I am so glad it is Mid-Winter Break....it was nice to relax and make some cards today with a couple of my friends. I was in need of birthday cards, so that was my goal today.
This first cards is just a simple birthday card.
For this card I used the Simply Charmed cartridge for the Happy Birthday. I used my Gypsy to delete the faces on the a and the d. I cut out the image at 3". I then used my Peachy Keen Everyday Character Face Assortment stamps to add the faces. The paper I used at the top is from 3 Bugs in a Rug. I then added the three brads to the bottom.
The next card I think I'll use for when the boys have birthday parties to go to.
To make this card, I used the Create-a-Critter cartridge. I cut the terrier at 2 1/2". I cut the hat and present from the same cartridge. The hat was cut at 2 1/2" and the present was cut at 1 1/2". I added a bone brad for the collar and then two paw brads for something different. I think I bought these brads at Michaels. I added stickles to the hat and the present for a little bling. The Yappy Birthday stamp is from My Pink Stamper's Even More Punny-licious stamp set.
I think this next card just might be my favorite....the koala is just too cute. I figured I could either use it as a birthday card OR as an everyday "just because" card.
For this card I used the Create-a-Critter cartridge. I cut the koala at 3". The background paper I had left over from a banner I made a while ago. The paper is from Pebbles. It's their New Arrival line. I decided to mat it just to change up the look my cards usually have. The G'day Mate sentiment is from Scrappy Mom's "Amusing Animals" stamp set.
This last card I made over winter break for my grandma. She LOVES penguins. I think they're pretty cute, too.
For this card I used the Simply Charmed Cartridge. I cut the penguins at 3". The igloo was cut at 1 1/2". I tore the white paper to give it the look of snow. The have an "ice" day sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's Winter Punnies stamp set.
I hope everyone is enjoying the long President's Day weekend!
