Happy Birthday Teddy Bear

Hello all! I hope you all enjoyed the blog hop over the weekend! Did any of you win anything? I had one lucky winner of the Stampin' Up! Sale-a Bration stamp set on my blog. She will be getting it by the end of the week! On to my Teddy Bear birthday card.


I used alot from my stash- but am really happy with the outcome. What do you think?

Happy Birthday Brother in Law!

Today's post is not the springy posts I've been posting this week. Today's post is a card I made for my brother in law. I used an ATC card from a swap I was in. This beautiful ATC card was made by Tammy Reidy. I thought it was perfect for a male inspired birthday card. I used ribbon from my stash, and the stamped sentiment is from a Stampin Up set. I also had some embossed card panels in my stash for the base. I made this card for my brother in law, Kevin. He and my sister are enjoying themselved in Las Vegas right now!!! I told them to stuff me in their suitcases! They didnt like that idea! HAHA! Have a Happy Hump Day everyone!

Happy Birthday Card for Nathan

Here is a card I made for my brother for his birthday. Hopefully he doesnt see this, as he hasnt gotten his card yet! It will be mailed today...

I used the Tim Holtz Patchwork embossing folder. Did lots of distressing, added some sheer ribbon, a heat embossed Happy Birthday Sentiment using part of a SU stamp. I used a Tim Holtz Trinket pin that says Treasure on it. I really like those pins. I need to get myself some more of them. This card was simple- but only becaue I didnt know what else to add for a man.

Happy Birthday Nathan!

Please let me know what you think! I love comments!

Strawberry Birthday Card

Today's post is a card I made for my mother for her birthday. I have been wanting to use that cute strawberry from Indie Art, and found the perfect way to use it! I like to use the Mojo Monday Blog for ideas and some mojo. They never fail on giving me the mojo I need! :) Below is the picture of the sketch, and the photos of the card I made. HERE is the link to the post.

I used an SU punch and a computer generated sentiment on the front. The copper dots are Viva Decor Pearl Pen. Stampin Up! Hemp Twine was used in place of ribbon. I also used the Stampin Up top note die to make the beautiful light brown shape on the base. Used stickles to decorate the strawberry- but before that I ran it through my Sizzix Big Kick and the swiss dots embossing folder to emboss the strawberry. I also chalked the edges with Dark Brown Cat's Eye Chalk Ink! Please let me know what you think! Thanks! :)

Happy Birthday Steph!

This card I made for a good friend of mine! I sure hope she likes it! Happy Birthday Steph!

I used a Stampin Up stamp for the sentiment, and a stamped image that was colored I got from Peachy! Thanks so much hun! :) I distressed the edge of the stamped image, and inked both stamped sentiment and image with timber brown Staz-On ink. I chalked the edges of the base of the card with VersaMagic Chalk ink.

Please let me know what you think!

Have a wonderful day!

Simple Birthday Card

Here is a simple birthday card that I made for a swap for the Cricut Messageboard. I had to make 10 of them, so I tried keeping it as simple as possible. I heat embossed the cupcake image. Then while it was still hot, I sprinkled iridescent glitter on it (hard to tell in the picture) to add a bit of kick to it. Then I dry embossed the purple with divine swirls cuttlebug folder. I chalked the edges of the dark green background to brighten the card up a bit.

Please let me know what you think!

Enjoy your day!

Similar Children's Birthday Cards

This stamped image was from a stamped image swap. Cute little monkeys blowing bubbles... I thought, HEY! THIS WOULD BE CA-UTE FOR A CHILD BIRTHDAY CARD! So, I took that idea, and ran with it! I had some bright colored embossed card front panels. Number Collage and Happy Birthday Cuttlebug folders were used on these, along with a Stampin Up! stamp. I used Prismacolor Pencils to color the image, using the gamsol technique. I hope you like them as much as I do! Comments are great to let me know what you think!

Thanks for looking!

Happy Birthday Card for Kayla

Hello everyone! I am happy to show you a card I slapped together! HAHA! Yes, slapped together- made this card in 15 minutes while rushing out the door on Friday evening! I had some stamped images on hand, some embossed cardstock from a swap, so I quickly decided what I'd like to do. The birthday card was for a 17 year old girl. Hard to decide what to do, when they are that age! HAHA! So, I decided a Tilda stamp was appropriate, with the Happy Birthday embossed cardstock. I took some Distress ink over the cardstock (Tim Holtz Broken China). I colored the Tilda image with prismacolor pencils using the gamsol technique. I raised the image using pop dots, tied light blue grosgrain ribbon, added a swirl clip, and tada! I hope you like it! I impressed myself by getting this done that quickly, and was still happy with the outcome!

Skunk Bday Card

Here is the first boy card I made that I really like. Its funny and great for all ages!




I cut the skunk from Animal Kingdom, layered it, and chalked it before putting it on the shadow so the black didn't cover the image. I used pop dots to get the 3-D effect, and used 3 black brads to finish it off... I used a computer generated sentiment saying "Hope it doesn't stink." I used a stamp for the "Happy Birthday" Sentiment with Jet Black StazOn ink. I also used Gelly Roll Sakura white pen to add the final touches...I love how it turned out!

Birthday Card for my Mother in Law

I am really happy with how this card turned out!

HERE'S WHAT I DID:

For this card I used divine swirls as the embossed background. I chalked the edges of the sentiment with Purple Hydrangea and chalked the edge of the card with Aegean Blue. I went with alot of purple because this is her favorite color. I used the blue to kind of bring it all back in. I used 3 of my own dyed skittles. I used Frosted Lace Stickles on the cupcake edge for the frosted look. I used my opaque white Sakura Gelly Roll pen to put some dots on the "chocolate" color of the cupcake, and on the heart.

Birthday Card for my Sister in Law

I know it's not one of my best, but I do like how it turned out.

THE DETAILS:

The cupcake cut is from Gypsy Wanderings, and the background is embossed with swiss dots. I used stickles and JoAnn's Craft Essentials Crystal Glitter. I used Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive to apply the glitter. I used Timber Brown StazOn ink for the sentiment. I used VersaMagic chalk ink to chalk the edges of the sentiment and the edges of the card with Perfect Plumeria and Purple Hydrangea. I also used Eucalyptus colored Stickles on the lines of the cupcake. I then colored in the flower using the gamsol technique with Prismacolor Pencils. I then added little white dots with my sakura Gelly Roll opaque white pen to the flower and the edge of the sentiment. I also used pop dots to raise the cupcake for that 3-D effect.

Thank you, and HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
