Sassy 21st Birthday

I can hardly believe it and it makes me feel old but my baby sisters daughter, my goddaughter, just turned 21!!!! You know what they say, time flies when your having fun :)

I'd like to share the card I made for her.

I stitched a couple lines on the bottom of my kraft card stock to give the illusion of a floor. I used some wonderful number dies I just rec'd from Paper Smooches to cut out the #21.

I wanted to make it a shaker card, so I covered the back side of the punched out 21 with a piece of transparency. Then framed it, very close to the numbers, with foam tape and poured in some seed beads. I then attached  a green card stock base to it.

My sassy little gal with the sunglasses was cut on my Cameo with a Silhouette Studio cut file.

Some alphabet stickers and a rub on complete the title.

Supplies used: card stock - kraft, green, yellow, peach, red, brown; patterned paper - Crawford in Darling Dear by Studio Calico; vellum; transparency - Staples; Silhouette Studio cut file; alphabet stickers - SEI; rub on - EK Success; foam tape - Staples; seed beads - Mill Hill; number dies - Paper Smooches; sewing machine.

Herd It's Your Birthday

I just love a play on words! It's so fun making cards that have a twist. I think there seriously needs to be a book out with all the puns and plays on words in it to use as a reference. I would have so much fun using it :)

Here is a little birthday card I made using a little play on words and a couple of my Cricut cartridges.
I designed the sentiment in my Print Shop program. A cute little wood veneer cow really adds to the scene.

Supplies used: card stock - kraft, vanilla, green, red, 2 shades of tan, brown, black; patterned paper - BoBunny; wood veneer - Studio Calico; Country Life and Elegant Edges Cricut cartridges; fonts - Signboard and Great Vibes; Pop Dots.

Whimsical Designs "Vintage" Challenge

This week over at Whimsical Designs we are going "Vintage"

Our challenge this week is to create a project with a vintage feel. So get that shabby chic mojo flowing and come and join us with your old fashioned creation.

Our sponsor for this weeks challenge is Scrapping Memories and the winner will receive 5 files of their choice!!

For my card I picked some papers by Authentique and 7 Gypsies. I sewed some lace to one of the papers and did some inking, some layering and some more sewing. I topped it with a vintage frame by Melissa Frances and put a pretty little epoxy sticker by SEI, tied with a bow, inside the frame. Added a couple vintage buttons tied together with twine. For the finishing touch I stamped one of Stepahnie's sentiment stamps from her Everyday Sentiments set.

Supplies used: card stock - blue; patterned papers - Clean and Clear from Fresh by Authentique, Orchestra by 7 Gypsies; ribbon and lace trim - Michaels; Vintage Frames by Melissa Frances; twine - Liz's Paper Loft Boutique; epoxy sticker in Lovebirds by SEI; stamp - Everyday Sentiments by Whimsical Designs; ink - Tuxedo Black by Memento and Cocoa by ColorBox; sewing machine.
