Happy Birthday

Hi Everyone,

Herre is the last of my birthday cards for my March birthday friends. I decided to use the Fuzzy Chick for a spring themed card. 

I added the hat from the Birthday Party Pig, used a flower brad for the puff on top and created the background with a few stamps:

Splatter Background

Easy Dot Background

Happy Birthday Arc

Inside I added the Favorite Easter Peep Greeting (minus the Happy Easter portion) along with a second chick.

Wishing you a happy spring season! Thanks for peeping in...

Gnome One Like You

Hi Everyone,

I'm still plugging along with my March birthday cards and being lazy for ideas, I copied the card I made in this post, and just updated it using spring colors.  

I stamped the Tree Slice Woodgrain behind the window for the fussy cut Peeking Gnome and used some die cut grass along with some punched flowers. The Gnome One Like You Greeting finished it off.

Flower Punch-Stampin' Up

The reason I made a gnome themed card, is because the gift is this spring colored, gnome themed butter dish :) Cute, eh?

Lastly, a personal note....Happy Birthday to my dad! 86 years young today, but not the recipient of the butter dish...lol! 

Happy Spring to you and yours!

March Birthday

  Hi Everyone,

I'm still working on making March birthday cards for friends and family, so here is my next offering.  It's super simple and flat, which means it's easy to mail.  I just needed my circle dies, markers, glitter glue and a couple of stamps.

Did you know DRS Designs has a birthday stamp for every month?  You can see them all here, and you can grab the Flower Hearts stamp while you're there too!

Keeping my fingers crossed the spring weather arrives soon!

Thanks for stopping by!

Birthday Pigs

 Hi Everyone, 

Every March 12th, 22nd, 23rd, 26th and 30th important people in my life have a birthday.  They show up every year, same time same month, as birthdays do.  You would think I would be prepared and make cards ahead of time.  Nope.  It's March 8th and I've made one.  I know I still have some time, but how, HOW(!) am I not ahead of things. (She shakes her head in clear disappointment in herself)

Anyhow, these cute piggies came to my rescue when I was searching for a design. They definitely make me smile.   

I stamped Leonard Pig Blowing Bubbles and then colored the background scene using a pointillism technique, just lots of dots using different blue and green markers.  I then added Leonard Pig Behind the Bubble, which was fussy cut before attaching with dimensional foam tape. I added some glossy effects to the bubbles to make them shine and added the Sending You a Smile sentiment with a flower embellishment.

Inside I stamped the pig again and added the Delightful Suprises Birthday Greeting.

 

DRS Designs has this sweet Sunflower Bucket image, so I made a simple card that really needs no explanation.  

Well, that's one birthday card down, 4 more to go before the end of the month! 

Wishing you all peace, love and happiness!

Daisy Basket

 

                                           

Hi Everyone,

I've loved seeing all the bright, cheerful cards here on the blog.  It looks like we're all ready for spring to show up and I'm joining in with my Mother's Day card that's an explosion of daises.  

I stamped, colored and die cut the Daisy Basket and layered it onto a background.  For that I used the Medium Daisy Bloom and colored it to match. 

I added an embossed strip along with the Happy Mother's Day sentiment that I created using my circle punches and finished it with some glitter glue to give the flower centers some pizazz!

Happy Stamping!
