Quickie Birthday Card

Ok, here is a quick birthday card for a friend's kid that was having a birthday. Pulled out the cuttlebug and made a quick background. Then used the bold brights (I seem to be reaching for them more often lately...maybe its a summer thing :) Anyway, the base is brillaint blue, the embossed area is gable green and I accented with real red and only orange. I used the Little Hellos set for the image and happy birthday is from the Eat Cake set. I cuttlebug cut the tag and added some misc. ribbon I had laying around...took about 5 minutes total. Gotta love that!

Monthly Swap card...what a Beauty!

As you have probably already gathered, I am in this monthly swap. For this month, we were assigned a card made from retiring sets. I chose Birthday Beauty, since I just ordered this set and hadnt even mounted it when I learned it was retiring :( Anyway, here she is...I kept this one very simple because I didnt have a lot time. Cool Caribbean paper as the background of course, then added some designer paper from the spring mini. I also used tempting turquoise and rose red. Then I watercolored the main image and added some glitter to her sash...Enjoy!

Hello!!!

So its been a while since Ive posted...summer seems to get in the way of things at my house! Seems like time stops but passes very quickly. So for todays card, Ive brought out a retiring favorite in color for this year, cool carribean. I only have a few sheets left, but I feel that soft sky will more than make up for it this coming year...or at least I hope so. So for this simple little hello card seen here, I used my cool carribean paper, basic black and my slit punch from SU! Also brought out my favorite alpha set- Big Deal- the most versatile large alpha that SU! sells IMHO. I wheeled the background with my jumbo petals wheel in cc then stamped the letters with pixie pink, gable green, summer sun, and cc. For the 'o', I used the metal edge tags and the flower from the Doodle That set in the spring mini. Added a little ribbon and the white dots with my singo white gel pin and this little gem was off to its new owner! Hope you enjoy :)
