Baking Birthday Trolls!

Apr4

Today I’m sharing a Birthday card using Craftin’ Desert Divas – Chef Trolls (Retired) stamp and sentiments that I made for my mom last month! She has always loved to bake, so I thought these were the perfect little images for her.

With a Cuttlebug and Photo-Play – Circle Windows Etched Dies, I die cut Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card cardstock and Echo Park – Birthday Girl – Bouncing Balloons cardstock. With some scrap paper, I die cut the floral scalloped circle using dies from the same set.

I created a base card to the size of 8.5″ x 3.5″ using Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb. cardstock.  The edges of the the scalloped circle and patterned die cut were inked with a finger dauber and Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Saltwater Taffy. Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Kitsch Flamingo and a finger dauber were used to ink all of the edges of the large patterned die cut and then it was attached directly to the base card using liquid glue.

Using my MISTI and Memento – Tuxedo Black ink, the images were stamped onto the Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card cardstock circles. These were coloured in with Copic markers listed below and then applied to the base card using liquid glue. The sentiment was applied to the scalloped circle using a MISTI and Versa Fine – Onyx Black ink. Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail embossing powder was applied to the ink and heat embossed with a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. I applied the circle from the base card into the centre circle using liquid glue and then applied some Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Saltwater Taffy around the circle. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to scalloped circle and 3 balloon brads and they were all popped up onto the card. Lastly, using various Stickles listed below, I added some sparkle to the small dots on the patterned paper to finish it off.

Old Fart!

Apr1

Today I’m sharing a birthday card using Whimsy Stamps – Old Geezer and sentiments from their Old Fart stamp set and Old Fart Word Die that I made for my younger brother this week! Couldn’t resist teasing him about getting older and entering into his 60’s!. LOL!

I began making my card by creating a 5.5″ x 4.25″ base made from Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock. I used 3 circles that were cut out with Photo-Play – Circle Windows Etched Dies and Echo Park – Birthday Girl – Bouncing Balloons from a previous card that I made. Tim Holtz Distress Inks: Salty Ocean and a blender brush were used to colour the white circle and then the same ink was used to ink the edges around the other 2 circles and card base.

The image was stamped onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card with Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and a MISTI. It was coloured in with the Copics listed below and then fussy cut. Using the MISTI again for placement, I stamped the sentiments using Versa Fine – Onyx Black ink. This was then embossed with Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail embossing powder and then heat embossed with a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. With a Cuttlebug and dies from Whimsy Stamps – Old Fart Word die set and Art Impressions – Journal Letter Die Set, I die cut out the sentiments with black cardstock.

To assemble the card, I used liquid glue to attach the die cut wording and “60” onto the circles. All of the circles were applied to the base card using liquid glue. The main image was popped up onto the base card using U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape. I also added a few more fun sentiments from the same stamp sets on the inside of the card too! LOL!  My brother loved his card and I hope you do too!
