Birthday Wonderland

Earlier this week I posted a Christmas card that I had made.  Well I started with this scene first, but it was just too big for the sketch I had to use.  Plus I wasn't too sure about some of the lines on it because I had to go back and get some areas wet again.  I cut the right side of the watercolor paper off since I didn't like what I had there.  I ended up with this card and I'm pretty happy with it and hope my brother-in-law is too since it's for his birthday. :)


The trees bled a little more than I had hoped, but it wasn't bad enough that I wasn't willing to use it.  I keep telling myself not to be too picky and to remember that when I watercolor it does bleed and blend a little and to just go with it!


Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Great Guy Greetings

It's been a while since I've posted so I'd better get back to it before everyone thinks I'm done with stamping for good. lol  Today is my nephew's 16th birthday and I had to make a card for him right?!  I've spent a good amount of time with him in the past year or so since I would pick him up after school and drop him off at work.  Well today that all ended.  He got his license was able to drive the 1979 Ford F150 truck he bought two years ago and has been slowly restoring with the help of his dad, my brother (he paid for it on his own too except for the labor to do some of the work he wasn't able to do...how many 16 year olds could do this and pay for it too?!  He's a hard worker and an awesome guy!).  I was able to see progress he made since I work for my brother at his collision and restoration shop.  I do NOT do the collision or restoration work though. lol  That is one dirty and difficult job let me tell you!  It's an art for sure just like card making.  I don't have a before and after picture right now, but if anyone is interested in seeing them so you know what he started and ended with let me know and I'll add it to this post.  Guess I'll see if any crafters are interested in trucks at all (which by the way I'm not into them too much, but this one is special).  Ok now that I've gone on about all of that I'd better get to the card I made.

About a month and a half ago or so I posted this card...


I had a leftover packet from a stamp a stack and decided to use it to make my nephew's card.  I didn't use the So Saffron banner, but used all the other pieces.  Here are a few pics below of the new card I created using Guy Greetings and Calling All Heroes from Stampin' Up!  I really like how it turned out too.  Not too bad for whipping it together in about 10 minutes.  Yes, I am a SLOW stamper.  I look at some cards ladies say they create in 10 minutes and think it would take me 20 minutes alone to come up with part of an idea for a card. lol

Guy Greetings Birthday

Wow it's been a while since I've posted anything!  I guess that's what happens when life gets busy!  Today I have a masculine card to show you that I'm doing for this month's stamp a stacks.  It's pretty clean and simple and that's the way I want all of my cards this month...ok maybe all but one. ;)  I've got to give the ladies a break every now and then and make the cards relatively simple. :)


My inspiration comes from a couple of different challenges.  Make sure you check them out.  Lots of great inspiration from each of the design team members!  The first is Freshly Made sketches.  Their sketches are clean and simple and like I said that's what this card is all about.


The colors come from Sunday Stamps color challenge.  The colors are saffron, black, white and rust.  I used Stampin' Up! colors so they are So Saffron, Basic Black, Whisper White and Cajun Craze.



A quick peek inside shows just a little bit of stamping.  I like to put just a touch of something inside my cards because I don't always have a sentiment in there especially if I've put Happy Birthday on the outside already.


Thanks for looking and have a great day!
