SSS230 Cheery Birthday Card

 

This is such a fun sketch this week at The Sweet Stop. 

This is a bright and cheery card. I love these new papers from one of DCWV birthday stacks. This paper is glossy. I have never had a glossy stack before. Pictures never do a card justice. It doesnt look so flat in real life. :)

This image is a Bugaboo image. I colored it with Copics and added Glossy Accents to the balloon, eyes, and candle. The present is a Stampin Up image.

Inside this card is a sentiment I believe is from a Fiskar set. I have had this birthday stamp set for a long time and only have the plastic it is on. I love how the paper looks on the inside.

Now let the sketch inspire you and come play along with us at The Sweet Stop!

Xmas Quad Time Stamping

Here is my first attempt at quad time stamping. I had no instructions just a picture to mimic. It came out far from perfect and I had to redo it a bit but over all the end result was ok and I learned from my mistakes. 
I used some snowflake stamps in different shades of blue. I added Glitter snowflake brads. I added the merry Christmas stamp in blue first and it didnt show well so I added it in black.

Time to try another one to see if I can make it a little better.

SSS229 School Time Card

 

I was a little stumped at first when I looked at this sketch from The Sweet Stop. After a little thought I came up with this bright and cheery card. 

 

I used some scraps of school paper I believe is DCWV. The cute little poem is a Jaded Blossom stamp. I added some faux stitches on the red card stick. I added a couple apple brads. The star is Heidi Swapp that I sprayed with yellow spray also Heidi Swapp. I used a border punch that looks like a notebook edge.

I used a Meljen's Designs digi stamp that I colored with Copics. I added Glossy Accents to the worm that makes him shiny.

Triple Time Green Birthday

Here is another triple time stamp card I came up with. Its been awhile since I made one.

I was thinking this color combo would look better in my head but its okay. I used a mix of flower stamps mostly Fiskar. The butterfly is a chipboard cut out sprayed with Glitter. The sentiment is a Studio G I believe. I lightly stamped the whole background with a words background stamp then lots of flowers and one little butterfly later and here you go. 

The inside sentiment is from Sweet N Sassy's Birthday Innies.

I used a stamp for the background and the flowers. After I covered the whole white background with the words stamp I masked off some of the paper with painters tape then sprayed it with color mist. I repeated the process with the different colors several times. I sprayed the flower.

I used my Spellbinders to cut these labels. I sprayed the the background one lightly with purple. I stamped a Stampin Up birthday sentiment on the green paper.

Mojo Monday Birthday Card

I am trying to use up the sheets of this paper. Many you can make a lot of cards with a few 12x12 sheets of paper. This paper is DCWV The Guys Stack. The stamp is a Stampin Up stamp that I like but haven't used much. I have discovered that it is a great stamp for male cards. I am gathering quite the stack of male cards.

I followed the Mojo Monday sketch for this card.

Turtle Birthday Card

My favorite colors again :) I hate to have so much of the 12x12 paper wasted so I try hard to make several cards with the sheets of paper. I used a Bugaboo digi stamp. I colored this cute turtle with Copics.

I inked the edges around the image.  I added Glossy Accents to the balloons to make them shine.  The inside of the card is a Sweet N Sassy stamp from the Birthday Innies. The paper is DCWV.
