Celebrating Bear Birthday Card

Happy Hump Day Crafters,

Back in May of 2015 I went to a New Kids on The Block concert with a friend who is a die hard NKOTB fan.   At the end of this concert they sprayed a bunch of confetti into the crowd.  So of course I had to grab some of that confetti.  I secretly stuffed it in my pocket because I knew I wanted to use it on her birthday card.   So I brought it home, put it in a ziplock baggie and put it in plain sight on my craft table so I wouldn't forget to use it. 

Yesterday was her birthday so I can share the card with you today.   She was so surprised that I kept the confetti and incorporated it into her birthday card.   I'm pretty sure she liked it. :)

Here is her card closed.

Here is her card opened.

And here is a close up of the bear and confetti.

Card Recipe:

• Bear holding the champagne bottle is from the KaDoodle Bug Designs  Cutie KaToodles - It's Midnight Somewhere file. 
• I used the jpg and did a print and cut.   
• Can't see it but I added a touch of Wink of Stella Brush Clear Glitter pen to the champagne glass.  
• Card base is from the Silhouette Store ~ A2 Happy Birthday Cupcake Easel Card~Design #116484
• I only used the card base from this file.
• Sentiment from Scrappy Moms Stamps "More Mini Messages" stamp set.

Birthday Card~Girl with Cotton Candy

Happy Tuesday Crafters,

My crafty friend Janis Lewis from Pause, Dream, Enjoy made a card a few weeks ago using a color digi stamp from The Paper Shelter and I fell in love.   So since then I bought several of their digi stamp sets. 

Today I'm sharing a birthday card I made with one of their digi stamp sets.

I'm not very good at coloring I love that they have a colored digi stamp that I can print and then cut out on my Silhouette.   With this image I wanted to give it some dimension so I took a cotton ball and pulled it apart.   Once I did that I used 3 different pink Sharpies in my eBrush to make the cotton ball look like cotton candy.  I then glued it onto the cotton candy portion of the card.   
Love how it turned out. 

Card Recipe:

• Card base 5-1/2" x 5-1/2"
• Background paper and girl is from The Paper Shelter "Fair Day-Digital Stamp" set.
• "HB2U" sentiment from Scrappy Moms Stamps "More Mini Messages" stamp set. 
• Cotton candy - cotton ball pulled apart and sprayed with 3 different pink Sharpies with my eBrush.

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a blessed day.

TTFN,

Debby
