Birthday Celebrations

 Here's a card I made for a man..... I know it's cute but he'll enjoy it....

 

I love this stamp set called Chicks with s sprinkle on top EB348 / by- Stampingbella, aren't thy just too cute?  I used my new stencil from MFT called Mini Cloud edges... and the words on the outside are from an OLD SU set called Upsy Daisy..... 

Now for the inside. 

 

I used the same cloud stencil and the words at the top are from the same Stampingbella  set as the Ice cream chicks.  The words just below that are from another OLD CTMH set called Happy Birthday / C1257, I used this set all the time 

Just add a little Ice Cream $$Money$$ and call it done.

Ladies- Birthday Card

Hi There,
Today I'm sharing a BD card I made for my Sister-in-law.... It's simple for mailing but still has some glitz.  See what you think;

This is the front, I told you it was simple... 

 

Just a bit of gilts with Washi tape at the bottom and a pretty scalloped edge from Spellbinders Card Creator  Curved Borders Two around the flower.  And the Flower is from IndigoBlu-Stamps called Anenome Comer Dinkie / A-D.  I just love this flower its just shaped so soft. The words outside and in are from CTMH set called Birthday Script B1208... Old.....

 

And this is the inside, very simple too, same scalloped edge and same flower just at the top with the edge of washi tape again. 

 No problems in the mail either....

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....!

Christmas 2019

 I'm trying to get started on some Christmas cards....
Here's one I've been playing with for a few years now and every time I try this stamp it just don't look right to me.  This year I worked at water coloring so tried it out on the stamp set.

 

The berry's are from Penny Black called "Berry Merry Christmas. And what I used  is Memento- Lady Bug on the berry's and Distress -pealed paint for the branches... Then I painted with Distress-Fired Brick over the berry's again.... Then misted it with Glimmer Mist-Gilded Gold...

The Merry Christmas die is from Memory Box called Grand Merry Christmas.

And that's it...................

Die Cutting

Hi Girls,
Today I'm posting about a discovery I found in the Hot Topics on Splitcoaststampers.  For me this was like a light bulb went on, and I though "Now why didn't I think of that". You know, we've all had this happen to us....maybe your light bulb has been on longer than mine, if so just skip this.
You know how your bottom plate (the one you use to cut with) on your Big Shot or what ever die cutting machine you use always bows and we're always having to flip it, or just put up with the cover in the plate. will in this weeks "Hot Topics" it talked about Self healing mats Here.  After reading and re-reading I ordered the  Dahle Ventage 10680 Self-Healing 5-layer cutting mat  9" X 12" .  It came last night, so I had hubby cut it in half so now I have two 9"x6" cutting mats... I did use a thin piece of cardboard for a shim, but let me say it Cuts Like a charm.... I am so please with it I had to post so maybe someone else will have a "Now why didn't I think of that" moment.

Have a Wonderful Day

Today's card is just  a burst of color.  I've used this stamp many times and love how it turns out every time.  The stamp is from Northwoods Rubber Stamps, called "Blackeyed Susan & Butterflies".  I just looked them up and there still around and have bunches of beautiful flower stamps.  Here's the link for  Northwoods Rubber Stamps.

 

I told you it was full of color..... For the background I couldn't make up my mind if I wanted lite blue or violet... so I split the difference and used both... I like the way it shows thru the Spellbinders Card Creator  called "Devine Eloquence"  I colored with my Zigs again, love them. The saying at the bottom is from the same CTMH set I used yesterday called "Birthday Script".

 

Haven't decided what to put on the inside yet, but it's beautiful I think........I can turn this card into a Bd, Get Well or just about anything like this....
