Double Chrysanthemum

 This is the first time I've posted since Blogger changed...I was unable to get it to work and think it is now.... we'll see....

Today's post is a Double Chrysanthemum front fold Birthday Card.  

I used this for a Sympathy card about a month ago and loved it so much though I'd used the same for a BD card....See what you think!

Here's the front... I used 2 little close pins to keep it closed to get a pic...

The Happy Birthday is stamped on the inside and it shows thru to the front so I didn't have to mess up my flower. 

this is the back......

one side open...

and the whole inside......a really cute sentiment too... room to write something, not much but enough....

I used the PoerPoppy stamp set- Chrysanthemum XL and matching Die....

Just LOVE the flower...put a little bling here and there on it, and even a little gold paint too...  

Will what do you think????

Manly Birthday

Today I'm showing you another Manly Bd card... the hardest cards for me.  But the last few have gotten a little easier...
Here's the front closed view.  Not bad so far........

 

I just LOVE these Candles from Rubbernecker Stamps 60-020304 and I got the Die set to match... For the background I used My Favorite Things stencil Cloud Edges, and to color the candles I used my ZIG's Color brushes.

OH! and my little close pin was just used to keep the card closed so I could get a good pic.

  

Now this is the inside..... That brut of a Guy was from Art Impressions-Backyard Boss-4377.  He's really fun to use and he worked out nicely for this card I though.  You'll see what I mean on the next pic....

 

See when you open the card fully you get the whole affect.... I've been making several of the ti-fold card and like how this one worked out the best. 

Will what do you think?????

Buzzin' By

 It's been a while since I posted, but had to share this quit little Bee card I made.  I took the idea from Nicole Spohr (click on her name and it will take you to her card) ti-fold cards that she does... I didn't have the stamp set she used but had one in my stash that I used many, many times but never like this.
Here we go, this is the card unfolded...

I used the Stampin'Up set called just Buzzin'By, I used everything in that set and also some of the flowers and bugs from the CTMH set called Wonderful Charms.... Love both sets and have used them often.  For my background I used a embossing folder called Retro Squares and then hit it with some Mustard Seed Distress ink.  Not really honey cones but it was the closed thing I had.
And here's the card folded...

 

And one more kind of open...

Will that's it... Hope I did Nicole  proud....!

Flippin Diet Lady's Birthday

 Here's a card I really enjoyed making..... Had these Ladies Flippin stamps for a few years now but only used a few... this is my first try with this one....
See what you think.

 

I made this for my Daughter-in-law and like all of us she is always battling with her weight.  Sooo when I was thinking of her card I came across this one and had to give it a try.... 

Some people can take this kind of card and enjoy the fun it is intended.... I know she will love it and look forward to her reaction....

Water Lilies

 Yesterday I made this card up and wanted to share it with you.... It went together very quickly so know I'll be making more.

 

Now isn't that an easy card..... I stamped the Water Lilies at the bottom of some Bristol and then colored it with with ZIG pens, cut away the bottom part and popped that up to give some poff. Then  placed a small piece of blue CS at the bottom with the, "thinking of you"embossed with white.  and that's it....

 

Here's another view....

 

and the inside I used the same blue CS and stamp.....

Will what do you think... Easy or what???

Over the hill?????

Hi All,
Today I'm sharing 2 cards made almost the same way...... Both for men, the hardest cards for me to make, so when I get something that works I though I'd go with it.
Here we go.........

Yep this is another sexy older man...... just look at the legs on this guy.... OMG.
Be still my heart, Let me get back to the post here....
This is Norm from Art Impressions (UMI1240)  I did my coloring with Zig's again and used the saying from CTMH called Just a Number Occasions (D1514).  Papers are just old stash trying to use things I have, don't you have piles of beautiful paper you got for something and have left over's..... will for me it's TIME to use this paper up.
Here's a close up of them,

and the other one......


and now for the insides....

Those #@&* BIRDS!!!

Hi Everyone!

I know it's been MONTHS since I posted but had family things to do... Will be trying to post at lest once a week again but can't make any promises..... 

For today's post I'm sharing my card for my Hubby's BD coming up in July.... 

We had a dock put in a few months ago and the birds have been sitting and pooping all over it... Will this will not do to have poop all over so it's been a war for my Hubby and so much FUN to watch.... This stamp set by Art Impressions called Hollis (UMYY1901) captured him completely and had to do something for him with it...

here we go.

Now is this not just the most pissed off Bird watcher you have ever seen.....?
I used Water color paper then embossed the image... did my coloring with the ZIG clean color real brush and some Ranger inks for the edges.... On his BiNocks I put some Glossy Accents.  The saying I made on my computer and used a die to cut it out.  Its pushed up in the center and taped flat on both ends.

Now for the inside.... O M G


I know this is what our birds are saying.... but all hubby can see is the poop.....
Yes these are the Tim Holtz Bird Crazy (CMS212) set... and I used my Zig's again to color them... the two sayings in the bubbles I made on my computer and cut them out with the Die set from Lawn Fawn called A Birdie Told Me (LF485)... love this die set and have used it many times...
