. The patterned papers is from My Mind's Eye. Stampablilites and Studio G stamps were used, both stamped in brown ink. Raffeta ribbon was used to embellish the center of the card.
