A couple more birthday cards......

I needed to make a couple birthday cards, one is for a friend and the other is for my nephew who is a basketball fan! This first one is a Whimsy Doodles image & it comes with the sentiment - funny eh??

And this is Riley Moose playing basketball! I added some crystal lacquer to the ball to give it some dimension and then made the sentiment look like a dog tag. The background is my Cuttlebug STAR folder, and it is purple because that is my nephew's team colours - purple & white!

Hope you are having a great day!

The Corrosive Challenge Blog.....Let's get Lucky!!!

K, first of all, get your minds out of the gutter!!!! LOL THAT is your challenge over at The Corrosive Challenge blog this week!!! Put something on your card or project of something that brings good luck - or make a good luck charm if you so desire! IT is up to you!!!!

I made this card from a kit I got from Paper Wishes - they have a Personal Shopper kit of the month where they send you all the things you need to make 10+ cards! This was one of them...it is kinda neat, but no stamping involved which is why I added Riley Moose drinking a green beer on the front!!!

from the top view, so you have an idea what the whole card looks like.

Here is the card when it is closed; the blue background is actually the inside of the card!



the front of the card (see how it is cut along the rainbow?)

and the inside of the card (the coins in the pot are actual coin brads that they sent in the kit...aren't they cute??)

The little shamrocks were in the kit too, with a little origami pattern to make them. Cute eh?

Have a Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!!! Don't forget to wear green on Wednesday!!!!!

A couple birthday cards....

I made this card for Tim for his birthday on Sunday. I used a HANGLAR stamp that Annie sent me (thanks!) and a fish charm from Bella. The fishy stamps in the background are from Clear Dollar Stamps.

This card is for my sister, who loves waterskiing. I was given this image on SCS Wish RAK, but I added the bikini top to make it a "girl" moose! LOL The sentiment was made on the computer. I got the DP from All that Scraps & have NO idea what company made it....Flair something or other??? sorry!!!

This card uses the Clear Dollar Stamps critter & sentiment. The background is this paint I bought off of Ebay YEARS ago - called Luna Lights - it's really pearly and shiny. You squirt it onto glossy cardstock, then mush another sheet of CS to it, and you get these designs - kinda like in school when we did that, and turned them into butterflies!!!! LOL I added Fun Flock to the skunk and a couple felt flowers from SU. I was going to enter this into the Clear Dollar Stamps DT call, but decided I didn't really like it. No biggie - I need a lot of birthday cards!!!!
