Once stamped I colored with copics and added stickles to the hearts on the shorts.

This will be my hubby's birthday card this year. I am pretty sure my son will tell me he wants his own card for his dad this year. LOL!

Hope Your Birthday

USEIT2020 - Sticker strip

This card is probably going to be my favorite card for Valentines Day. I even told DH that if he wants to give me a card for Valentines day that this is the card to give me. LOL!

I used a stencil and put gel medium through it then sprayed tan tattered lace over once the gel medium was dry. Cut the layers and used some scrap DPs and the top heart is old wall paper left from doing our kitchen at our old home. Finished with lace, button and fancy fiber made to a flower. The banner heart is a sticker in my stash of stuff I am trying to use up.

Week of 2/1/20 Cards

 FS677 - This weeks Featured Stamper is absolutely incredibly talented Angela Bode aka ohmypaper! I have been in love with her cards for as long as I have been on SCS and am so thrilled to see her be the Featured Stamper this week. Congrats sweet friend!!!!
USEIT2020 - Teacups
When I saw this CARD I knew I needed to use up more of the stack of teacups from my stash.
I bought a bunch of doilies when I was making cards for the band because I was going to go the quick route and use doilies for the lace. Well we did not go the quick route and now I have a bunch of doilies so seeing Angie's card I thought perfect inspiration.
I used grey paper rather than coloring the card base and I did not have a teacup stamp but I had a bunch of these already die cut teacups. I popped mine on dimensionals and added already punched flowers. I finished off with a white gel pen adding the steam and some nuvo drops on the flowers.

Teacup

 CAS570 - Go for the Gold

Punched the leaves and sponged on different colors of green, teal and orange. Heat embossed the birthday wish in Gold on brown and embossed the kraft layer. Used dimensionals under the leaves edges to give them dimension.

I liked this design so much I made a few of them. Good thing because a couple of family members have asked for a few birthday cards recently.

Outdoor Birthday

 CC776 Flirty Flamingo, Poppy Parade, & Bermuda Bay

I colored this sweet image in today's colors (adding grey for my neutral).

Cut the layers and finished off with ribbon and popped the 70 on dimensionals.

My mom is giving this to my aunt for her 70th birthday. She asked for an elephant for her birthday card because those are her favorite animal. Well I found this great one from Whimsy Stamps and the trunk is up. It is good luck to have a trunk up so this was spot on perfect. I hope she loves the card.

Happy 70th!

I partially embossed the base layer with a small heart emboss folder. Then layered the hearts popping the large red and the top DP on dimensionals.
