This wish is late

Hi folks,

Since I've been a bit late getting cards in the mail lately, I figured I should actually make a belated birthday card.





The inside of the card has the second half of the sentiment "so that you can celebrate your birthday longer".

What up Wi'atch?

Hi folks,

So, did you all get crafty on World Card Making Day? I did! I put my mind to it and spent as much time in my craft room yesterday as I could. That really only boiled down to a few hours and since I was watching Breaking Bad at the same time...Well, I didn't get any mass production of cards completed.

But I did get inspired by Breaking Bad to make THIS card. If you are familiar with the show, you'll understand the twist on one of the main characters favourite phrases.




Tee hee! I'm still giggling. AND itching to get back to the craft room to watch the final two episodes of the series!

card details:

  • finished size: 5.5 x 5.5 inches, black card stock base, CTMH Thistle Card stock for sentiment mat
  • patterned paper: Close to My Heart "Scaredy Cat"
  • stamped image: The Greeting Farm "Spooky" Kit. The little witch is coloured with Copic Markers (YG0000, YG00, YG01, YR04, YR07, YR07, N2, N4, N6, N7, N8, BV000, BV02, BV04, BV00, BV01, V06, V04, V05). I used my Sakura Clear star Gelly Roll marker to add a little sparkle to her tiara and her staff. Then I used one of my Copic Multiliners to redraw the lines in her tiara so they were more visible since the sparkle kind of hid them.
  • sentiment: Close to My Heart July 2014 Stamp of the Month "Circus Alphabet", stamped in CTMH Thistle Ink
  • embellishments: black adhesive gem from my stash (in the centre of her tiara) and CTMH Black Enamel Stars from the Scaredy Cat Assortment
  • layout: Viva La Verve October 2014 Week 1 Sketch

Mojo Monday 364

Hi folks,

It's been a while since I played with the Mojo Monday sketches. Here's my take on Mojo Monday Sketch 364.

The first is a birthday card for my stash...



And the second, with a little variation in the layout, is an anniversary card for my parents. They are celebrating 45 years of marriage today!
