Happy Happy Birthday - Viva La Verve Oct 2017

Hi folks,

I've had another productive weekend of paper-crafting so I will definitely have some cards to share again this week.

Up first is a card I made for our nephew for his birthday.

This was my first time using the mini acrylic stamps from The Greeting Farm and I am pleased with the result.

card details:

• finished size: 5 x 5 inches, white cardstock base
• patterned paper: CTMH Magical (2016  - retired)
• sentiment: CTMH Happy Happy Birthday
• stamped image: from The Greeting Farm "Mini-Remix Boys" set
• layout: Viva La Verve October

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Hope your day is as AWESOME as you!

Hi folks,

And I'm back - sharing another birthday card - this time for a nephew who will be 16 in October. Wow! Where has the time gone?

card details:

• finished size: 6 x 6 inches, black card stock base
• patterned paper: CTMH Magical (retired)
• stamps: CTMH "Wise Guy Birthday". Did you know? This stamp set is one of the sets that CTMH offers in three languages - English, French, and Spanish. How fantastic is that?

• layout: Viva La Verve Sept 2016 - Sketch #2

As always, thanks for stopping by!

A Magical 50th Birthday

Hi folks,

Just popping in to share the cards I made for my cousin's 50th birthday celebration.

Up first - an explosion box card. This was my first time making one of these and I was pleased with how it turned out.

It folks flat and fits into a 6 x 6 envelope. I think this sort of thing would make an awesome cake topper, don't you?

And this is the matching regular card I made to go with it - so I could have somewhere to write a birthday greeting.

card details:

• patterned paper: CTMH "Magical"
• stamps: CTMH "Big Top", "Birthday Funnies"
• Cricut Cartridge: CTMH "Artiste"
• embellishments: CTMH Magical Sequins

challenges for these cards:

• Seize the birthday: Anything Goes Birthday
• Craft Your Passion #314: Anything Goes

As always, thanks for stopping by!
