Happy Birthday Karree

Hello Everyone,

March is a Birthday month in our household with quite a few in the extended family marked on the calendar as well as some friends, but today is a special one.  It's my daughter Karree's 15th birthday today and she wanted a themed card to go with the cake she made for herself.  Let me prewarn you that this post is photo heavy.  I'll start with the card I've made.

She wanted a Minion card.  There are quite a lot on the internet one you start looking, but of course I wanted mine to be different.


I created a round card, to go with the cake my daughter wanted to make herself.   The idea though was a CASE of one seen on Pinterest by Gill Prescott.  Hers was a square card.

Essentially its just circles - Circle collection framelits and circle punches in various sizes.  I've joined 2 circles together to create a card that will open, hinged on the inside.  Some buttons were added to the blue overalls and a little Marina Misk ink was sponged just on the blue card.
 


She loved the card.  Next I'll show you her Cake Creation to go with it.



And the Birthday girl cleaning up the aftermath....thank goodness she did the benches.  I still have the floor to do though.

Cleanup in progress ... lol    she says she wasn't ready for a photo.  No kidding, my pantry doors wide open.   The final photo below is of the Birthday Girl herself, this morning just before we left for school.  She curled her hair specially.  Sorry it's not a better photo though.  We should have shut the back door first. 


Thanks for dropping by on Karree's Birthday.  I hope to get a much nicer photo of her tonight that I can post on FB.  See you tomorrow.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len
