Happy 18th Birthday

Hi Everyone,

My daughter is going to another party for one of her friends tonight and this is the card I've made for her.  I would call this style Fresh Vintage.  The patterned paper is from the pack called Falling In Love which I teamed with some of the SAB Glimmer, a little lace and a die cut Butterfly.





The cardstock is Sweet Sugarplum, Very Vanilla and Soft Sky (inside).  The framelits I've used are Butterfly, Stitched Shapes and Large Numbers.  Here's a closer look at how the butterfly sits on the cardfront, over the glimmer paper.  The vintage look really comes from the patterned paper.  I think this side of the sheet with all the butterflies is so pretty.  I have used one of my older "vintage" aka retired stamp sets called Well Scripted for the beautiful birthday greeting, stamped in Sweet Sugarplum, cut with the Stitched Shapes and inked around the edge with Tip Top Taupe in and raised on dimentionals on the card.  You can see its raised in this pic.




This picture shows the popout area inside the card for the Age which was cut with the Large Number framelits in Soft Sky & Sweet Sugarplum Glimmer paper (from SAB).  I added a small border strip of Soft sky to both top and bottom of the inner card.




Some closeups:-

I put half a doily on the background at the top of the popout area and layered the numbers on each other for a slight shadow effect and to give them added strength and stability.




Hope the Birthday Girl loves it.

Have a great Easter weekend everyone.

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.

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
