Music Birthday Card

I'm glad I participated in the Jaded Blossom  Sale as I was able to get some amazing products!!  I was able to make my sister's birthday card using only stamps and dies from Jaded Blossom.  Although I know I have some work  to do on my creativity, I enjoyed making it!  (And that's what matters right?!?!)

For the cover, I used the card mat die, scalloped circle die, stitched circle die, and the dimensional banner die.  I also stamped a white paper with the tape from music to my ears.  This was my first coloring project with copic markers.  All things considered, I think it turned out well! Since I have such a small collection of markers, I had to use a brown (E79) along with the colorless blender for the tape base instead of a gray shade.  I also used RV19, RV14, BG 57 and EV51.

On the inside of the card I cut another card mat and used the gift card die.  (Note to self, the card with fit horizontally and look better.) The sentiment also came from the music to my ears stamps.

Thanks for stopping by!  I'd love to hear your thoughts on making this card better as I'm still new to the idea of making cards.  :)

Superman Lego Card

As my monster's birthday is fast approaching, I decided to craft his birthday invitations this year instead of purchasing them.  As a result, he will be having a superhero lego party.  I was able to participate in the SVG Cutting Files Charity Blog hop and obtain the Lego Hop Package.  I used the Superman file on the invite along with a card mat die from Jaded Blossom.  I found the speech bubble on the Cricut Design space.  "Party!" is a part of the Jaded Blossom Supersized Birthday Greetings.  Because I was making 15 cards, I decided to use my cricut explore to cut out all of the circles.  I discovered they blended in with the base so I edged them with a black marker in order to give it depth.  (or so I hope!)  My intentions are to use the batman file for the thank you notes.  Considering how long it took me to put the invites together, I'm not sure if I'm up for the challenge or not!!

I will be entering the invite into my 1st Challenges over at SVG Cutting Files June Challenge : All About the Boys and Jaded Blossom July Monthly Challenge.  Wish me Luck!! ;) And thanks for stopping by!

Happy 4th of July

My box of goodies (stamps / dies) arrived from Jaded Blossom today so of course I had to take a break from cleaning and make a 4th of July goody for my monster!  I used the Goody Bag die, Mini Tag Dies 2, Star Dies, and the Celebrate America stamp to create my project.  I do wish I had the Patriotic Candies Stamps to complete this project.  (Good thing there's always next year!)

Thanks for stopping by!!

Giving it a try!

I'm jumping on the blogging bandwagon and giving this a try!  Hopefully I can figure this out!  :)
