Musical Notes Happy Birthday to You

When I showed my friend the last card I made with this Honey Bee stamp set she said it would be perfect for her grandson’s birthday. He plays a lot of musical instruments and is part of a drum core. So I decided to make her a card that would include a drum and trumpet, which are some of the instruments he plays.

This time I stamp Gina K. Designs Music Medley Background on some Neena Classic Crest 80# Solar White Cardstock in Simon Says Stamp Barely Beige Ink. I then stamped the images directly over the background, masking some of the images to overlap.

Once I was done coloring I die cut the focal image with a My Favorite Things A2 Stitched Rectangle. I used them on most of my cards. I like the finished result that they give. I adhered the panel to a black cardbase.

I stamped the sentiment on a scrap of black cardstock and heat embossed with detailed white embossing powder. Added some foam tape to the back for dimension. I then stamped musical notes as if the sound was coming out of the instruments.

I really liked the way the card looked, but at the last moment I decided to add some Ranger Glossy Accents to the instruments. I think it really added to the card.

Happy Birthday Alcohol Ink Background

I had an extra rectangle of hot pink alcohol ink cardstock waiting to be used. I decided to die cut the Poppy Stamps Happy Birthday Background and add the hot pink panel behind it. It needed a little something extra so I pulled out the cupcake from Simon Says Stamp’s Birthday Circle and die cut it from both white cardstock and hot pink glitter cardstock and adhered it to the bottom left of the card front.

Celebrate Your Day Charlie Brown

I met my husband while he was playing Charlie Brown at summer stock theater. When I saw some cute Charlie Brown Peanut images on Coloring 4-Kids I couldn’t resist making some cards with them. This first card is the peanuts gang ready to play some ball. I colored it with Copic Markers, die cut it using the Silhouette Cameo and adhered it to an ink blended background. Wish his birthday wasn’t in October, but someone else from our generation will love it.

Party! It’s Your Birthday

I recently purchased Simon Says Stamp Square Dance Stencil and love the way it make a very graphic background that is perfect for Masculine Cards.  This one I ink blended the background with Distress Inks on the diagonal.

I love the combination of green, blue and yellow.  I decided to keep the rest of the card pretty clean and simple by adding a die cut sentiment from matching blue cardstock and then giving a little visual color interest with Copic Markers.  The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Large Party Circle and was cut four time and adhered together with Elmer’s Craft Bond Spray Adhesive.  The secondary sentiment is from Poppy Stamps Into the Words and was stamped with Gina K. Designs Turquoise Sea Ink on 80# white cardstock and adhered just below the word “Party” with 3M 1/2″ Foam Tape cut into a thin strip.  A simple and easy card to make.
