HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Good morning, haha! I thought these bright colors would be fun for a little boy but wow- HAPPY BIRTHDAY! haha! 

Today's card uses the latest CAS Colours and Sketches altho it prrrobably is not super CAS... Oh well, I liked the sketch and I like how it worked out.

Tho I do need to re-ink my Granny Apple Green pad....

Supplies:

Stamps: Party Wishes

Ink: Mango Melody, Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green

Paper: Basic White & Granny Apple Green card stocks

Accessories: Transparent Dots 

Paper Pumpkin for Birthdays!

Well, I don't know how your month is going, but I am feeling pretty darn good about working on the goals I set for myself! I have managed to walk every week day, I have read every week day, and I'm doing great with my papercrafting goals too! 

Today, in fact, I'm showing off a very old Paper Pumpkin kit I still haven't used all the bits from, hahaha! This was from June of 2015, and this is what I made this past weekend:

Supplies:

Stamps: Party Wishes, Perfect Pennants, Sending You Thoughts
Ink: memento Black, Bermuda Bay, Just Jade
Paper: basic white card stock
Accessories: Happy Thoughts Paper Pumpkin kit (June 2015)

That's six more birthday cards!! And I've selected exactly who three are going to!
And this is what is still left over! But I called it quits, haha.... 

The DP was all supposed to be envelope liners. The top of the wood bits made the center bottom card. Fun, huh? I am pretty excited. The buttons are in my button jar, the twine is with my other embellishments, and the rest are all flat and fit nicely in my over-full book of bits.

Maybe one of these days I'll get my craft room done and show you what I'm talking about. hahaha... don't hold your breath.... I have other things to do!

Retired birthday berries!

Hello again! More retired product today.
Today's card is for someone in particular who is a HUGE fan of berries, haha. I had to pull out this Sale-A-Bration set that retired in February. I used the Fab Friday Sketch, hmm....mostly....? and the birthday theme from Global Design Project for this card. Quick, sweet and perfectly mailable! 

Supplies:

Stamps: Berry Blessings (retired), Party Wishes (long retired)
Ink: Granny Apple Green, Poppy Parade, Rich Razzleberry, Garden Green
Paper: Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green & Basic White card stocks, Berry Delightful DP (retired)

And it's already gone out in the mail! 

Missing my stamps....

Yes, I know, I missed a whole week of posting, plus. but......my house is listed, if that counts for anything!
(it totally counts at my house!!!)

I haven't created anything myself lately, I even had to miss out on some deadlines! But I do have a few stamped samples to share with you today, in case you need some inspiration!
These are all so fun and pretty in their own way and I love the variety of colors! I hope you do too!

Pink Birthday Swaps!

I really do love being a part of the Cards In The Mail swap and getting all the pretty cards from everyone else. This round, it literally took me til the very deadline before I got my cards out...but I got them in the mail on time!

I used the TGIF Remix for my card. I picked their sketch and color combo.
This is my original design...

Supplies:

Stamps: Party Wishes

Ink: Blushing Bride, Melon Mambo marker, Rich Razzleberry

Paper: Melon Mambo, Blushing Bride, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White card stocks, Love Blossoms DP

Accessories: Paper Doilies, Love Blossoms Embellishment Kit (ribbon), Dimensionals

Annnd then I ran out of DP! So I substituted this floral print instead... 

And then on the very last one, I ran out of ribbon!!! ACK! So someone gets a unique card with white organza ribbon instead!

But I'm enjoying the birthday card revival and I like the card I sent out this month. I hope they do too! haha.....

#imbringingbirthdaysback

The last card I designed for my Birthday Card Class might possibly have ended up my favorite one. I'm not usually a huge fan of Brights, but I'm liking this one. This one can go to anyone at all, and even fits my husband's requirements for birthday cards- showing some kind of cake or balloons! Done and done! haha!

I used a recently passed Retro Sketch for the layout, and while I used birthday stamps from the Occasions Mini, I used DP from the main catalog. And because I used Occasions Mini products, I can link up with the Nacho Average Challenge blog too!

Supplies:
Stamps: Party Wishes
Ink: Crushed Curry, Cucumber Crush, Watermelon Wonder
Paper: Cucumber Crush, Watermelon Wonder, Crushed Curry & Whisper White card stocks, Cherry on Top DP
Accessories: Party Punch Pack (balloon), Hexagon Punch (flagged ends), Dimensionals

And all we have to do is mail out the birthday cards!
What about you? Are you ready to "bring birthdays back" and mail them out to your loved ones??
