Faery Ink Birthday Card

Apr30

Hi There,

Sharing a birthday card that I made using the fairy for this month’s challenge over at Faery Ink using Fairy2 image.

Here is a close up:

I printed the image and coloured it in using my Spectrum Noir markers. Details of colouring image are below.

Then I fussy cut out the image.

I wanted her to look like she was floating in water and mystical, so I used watercolour paper and Ken Oliver Crafts Color Burst Turquoise and Ultramarine Blue. As the paper was drying I sprinkled some Sea salt onto the paper and just love the effect that it created. I also used my hot gun to dry the paper a little faster.

Positioned circle die from Lifestyle Crafts Cutting Dies – Nesting Circles to cut out the portion of the background that I wanted.

Next I cut out the dark blue background using AC Specialty Paper 5 x 7 foil with die cut from My Creative Time – Bunch of Fun Circle Dies.

Used Lifestyle Crafts Cutting Dies – Nesting Circles to cut out the larger circle and then embossed the circle with We R Memory Keepers Polka Dot Embossing Folder. Inked around the edges with Stampin Up! Tempting Turquoise Ink.

Lastly, I used the new free embossing folder that came with Simply Cards and Papercraft Magazine – Issue 148. I used DCWV Cardstock Neutrals paper and then once the image was embossed I used very light sandpaper to go over the image and bring out the white core to enhance the image.

I layered all of the above using 3M VHB tape.

Lastly, I stamped “Happy Birthday” from Jennifer Ellory – Bake a Cake Clear Stamps with VersaMark ink and Ranger Embossing Powder White – Extra Fine Detail

Spectrum Noir Markers Used:

Hair: GB1, GB3, GB6

Eyes: LG2, Gelly Roll Sakura #8 Pen

Wings: BT2, TB2 (Added Wink of Stella – Clear for sparkle)

Dress: BT2, TB2, IB2 (Added Wink of Stella – Clear for sparkle)

Birthday Bears

Apr20

Hi there,

Back to share a card that I made using Too Cute By Jessica Bears from Too Cute by Jessica – Birthday-Girl-Bears

and Too Cute by Jessica – Birthday Boy Bears for my Aunt’s birthday.

Sentiment on front of card is from JadededBlossom stamps “Party Animal”.

Dotted eyes with Gelly Roll Sakura #8 Pen. Used Wink of Stella – Clear on the pompoms and on the base of hat to add some extra sparkle.

I made the card so that the 2 front panels opened up to reveal the sentiment.

Here are some close-ups.

The bears were really fuzzy, but I put them through the Xyron, so they look a little bit scruffy. LOL! I still like how they turned out though. Hope you do too!

My aunt really loved her card. Made me very happy!

I used Cricut Design Space and my Cricut Explore to cut out all of the pieces. For the bears, I used the scoring tool and mulberry paper. Then I just outlined the pieces so that I could see them better. Wet around the outlines and pulled my bear pieces apart to make them fuzzy. Added some brown chalk to give the edges some added dimension.

On the inside, I added this sentiment from “Whatnot Sentiments Set Three – Your Next Stamp”.

Hope you like it too!!!

Birthday Card – It’s All About Zoo

Apr11

Hi There,

I went to the Kitchener Scrapfest this year and had a fantastic time. They had a contest for creating a card that matched a design layout and we had to pick a paint chip to match our colour scheme too! I was SOOOO HAPPY, when I found out I’d won the contest! What an honour to be picked among so many talented and wonderful ladies! I’d like to thank all of them SO much!

To make my card, I used the little elephant from Craftin Desert Diva’s – It’s All About Zoo. I inked the image with Memento – Tuxedo Black and coloured the image in with Spectrum Noir Markers.

Here is a close up.

Craftin Desert Diva’s Fancy Frames were used to cut out my backround.

Used Wink of Stella – Clear to give the background a little bit of glitter here and there.

Background Paper: Birthday Wishes – Specialty Collection

Flags – Craftin Desert Diva’s – Party Dies. Cut the flags out twice to get the 2 colours.

Highlight for eyes: Gelly Roll Sakura #8 Pen

Here is a close up:

To make this I uploaded the image into Cricut Design Space and used my Cricut Explore to cut out the images. Inked around all of the edges and then ran the pieces through my Xyron’s. Makes it so much easier to put the pieces together. LOL!

The background paper is Forever In Time Paper Craft Collection – Cupcake Craze, which I picked up from our local dollar store. I just love how it went with this card.

The lettering is from Forever in Time Scrapbook Collection – Sticker Trendz – SS460A.

I cut out the borders with Craftin Desert Diva’s Fancy Frames. This has to be one of my favourite cutting die sets that I own.

My Creative Time: Fun Vertical Greetings were used for the frames around the wording! I really love this set too!

I dotted the eyes using Gelly Roll Sakura #8 Pen. Lastly, I added in a little bit of Craftin Desert Diva’s – Posies sequins.

