Birthdays and a Sketch Challenge


  Over this last year I have struggled with keeping up with birthday and various other celebrations. This particular belated birthday card will be making its way to my nephew "E" who I don't get to see nearly often enough. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY "E" sorry it's a little late.

I have submitted this card in #MFTWSC490 with My Favorite Things. 





The colorful card below was delivered to a friend and classmate of our son.  I try to get him to make the cards when it comes to his friends birthdays but he insists that I do it yet requires his approval before it can be delivered. This one made the cut and was received with a smile. 




Products used for the two shown cards include:  MFT Spotlight Sentiments,  Taylored Expressions Simple Strips Birthday & Taylored Expressions Blender Brushes. Inks include the following Distress Oxides: Hickory Smoke, Stormy Sky, Spiced Marmalade and Ripe Persimmon.

Panda and Fox

 A very talented young lady is approaching her first double digit birthday!  Undecided on what to do for a card I started digging though my stamp collection I came across Unity's Sweet Panda Friend . This young lady has requested stuffed animals for her big day, so I felt it would work perfectly.   I stamped and heat embossed the panda in the middle of card and then stamped out a second image on a sticky note. The image on the sticky note was fussy cut and used to mask the panda on the card front.   In addition to masking the panda I also took a piece of washi tape and ran it down both sides of the card, to mask that area.  Once I completed masking I used Taylored Expressions Gifted Background stamp to build out the background image of gifts.  The last stamp used on the card front is from Jaded Blossoms Hello Hello stamp set.  I purchased this stamp set a couple years back and just noticed today as I went to get the link for you that it is on sale at 70% off so it may be on it'

Introducing Holiday Dangles!

Wear a pop of color and flare to your next holiday event and let your ears do the talking! These gorgeous dangles will bring fun to any outfit. Do you have that favorite ugly sweater or maybe you are crafty and make your own each year for those special gatherings, the tinsel dangles would be a perfect accessory.   It's been fun making these dangles and I intend to make and sell more. They are simple to make once you have the right tools on hand. Some makers cut out their designs by hand, while others use electric cutting machines such as a Cameo or Cricket or cutting dies.  These particular earrings were made with cutting dies and leathers purchased through  https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/shop/designer-dangles . I have the ability to create using a Cameo or Scan N Cut, but I prefer the cleaner cuts I get using dies such as those found at TE.
