Fin-tastic & Dino Birthday

 Hello...It's been awhile since I posted!

Today I have a couple birthday cards I made for our grand-nephews.  The first one uses a stamp I got as a freebie thank you from Your Next Stamp several years ago.  It is a simple card just a few colors orange, blue and black.  

The image is colored with Copic markers.  The blue rectangular with the stitch border are die cuts using a Die-namics die. Cardstock is from PaperTrey Ink, Orange Zest, Hawaiian Shores and True Black.

The second card is dinosaur theme, using a set from Unity Stamps called "Stomping Great Day".  The dinosaurs are colored with Copic markers and fussy cut out.  The patterned papers are Simple Stories Snap Life.  Cardstocks are from PaperTrey Ink, Kraft and Pure Poppy.

Spellbinders - Cosmos Birthday

Happy Saturday!

Today, I have some birthday cards I made using Spellbinders Cosmos Backdrop and stencil bundle.  I found it on Amazon.  This background is so pretty and with the 4 layer coordinating stencils is so easy to color.  I made several color combinations and also played with the layout and the sentiment. The sentiment is from PTI stamp set Cut Away Tags - Summer.

The background is a BetterPress plate, which I inked with Memento Black ink and ran through my Spellbinder die cut machine to make the impression on PTI White cardstock.  I love the BetterPress plates for large backgrounds, gives a beautiful impression like it is printed.  Then, I colored the image using coordinating stencils.  

The inks used are all PaperTrey Ink - Flowers: Pale Peony and Berry Sorbet; Flower Center: Summer Sunset and Honey Nut; Leaves: Green Parakeet and Simply Chartreuse. 

The first card above is a pink-peach version.  The base card is Pale Peony with a True Black matted image in the upper right corner and matted sentiment in the center.

Card 2 - Teals

The inks used are all PaperTrey Ink - Flowers: Aqua Mist and Hawaiian Shores; Flower Center: Summer Sunset and Honey Nut; Leaves: Green Parakeet and Simply Chartreuse. 

The second card above is a teal version.  The base card is Aqua Mist with a True Black matted image centered and matted sentiment across center of the background.

Card 3: Purples

The inks used are all PaperTrey Ink - Flowers: Lilac Grace and Amethyst Allure; Flower Center: Summer Sunset and Honey Nut; Leaves: Green Parakeet and Simply Chartreuse. 

The third card above is a purple version.  The base card is Lilac Grace with a True Black matted image centered and matted sentiment at an angle across the background.

Card 4: Bright Pinks

The inks used are all PaperTrey Ink - Flowers: Lovely Lady and Raspberry Fizz; Flower Center: Summer Sunset and Honey Nut; Leaves: Green Parakeet and Simply Chartreuse. 

The fourth card above is a bright pink version.  The base card is Raspberry Fizz with a True Black matted image centered and matted sentiment flag added to the background.

Simon Says Stamp - Heart Breeze Engagement

Happy Saturday!

Today, I have an engagement card using Simon Says Stamp "Heart Breeze" die.  The card is for my cousin's son, so needed a more rustic look.  I used some barnwood patterned paper from Craft Consortium, cut to 3.25 x 4.5".  

I stamped a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp! called "Sentiments for you" that I found in my stash.  Then die cut the heart breeze.  I backed the woodgrain panel with PTI Pure Poppy, then matted with PTI Pure Black.  The base card is PTI white cardstock 4.25 x 5.5", A2 size.
