Herringbone Birthday

 


F4A784 - Sequins

For my card, I did a quick herringbone technique using up a few different scrap papers from my stash. It is one of my go to designs to use a few different scraps and make a quilt feeling card for my MIL as she is a quilter and loves giving quilt style cards to her friends.

Christmas Bauble

 

WT1042 - Buttons and Bows

For my card, I used this cute Spellbinders die cut and created the bauble using Tiffany colors.

Once the ornament was created it was layered on some coordinating holiday papers and the card was finished with the sentiment and a few scattered gems.

Birthday Hat

 

SC1051 - this week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For my card, I cut the triangle layer then added some trimming to create the party hat using some scraps. Once the hat was created I layered on the balloon paper and added a few candy dots and the birthday sentiment popped up on dimensionals.

Heartini

 

CAS835 - National Bartender Day

For my card, I used a fun older Stampin Up set and stamped the image coloring up the image with copics.

I had a couple of designer paper scraps that worked great together and I added some matting. The card was finished with a few heart sequins.

Birthday Balloons

 


FS942 - this week's very talented featured stamper is NicholeC. I found this INSPIRATION.

Rather than doing ombre, I went bold with the colors. I kept the 3 balloons as were on the card but went with orange, pink and purple. I have some really gorgeous handmade paper in my collection that I picked up at a wonderful art store in Chicago and it was perfect for a starting point on my card.

I added some additional layering using some coordinating papers then added the purple for layering.

Once layered, I finished with the punched balloons and added some bakers twine with a couple of dimensionals to the top balloons.

Pumpkin Pie Thanks

 

IC1003 - Everything Kitchens and Pinterest - INSPIRATION

Oh, that pie looks so yummy. For my card, I pulled out this great pie die cut set from Papertrey Ink and cut out pumpkin pie pieces adding some whip cream and added a bit of sponging and white highlights to the pie and crust. The whip cream has a bit of stickles.

The layout was created and a satin ribbon was added on the boarder to add some additional textures, and the card was finished with a few sequins and the sentiment banner.

Black and White Mothers Day

Challenges:
As You Like it Challenge - Femine or Masculine - This is really tough to choose. I have more nephews in my family and so I try to focus on making cards for all of them. Femine cards are really easy to make. I do try to make several neutral cards so that I could add a few flowers and jazz it up for female if needed for a quick card. (Top 3 Winner)
