Great Weekend

This weekend was full of fun.  Friday night, Juan, Phil and I went out to dinner and out to a friends birthday party.  Saturday Phil and I did some shopping and went to see the eye doctor.  That night we went out with some friends that we haven't seen in awhile.  Today, I was able to get some things done for a friend in my craft room and create some cards for all the birthdays coming up in March.


This first card is for my friend Barbara, today was her birthday.

I really like this stamp set from Stampin Up.  It's called Cheers to you.  It makes great birthday cards.  The base of my card is from Papertrey ink and it's called Kraft card stock and it was cut at 5 1/2 by 8 inches.  The pink striped paper was some scrap I had laying around.  The green came from the shimmer pack from DCVW.   I border punched it with the Ek Success bubbles punch. I punched the circle out using 1 3/4 circle punch from Stampin Up and the silver ribbon is from Papertrey ink.

This card is for my Grandma Williams.  I used all Stampin Up products here.  The base of the card is Blashful Blue and it is cut at 4 1/5 by 9 inches. The brown color is from the Neutrals Collection.  I used the Build a Blossom stamp set and punch and I can't remember the colors I used for the green and pink.  I used a brad from Stampin Up to be the center of my flower.

This card is for Zach! His birthday is in a week.  I used Papertrey Ink white and black paper.  My card base is cut at 5 1/5 by 8 inches.  The printed brown paper has dog paws on it and I again used my Ek Success bubbles punch on it. I think that is my new favorite punch.  The dog was cut from the Celebrations Cartridge and I cut him at 4.5. I used the black out feature to get the first layer then did it again for the white layer.  I jazzed it up with some Stickles on his eye and hat.

Happy Birthday to Zachary, Grandma Williams and Barbara!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Baby Card

My friend, Luke, is having a baby in a week or so.  I thought I'd try to make a scallop card by using my Gypsy and welding together two scallop circles.  I had the hardest time doing this.  I made so many cuts because when I folded it was not even.  Then it dawned on me, I needed to flip one of the scallops to make it work.  After I did that it turned out great! 

 So I used the min monogram cartridge for my scallop circle and the circles.  The scalloped circles are cut at 5.5 inches and welded together using the Gypsy.  The yellow circle is cut at 6 inches and the white one is cut at 5.5 inches. The scallop circle card is using Papertrey Ink's Sweet Blush.  The yellow and white are just some scraps I had laying around.  The white paper has some embossed dots on it.

The onesie is cut from New Arrival.  I cut it at 2.5 inches and it was cut from Papertrey Inks Raspberry Fizz paper.  The flower I used from the scraps I had from making the circles.  The little hanger I had to cut a littler larger than the 2.5 inches. I think I finally did it at 3.25 inches.  I used some Stickles for the flower, it needed some bling. 

The stamp I used from the inside was from the stamp set called Inside and Out: Baby.  I love it! What a cute saying.

Have a good week!
