A Birthday Shaker Kitty Card

Hello again.  Well I have a fun card for today.

This card is very simple, but has a little twist that makes it fun.  The Cupcake is a shaker.

Here is a close up.  

I started out with a stamped image and colored with with copics.  then I used and exact knife to cut out the "cake" part.  Using a black marker, outlined the cutout.  Then placed foam tape around the opening, added a few glittering elements and closed it up with a piece of white paper.  Very simple.  

The whole thing was mounted onto to an A2 card Base, added a sentiment that was heat embossed with clear powder, added a bow and it is ready for a Cat Loving Birthday recipient.  

The stamp set that was used is:  Kitty Sweets

Happy Penguin: A Birthday Card

Josette here with another Tuesday Installment:  Todays' card is just plain cute!!

This is a fairly simple card with a big bang happy!  So let's discuss how I made it and the product used.  This is a 5.5" square card.  The base layer is white cardstock.  The Mat, is a piece of watercolor paper.  I randomly dropped Distress reinkers onto my craft sheet, misted with water until very thin, and dragged my paper through the puddles.  Once dry, I enhanced by further misting with water and letting dry.  I usually created several back grounds at a time, trying out different color combos.  Then when I need a base, just pull out the stack and go from there.

The image is from February Release: Cool Penguin.  I used  Classy Circle Frame and coated it with Enamel_Powder_ENCHANTED_AUBERGINE.  Using a circle die, cut out the Penguin just slightly larger than the opening and glued in place.  Added a circle of fun foam to the back.  Stamped the Birthday greeting from:  Kitty_Sweets_Clear_Stamp in black ink and heat embossed with fine clear embossing powder.  A black and white polka dotted bow was all that was needed to finish this card.

The Penguin was colored with Copics.  I used W0 to add shadow and R24 for the Bow with R27 for shadow.  Ready for mailing!!!

Hope you enjoy my Happy Penguin Card,  Come back next week for more card ideas!

Little Peeps: A bird'day Card

Josette here with another Tuesday installment.  Today's card features the little birds from this stamp set.

                                                             Happy_Bird_Day

So here is my card that I created.  

this was a fun card and is pretty straight forward.  The background is one I created on Watercolor Paper using powdered dyes.  I had first stenciled the paper with Versamark through a stencil, then embossed in a clear embossing powder.  Finally colored with the powdered dies.  I cut this will a window die and added a shaker window to the front of the card.  All of the birds were colored with Copics and highlighted with Wink of Stella in clear.

The final card is an A2 and folds flat enough that it should be easily mailed.

Kitty Sweets Card!

Hello, Britt Bass here to bring you a quick little post about a quick little card I made using Sweet Stamps' Kitty Sweets clear stamp set and Embossing Powder.

First, I stamped my image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored him with my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and fussy cut him out.  I wanted him to be wearing a little birthday hat, so I cut a triangle with a slightly rounded bottom out of a piece of patterned paper and outlined it with a black Memento marker to make it looked like it was stamped .  I then colored around the black line with white gel pen - that gave the hat the same little white border as the cat.  I attached the hat to my cat and added a button - cat complete! 

I took a DCWV cardbase and three DCWV papers from the "Dots and Stripes" line and layered strips across the middle of the card, alternating colors within my color scheme. (Tip time! If you run your fingers under the edges of each layer it will give you some nice dimension without using pop dots! Just don't put adhesive all the way to the edges!)

Finally, I attached my cat to the card base and began working on my sentiment.  I stamped the frame and the "Wishes for a great Birthday" sentiment and embossed them using Silver Fine Detail embossing powder and Black Fine Detail embossing powder - respectively.  Once the senimtent was attached - the card was done!

I know that you all enjoyed the sketch I added to one of my posts last month, so I wanted to give you one for this card as well!

Now, don't forget to stop by Sweet Stamps for all your supplies this month!
