21st Birthday Card

Happy Monday Crafters

Today I'm sharing with you the birthday card I made for my son's 21st Birthday.

There are a couple of milestones that come with turning 21. 

 The two that I know about and chose to incorporate into my card are gambling and drinking.

I can't believe my son is old enough to gamble and drink alcohol.

I just love the way it turned out.

Card Recipe:

• Card base is 5 7/8" x 5 7/8"
• Gambling games from:
• Casino Night from Scrapping Bug Designs
• Casino Collection from Treasure Box Designs - Chips with numbers 
• Scrappy Moms Stamps Hooray for Birthdays stamp set 
• Used the chain of chips cut outs on plain white paper to put the sentiments on.
• Playing cards that add up to 21 are from Google images.  Printed them then cut them out with my Silhouette.
• Close to my Heart Liquid Glass on the glass of beer and on the 777.   Can't see it in the picture.
• Used Gold Stickles for the lights on the slot machine and gold and clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush Pens for the coins. 

Thanks for stopping by to look at my latest creation.

Happy crafting.

Minnie Mouse Birthday Card - Pinterest Inspired

Hello Crafters,

I have a bunch of projects that I've been creating but been so tired that I haven't had extra energy to type up something cute about them in a post.   So my goal for the next couple of weeks is to try and post at least two projects a week.   

I know everyone is making Christmas projects but I can't post the one project I have made because it's a gift and I don't want to spoil the surprise.  I also haven't completed the other Christmas projects yet so today I'm going to share with you a birthday card I made for my husband's great niece. 

I can not take credit for the design of this card.   I found this design on Pinterest and loved it so much that I copied the layout and added a few more embellishments     Found this Minnie Mouse on Google Images and pulled it into my Silhouette Cameo software to do a print and cut.  

Here is the card closed.  

Below is the easel card opened.  
 I wrote on it before I took pictures so I had to get creative to block out the names.

Card Recipe:

• Sentiments on the inside of this card are from Scrappy Moms Stamps "Hooray for Birthdays! stamp set. 
• Pattern Papers are digital paper from Prettygrafik's called Little Artist.   
• Sized the shapes in my Silhouette software, printed then cut them out.  
• The flower and brad I bought at one of the Scrapbook Expos.   Don't remember which vendor I bought them from.  

Thanks for stopping by.

Hope you enjoy your week.

Sour Patch Kids Birthday Card

Hello Crafters,

Today I would like to share with you a card I made for a friend who loves Sour Patch Kids.

I found a Sour Patch Kid image on google images that I could trace and cut with my Silhouette Cameo.   Used stickles with a paint brush to make the image sparkly and then I used the stickles around the edges for a thick border. 

Card Recipe:

• "To the Sweetest of the Sweet" sentiment from the Scrappy Mom's Stamps "Whimsical Words" stamp set. 
• Banner from the Silhouette Store - Banners Curved Samantha Walker ~ Design #43883 - Modified to fit sentiment.
• Gumdrop brads from my stash.
• Sentiments inside card:
• Top one from Scrappy Moms Stamps "Sassy Pants" stamp set
• Bottom one from Scrappy Moms Stamps "Hooray for Birthdays" stamp set. 

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you liked my Sour Patch Kid birthday card. 

Have a fabulous week.

Zombie Birthday Card

Hello Crafters,

Last week and this week have just been plain crazy.   Last week I was having issues with my internet connection, then for two days I was dealing with malware on my laptop.  Ugg.   Why do people have to do this.  Luckily non of my personal information was compromised.  It just kept trying to make me go places on the internet that I didn't want to go, to try and get me to download "malware protection" for windows etc.  I guess I wasn't as careful as I thought,  so be careful and only download from sites you trust. 

I have a Mac so I called Apple Support and they were awesome and helped me get rid of the malware.   

Then this weekend was super crazy hot and I was out in the sun all three days 'cause I had to be.    So I didn't get any crafting done all weekend. :(  

So now onto some crafting.   I've been wanting to share this project and other projects as well for over a week and I'm finally getting a moment to do so.

I modified a card I bought from the silhouette store to make this card for my husband's nephew's birthday.  I hope he liked it as much as I do. 

Here it is all put together.  It's a pull out card. 

Here it is with apart. 

Here it is apart showing the back of the zombie portion.

Card Recipe:

• Card Base is from the Silhouette Store - 7-Card Kit Birthday Design #7905
• I modified it by using the dirt from the zombie file.
• Zombie is from the Cute Zombie file by Paper Piecing by Nikki, pppndesigns.com 
• I copied the head, released the compound path and then deleted all the face parts so I would just have the outline so I could put it on the back of the zombie's head since you were going to see it from the back. 
• Used chalk to make the zombie and everything else look grimy and dirty.
• "It's Zomb-ody's Birthday!" Sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps "Fan-tastic" stamp set and the "Happy Birthday to you!" Sentiment is from Scrappy moms stamps "Hooray for Birthdays" stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by.

I hope I was able to inspire you with my project.

Have a blessed day and Happy Crafting!

TTFN,

Die Cutting Diva's Guest Designer for their Must Include a Flower Challenge - Scent-sational Birthday Card

Hello Crafters

(For the 5/19/15 Scrappy Moms Stamps TTC Animal Challenge click here.) 

I'm ecstatic that I get to be the Guest Designer for Die Cuttin' Diva's "Must Include a Flower Challenge" that starts today.

For this challenge I chose to use the adorable skunk from the KaDoodle Bug Designs Cutie KaToodles - Flower Skunk  file because she's surround by pretty flowers and thought it would make a scent-sational birthday card. 

I love paper piecing but with working full time I sometimes don't have time to cut and put the little pieces together, which is why I love it when KaDoodle Bug Designs files have jpgs as part of their file options.   

I pulled the KaToodle Skunk jpg into my Silhouette Studio Designer Software, trace it, crop it to remove the white area around it, and then offset it to get a little white border around the image.   Once I got that done, I printed it and then put it through my Silhouette Cameo to cut it out.    Of course my image has to have a shadow behind it to help it pop form the pattern paper behind it so I use the offset option again to create it.  

Below are pictures of the final project. 

It's an easel card :)

Of course I had to put her on an action wobble.

Pulled the top back so you could see it the skunk and sentiment together.

Close up of the sentiments I used.

Card Recipe:

• Sentiments from Scrappy Moms Stamps Hooray for Birthdays and Furry Friends stamp sets. 
• Image is from KaDoodle Bug Designs Cutie KaToodles - Flower Skunk  file
• Used Gelly Roll pens to add some accents. 
• Scallop Easel Card from the Silhouette Store Design #43211
• Bling from my stash. 
• Digital paper that I think but not 100% sure is from Prettygrafik.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog.   I hope you enjoyed the card I made for the Die Cuttin' Diva's challenge.  You can join their challenge by clicking here. 
I love reading all your sweet comments.
Happy Crafting! TTFN Debby
