Another birthday card.

July is full of birthdays and so many fun opportunities to make Birthday cards!!
I made this one for my friend Debbie.
I have a few birthday cards on hand...but sometimes we need to make a special card for a special person.

I had this image that I had coloured earlier and I just love this image from MFT's Pure Innocence line...I think it is called  Happy Mail, I have used her a lot, she is just so darn cute and that bird on the mail box 💗
I created this card up at our cottage, so I used the papers (Cut & Paste by MME) and supplies that I keep up here (which is quite a bit actually) to create this card.

I did bring this Stamping Up stamp set called "Happy Birthday, Everyone" especially for this card and then decided to leave it up here.
Can you believe this is the first time I have used this set!!
I think it was a Hostess set from when I hosted a SU party a couple of years ago.

Yes I really do make this much mess creating one card, teehee.
Here is my work area up at our cottage.
I am so so so overly excited that I have my own little room dedicated for my crafts in our new cottage.
Well it is for my crafts and there is a futon in here as well for guests.
My husband keeps teasing me when I say its my craft room...he says its the spare room or the guest room.....or even his fishing room.
But I have caught him more than once referring to it as my craft room....brain washing really does work, teehee.
I will share more on this area in another post.

But seriously, how can you beat this view.
I can open the window and chat with anyone on the deck.
And I can admire our little lake and listen to the loons while creating.
Now you all know why I love it here so much.

I hope you all have a very creative day today and enjoy your view.

Tea on Me

It was my friend Lynne's birthday last week.
She love tea, so I made her a teapot card.
Isn't this such a cute die!
The die is by Poppystamps and is called Teapot Stack.
I have to say I sure made a mess cutting all of these little pieces out, but it was so worth it as it is so cute!!

Here is the inside of the card.
I used the left over pieces from the background to use on the inside.

Here is the sketch I used for this card.

And a link to the challenge..MFT challenge.

I hope you all have a creative day :)

Janus' Baby Boy Card

Yup, another baby boy card :)
This one is for my daughter's friend Janus.
She is also having a baby boy :)
I used some old paper that I have been saving forever…like 15 yrs forever!!
Yes I am a hoarder of paper…but isn't this background paper so cute.

I used my friends button punch for the buttons.
Each button has 3 layers of paper. I adhered the paper buttons on top of each other so they would be more sturdy.
I then used some twine in the button holes and tied them.
Lastly, I popped them up with some foam dots.

The card was looking a bit plain to me.
No matter where I put the greeting, it just didn't look right.
So I added some half back pearls to some of the button centres in the pattern paper.

Here is the inside of the card.
I thought this onsie was fitting for the button and baby pin theme of the paper.
It is a stamp and then I fussy cut it out of the pattern paper.
And my index card for the message.

I am entering another card sketch challenge…look at me go, lol.

This sketch is for the "MFT weekly sketch challenge".

I hope you enjoyed my card and you all have a very Creative Day :)

Heather's Birthday Card

I made a birthday card for my daughter's birthday today :)
When I told her I had to make her a card, she requested I use "one of the girls I like with the straight hair and stripped stockings"
So she picked out the image, and which colours I was to use, lol.

Here is a better photo of the coloured image as the photo above, seems kind of washed out.

I haven't coloured with my Copics in such a long time...and I can tell.

Here is the inside of the card :)

I should share a photo of my beautiful birthday girl :)

I find it so hard to believe she is 25 today...where has the time gone?!

This is a very rare photo of Heather as she Never wears make up.

But this was from her sister's wedding, so she let them doll her up.

One of my (many) goals this year is to join more challenges...which I am failing at by the way.

So before starting this card, I went looking for some sketch challenges and found this fun one from My Favourite Things :)

I hope you all have a very Creative Day :)

Design Team Day for LBBS..Miss Lily with Net

Today is my Design Team day for Little Blue Button Stamps (LBBS)
Well I used that image from the other day.
I was so excited to use one of Olga's awesome images for July (we could have shared them today), but I ran out of time, with running my sister around town, and then Kristy with her Prom.
So I used the image I coloured up the other day.
Miss Lily with hoop net.

Here is a closer look at this cutie :)
I coloured her up with my Copics, but forgot to put the markers aside...and here I was doing so good at that.

I used the paper pack from Graphic 45's Song Bird.
Honestly this wasn't one of my favourite paper packs of theirs, but I really do like how the papers worked with this card.
I was planning on using the dark paper with the butterfly background as the main focus on this card, and Miss Lily popped so nicely on it as well.
Funny how things change as you create ;)

I also used this sketch from MFT Wednesday's Stamp club.

Again here is the card so you can see how I used the sketch :)

I hope you all had a creative Friday :)
