Birthday Paw-ty!

May25

Today I’m sharing a Birthday card using KLM Digital Design – Little Boy Gnome & Pup from the new May 2024 release that I made. This image also comes with 2 more sentiments, “sit happens!” and “the journey of life is sweeter when travelled with a dog”.

To make this card, I began with a 5.5″ x 4.25 base card using Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb.. My Creative Time – Rectangle Frame Die Layers was used to die cut the balloon and party patterned paper from Doodlebug Design Inc. – Party Time paper pad. Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Faded Jeans was then applied to all of the edges around the die cuts. Next, Lawn Fawn – Simple Grassy Hillsides and the Rectangle Frames were used to cut the little bits of grass out of green cardstock.

The image and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. The image and sentiment were coloured in with Copic markers and then I added some extra fur onto the dog by applying PrismaColor Pencils. The freckles were applied to the cheeks using Gelly Roll Sakura #8 Pen. The sentiment was applied directly onto the base card on the inside using double-sided tape.

The card was now ready to put together. I applied the balloon patterened paper directly to the base card using double-sided tape. The lighter green grass was attached directly to the confetti die cut with double-sided tape. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to both the image and also the darker grass, as well as, the confetti die cut. These were all layered onto the centre front of the card.

A Little Birdie Told Me…

Dec19

Today, I’m sharing a masculine birthday card using KLM Digital Design – Birds Nest Gnome from the new December release. This image also comes with 2 more sentiments, “Spread your wings & fly” and “Just popping in to say hello“.  It looks like this little birdie told all of his friends too because they’re all ready to party with their hats on. LOL!

Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock was used to create a 5.5″ x 4.25″ card base.  I cut the paper from Doodlebug Design Inc. – Party Time paper pack to the sizes of 5.5″ x .75″ and 5.5″ x 3.5″ and applied them directly to the base card. .5″ x 4.25″ was applied across the bottom and the thin stripe is 4-7/8″ x 1/8″.  The edges were inked around the card using  Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Ink – Chipped Sapphire.

The image and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. Using a Cuttlebug, I die cut the image using Lawn Fawn – Zig Zag Rectangle Stackables. The image was coloured in with Copic Markers listed below and then popped up onto the base using U-Line double-sided foam tape. The sentiment was fussy cut and then applied with glue to a scrap piece of navy blue cardstock. Once again, I fussy cut around it and then applied U-Line double-sided foam tape and popped it up onto the card. Lastly, I added some Stickles – Diamond to the pompoms on the hats.