Mar13

Hi There, Sharing a birthday card that I made for my sister-in-law, who’s name is “Kitty”. I thought Candio – SVG Cuts from the Miss Kitty blog hop would be perfect for her birthday. This .svg was only available during the blog hop.

Used Gelly Roll Sakura #8 Pen for the eyes on the balloon and Candio. Also on the bow.

Then cut a small whole into the balloons and added some twine from American Crafts – Premium Ribbon.

The borders were cut with a combination of Craftin Desert Diva’s Fancy Frames and My Creative Time -Stitched Rectangular Frames and More. Used 3M VHB – 2 sided tape between the layers of the base card. Hope you like it!

Minion Birthday Card

Aug30

Hi There,

Made this birthday card for my Super husband.

He means the world to me and I’m not to sure what I’d do without him.

My husband loves the minions, so I thought this would be a really cute card for him.

The Superman minion .svg file was from the SVG Cuts “Super Hero” Blog Hop!” on April 24, 2015.

Background cupcake pattern is from DCWV – Everyday Stack 6″ x 6″ paper pad.

Other background paper was found at the dollar store, so not sure who makes it. I thought it looks great for a birthday background though.

I used my Cuttlebug and Quickutz Nesting Frame 7 dies from We R memory keepers to cut out the shapes.

This is the inside of the card. I realized that I spelled “Your” wrong and fixed it to “You’re” with a marker later. Oops!

The Wonder woman minion .svg file was from the SVG Cuts “One in a “Minion” Blog Hop!” on June 12, 2015. The file was only available at the time of the hop.

To make this card, I imported the .svg files into Cricut Design Space and then used the Cricut Explore to cut out the pieces.

LOVE my Cricut Explore!!!

For the sentiments, I used the Magneto font in Microsoft Word and then just printed it out on my printer and cut around the wording.

Hope you like it! My husband thought it was pretty funny.

Pink Bear Birthday Card

Aug20

Hi There,

I’m back to share a birthday card that I made for my niece’s birthday.

I used the .svg freebie that I had received from KaDoodle Bugs Designs – Cuddly Pink Bear. I thought this bear was just so adorable.

I imported the file into Cricut Design Space and then used the Cricut Explore to cut all of the pieces.

For the bear, I used the embossing tool because I didn’t want to cut the Mulberry Paper (Nicole Handmade Mulberry Paper). Instead, I just required the outlines so that I could wet around the images and then tear them a part.

Used my Cuttlebug to do the following:

The circle was cut with Lifestyle Crafts Cutting Dies – Nesting Circles. – 3rd largest die and Doodlebug Design Inc. –

Sugar Shoppe 6 x 6 paper pad.

Inked around the edges with Dew Drop Memento – Rose Bud.

The scallop was cut with WeR Memory Keepers – Quickutz Nesting Scallops – largest die.

Doily was cut from My Creative Time – Bunch of Stitched Doily Dies.

Used Inkssentials Glossy Accents for the nose and Wink of Stella Gl. White 000 for the hat.

Some stickles for the ice cream sprinkles.

Peel Offs – Happy Birthday Assortment for the sentiment.

Gelly Roll Sakura #8 Pen was used on the eyes for highlights and stitching around the scallops.

Pigma Micron #5 – Black was used for the eyelashes.

Hi There,

The .svg file was from the SVG Cuts “One in a “Minion” Blog Hop!” on June 12, 2015. The file was only available at the time of the hop.

To make this card, I imported the .svg file into Cricut Design Space and then used the Cricut Explore to cut out the pieces.

LOVE my Cricut Explore!!!

I needed to find some brick to put the characters up on, so I went shopping looking for an embossing folder or die cut. Couldn’t find any and then it dawned on me.

I have Cricut Design Space and my Cricut Explore. I could just make my own wall!!!!

I used the round corner rectangle and made various sizes, cut them out and placed them onto a solid colour. Voila! I had my brick wall.

For the background I used #Summer Paper Pad 6 x 6 in (15.2 x 15.2 cm) from American Crafts.

The sentiment is from Craftin Desert Divas – Little Super Star.

Balloons are from Frances Meyer – Stickers – (FST 955 Balloons).

White stitching around the pocket is made with

Thought I’d share a card with you that I made from my Craftin Desert Divas Just Bugcause stamps and dies.

I used the background paper from Patterned paper – Kaitlin – Recollections Signature 12 x 12 Paper Pad. Love this design.

I stamped the snail twice and coloured in the base, then cut out the shell from some paper I had mixed my Rangers Alcohol Inks on and thought it looked great for the shell.

I cut out the shell separately and placed it on top of the coloured snail. Spectrum Noire marker and Prismacolor Premier Pencils were used to colour in the snail.

Used my Cricut Explore to cut out the sun from Cricut Cartridge – Create A Critter – #M37746.

Grass – Cricut Cartridge – Ribbons & Rosettes – #M41AB5.

For the face on the sun,
