Pineapple Card for Morgan

Hi Everyone,

This card was made by request by my daughter for one of her friends.  These 14 year old girls either seem to like Cactus or Pineapples.  I don't know what the attraction is with spiky things but apparently it is the latest craze.  Typo (the store) was full of all sorts of these types of things when we went gift shopping for the Birthday girl.


I didn't have a pineapple stamp so I went online in search of a Digi stamp I could use which I printed out onto card and I coloured it with my alcohol pens, then fussy cut it. I am 100% confident that the Birthday girl will get a kick out of this card (ie like it) because her Party Invitation was printed with a Pineapple on it too.  



Here's her party invitation, lol.




The cardstock I've used is Basic Black and Whisper white with some background paper added from the In Colour paper stack.  The Whisper White layer has been embossed with the Decorative dots embossing folder.  Here's the full pic of the card.




The greeting comes from the vintage stamp set Well Scripted and is punched out with the Extra large oval punch then raised up on dimentionals as was my fussy cut pineapple.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a lovely day.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge as I d

JAI176 - Just Add Blokes & CCMC 2nd Entry

Hi Everyone, I thought this weeks Just Add Ink challenge - "Just Add Blokes" was a great opportunity to get in and make a Male card .  For those of you outside Australia, "Blokes" is another name for Men. Today I'm using Mosaic Madness bundle set teamed with a greeting from Loving Thoughts stamp set.  I don't understand why, but the simplest cards seem to take me the longest.  I agonise over them, and yet I can make something much more involved quicker, when I have a clear vision in mind. I've taken the colours for this card from the colour challenge this week for Create with Connie and Mary so this card is doing double duty for both challenges. Here we are The cardstock is Berrmuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White and Smoky Slate per the colour challenge.  Here is a closer look at the Mosaics.  The Bermunda bay one is raised on dimentionals. This picture below gives you a closer look at the greeting. Thanks so much for stop
