Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing a birthday card for one of our grandsons that just turned 7 the end of September. He’s a tramp lovin’ boy for sure and can run like the wind!
I used some newer My Favorite Things stamps and dies… perfect for our grands who all love the tramp. I had a $25 gift certificate that I’d won on a challenge that helped me buy the awesome Interactive Up Down Die set! We’ll need to use it a lot!
I followed the MFT Design Team gal Laura’s instructional video on how to do it. I reinforced the mechanism by gluing 3 die cuts together though, it really needed the strength! I haven’t asked but I’m hoping it’s still working on the card! hehe
Super cute and easy to color! I was so happy with how it turned out! I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Ink and cut the images out with the Scan and Cut 350, then colored with Copic Sketch Markers. There are coordinating dies, I’ll link them up below.
Then it was just assemble like Laura’s video! You can find it on the MFT You Tube Channel. Here’s my video of it in action! Click HERE to see it BIG… much better on the You Tube channel.
Hi everyone! It’s time for family September birthdays around here. This is for our granddaughter that loves her outdoor kitties! It’s her 12th birthday and one of her birthday gifts from her mom and dad were all the kitty pictures printed from her iPod and a photo album to put them in! So so sweet! She loved it!
When I saw this stamp set from Honey Bee Stamps, I knew I had to have it for Lizzie Faith’s birthday card this year. The kitties are SO CUTE! Just full of personality.
I stamped on Copic X-press it card, cut the images out with the Scan and Cut and colored with Copic Sketch Markers. There are coordinating dies to but I don’t have them yet.
Pinks are R81,83,85
Green YG17
Grays the T’s and N’s
Violet V12, 15, 17
yellow Y13, 15
I added the white dots to the boot with a White Signo Gel pen.
The cardstock is Taylored Expressions Confetti Cake for the cardbase and Bazzill cut with a grass die and cloud border die.
The white heat embossed sentiment is from another set, I’ll link below and I colored a piece of Copic X-press it card with the pinks, let it dry, then heat embossed it in the MISTI. Another sentiment from the same set on the inside.
I hope it made you smile! Thank you so much for stopping by! Two more birthday cards to go. All three birthdays are right in a row…how did that happen! (different years) I remember when all three of them were born. They grow up so fast! ❤
Hi everyone! Switching gears from cute to floral! I love this new clear stamp set from poppystamps! So pretty gold embossed and watercolored with Karin Markers, water and a paintbrush.
I stamped the poppystamps Picnic Plaid clear stamp using the Tim Holtz Travel Stamp Platform on Hobby Lobby Masters Touch watercolor card. I love using this stamp platform for big stamps because I can leave the stamp on the lid then take just the lid/stamp to the sink to wash it after stamping! So easy to clean up that way.
I stamped the plaid with Taylored Expressions Premium Dye Ink, first in Pink Champagne and then to get it a little pinker, I inked and stamped it again with Cupcake. I was trying to match the Karin markers I used for watercoloring.
I heat embossed the image and sentiment with gold embossing powder. Then started coloring!
My Karin Markers (from Poland) were a gift from an amazing, dear, friend back in March. (the dreaded birthday was awesome this year) It looks like Simon Says Stamp is bringing them in but nothing in stock yet. To see my other card I colored with them, select my Karin Markers category over on the right. You can use any watercolors to color stamp images though and I plan to do some more with this beautiful image!
Karin Markers are Brush Pens and beautiful for Modern Brush Calligraphy! I’ve been practicing on that when I sit down at night… pretty fun! I’ve always enjoyed lettering but have only pursued it a couple times and never kept up with it. Here’s hoping I do better this time. It’s fun to do with the grandkids also.
ok – well, I’ll wrap this up and say, thanks for coming over! Hope you feel like coloring now! I need to keep coloring/practicing! Don’t look at my coloring to close! lol

Hi everyone! I have a cute card for you today! This alien has landed at the farm and demands cake! This card was for our grandson Cedryk’s 7th birthday. He loved it!
Pull the tab at the top up and the cake rises into the space ship! I have a little video showing how it goes. If you pull the tab out, it’s no problem, just stick it back in and the cake will stick to it again. The cake piece comes off the card. Really cute and so fun!
I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers. I inked the grass in the front with Distress oxide inks.
The characters are from the Lawn Fawn Beam Me Up stamps and die set. The farm background is from a clear set by Miss Ink Stamps. I’ll link them up below…
A weird angle to see that I glued the piece of die cut vellum to the bottom of the spaceship.
A little closer to see the cake behind the vellum…
Have you ever seen cuter aliens? haha They seem to like birthday parties! lol And they bring presents! Gotta love that! haha
The inspiration for the slider is from a video I saw on Simon Says Stamp blog HERE.
I stamped the sentiments on black cardstock with Versamark ink and embossed them with Lawn Fawn White embossing powder. I used the MISTI Cut Align Ruler to cut the strips. So far I like it a lot!
Hi everyone! I should be doing housework but here I am writing a post because I’m behind getting birthday cards posted and it’s time for new things! ok – I wonder when there aren’t new things in this papercrafting industry!
Here’s a card for one of our grands that just turned 13!
I was inspired by Nancy’s card here. I don’t have the pattern paper but otherwise, I just plain copied her… such an awesome design!
I used oxide inks on Bristol Smooth card, some water splatters, die cutting and gluing… very straight forward!
I ended up with several photos so I’ll just post away…
So happy with the color combo… I think you could use any Summer colors though for this!
