Masculine Birthday Card

For You...

My mom asked me to make a card for her friend's birthday, something bright and cheerful. I decided to make a card using the new Kind & Caring Thoughts hostess level 3 set.


I used one piece of the retired Walk in the Park designer series paper for the right panel, and the other I stamped the large flower in versamark and white craft ink on a piece of Kiwi Kiss cardstock.

The pearls and ribbon are not SU!

Lots of Bots!

This card was made using the Lots of Bots set... which I love... they're just TOOO cute!

I used the nut, bolt and screw stamp repeatedly in versamark on the background, and Stampin' Pastels and my markers with the blender pen to color in the robot.

New Home Congrats card

So friends of ours just bought their first home and I wanted to make a card for them... Thanks to Phil for the inspiration - he wanted me to make them a card in the shape of a house (fitting!) so here it is!The roof is made layering pieces of Chocolate Chip cs punched using the scallop edge punch. For the "on your new home" stamped greeting, I repurposed a couple of the stamps from "Sweet Little Sentiments" in order to spell out what I wanted it to say, and of course, used my stamp-a-ma-jig!!! I am very happy with how it turned out!
