Memory Box Grand Stag Oval Frame , Pine Branch Oval Frame, Country Road Oval Birthday Card…

Hi everyone!  I needed a masculine birthday card so I revisited some of the fabulous Memory Box nature dies that combine so well.

I love die cutting the Memory Box white notecards…a beautiful white card…just the right weight and die cuts beautiful.  I linked to the white A2 size notecards below. I used 3 for this card with scraps leftover that I keep and use for other cuts/cards.  Starlitstudio carries most of the colors.

The red plaid for happy birthday is from the Simple Stories Winter Wonderland 6×6 paper pad. (I couldn’t find it to link to)

I inked up the card base with a little Tumbled Glass Distress ink and the mini ink blending tool. I glued the Double Stitched Frame directly to the card. The oval dies were inked with Peeled Paint, Gathered Twigs using a mini ink blending tool and raised up with mounting tape.  Happy Birthday was glued directly on the top.

A fun Winter, masculine birthday card that you could glam up to look like clean, sparkly snow.  I suppose, since it’s March, I’m not supposed to use that ‘snow’ word anymore this year. hehe  Really, this card could work for any season with a few changes.

The Greeting Farm Birthday Anya Card…

Hi everyone! Sharing a birthday card I made for one of our granddaughters that just turned 13!  Hard to believe! They grow up so fast!

Birthday Anya was stamped in the MISTI with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers.  I cut her out by hand…fun to visit my coloring and cutting days again!

So fun… I love coloring redheads…Lilli is one of our 7 grands with red hair! hehe  She loves pink! She loves to make cards too…for her birthday she wanted Distress Ink mini ink pads…sure made it easy for grandma! lol

I love my days stamping/cardmaking with the grandkids.  We had lots of fun making Valentines.  I’ll share the ones I made soon…we’re late since our family party was just Sunday night.

The dies and stamps I used are linked below!  Thanks for stopping by!

poppystamps Floral Cluster CAS Birthday card…

Hi cardmaker friends! I’ve missed getting on here and sharing! Here’s a clean and simple birthday card, well, cuz, the birthdays just keep coming faster and faster!!!

Some die cutting…distress oxide ink blending/coloring, a stamped sentiment and done! yay!

Almost like back to the basics with these punch looking flowers but I love how they’re scattered and such happy colors!

A few mat enamel dots and it’s a sweet birthday card.

Question for you…have any of you received cards made with the do it yourself enamel dots?  How did they travel through the mail?  Did they squish/flatten?

ok – links to what I used below…have a great weekend! I have some more birthday cards to finish and I know…valentines! lol  Our family Valentine/Birthday party is Sunday night so I’ll be back with more next week!  Take care!

Winter Scene Bridge Fold Card and two more Valentines…

Good Saturday to you!  This card is perfect for us this week!  A week of beautiful snow!  The glisten-y, sparkly kind!

When I saw these sledder dies at Starlitstudio…I KNEW I HAD to have them! hehe   All things Winter scene need to be mine! haha

I used a variety of companies for this… I’ll link up what I used at the bottom of the post.

The Bridge fold card is so fun…I love how you can use so many dies for the scene and it can be layered up with so much dimension but still FOLD FLAT for mailing!  YES!

Start with the base cut 4 1/4inches by 8 inches.  Score at 1 1/4 inch and 2 1/2 inches from both ends…fold them in how you see them in my pictures.  For the inside layers, I cut them 3 1/2 inches and score each end at 1/4 inch and they fit perfect every time!  I use 1/8 inch score tape to secure them in position.

Holler if you have any question!  😀

Linking up my Winter Bridge card to CAS on Friday Challenge – Dies

Next up a couple Valentines…

I’m getting a lot of mileage out of this Pinpoint Heart die and the Have a Heart die set. Panel cut with the Rectangle Basics die set.

Linking up the heart/music card to Less is More Challenge #364 Music

Thank you ladies!

 

Here I made a little scene with the poppystamps Valentine Fairies stamp set and coordinating die set. I meant to color the blonde with a funky color hair but I forgot!  So used to doing ‘normal’ hair! hehe

Stamped in the MISTI, die cut in the Big Shot and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.  Bike is R46, the girls are the R0’s.  Memory Box notecards in a couple fun colors, Parsley and Pool!
