You can never have too many birthday cards on hand....

I've been replenishing my stock of birthday cards, playing with stamps that don't get out much!

I just love this Penny Black set called A Little Bird! I kept the card simple just stamping and coloring with a popped up birthday message.

I gave it a collage-y look by lightly stamping some pretty images from Butterfly Garden Impressions No. 14 by Pink Paislee in the background. Hero Arts layering paper and Newspaper Background make up the cardbase.

I like how girly this looks!

Thanks for visiting with me today!

Just a quick Saturday card share

I have been working on some special projects in the last few weeks that I hope to share with you all in the next week or so, but it hasn't left me much time for some creative play.

I thought I would share this card that I made a week or so ago. I love this Penny Black set and I'm using it to make a whole lot of birthday cards, but I just wanted to make something FUN this time out!

I thought this would be appropriate to post on this last day of June. 

Hoping you all enjoy the ride through the rest of this summer. 

Maybe even have a driving along the ocean in a convertible moment or two along the way.

Here are links to all the products I used for this card, I used various colors of Copic Sketch markers, what is listed below is only representative.

I'm off to teach my Summer Fresh class at Stamp Fever and then join my family to celebrate the hubs' birthday!

Preview Day

I've got a little preview of the products I'll be working with this week. My sister asked me to make 10 birthday cards for her women's Bible Study group....yippee I get to make girly cards! And hopefully this week I'll be making a special birthday card for my sweet hubby; his big day is later this month.

So here's the stamps I've selected for this week's card making fest:

Some Penny Black with a bit of Technique Tuesday in the mix. Fingers crossed that I get them all done.

I've been doing a little designing on the ol' PC lately, lot's of fun stuff for Stamp Fever. It's also time for some family fun, our annual Fourth of July Burger Bash.

We are all working in secret to come up with a burger that will wow everyone. One of our best recent offerings was our Margarita Burger complete with a Tequila spiked glaze. Of course Al made his famous watermelon margaritas to go with them!

Hope you all have a wonderful week,

Enjoy the Ride

Playing with some new Penny Black stamp sets- Hello Gorgeous and A Little Bird. I just love these fun images, they are perfect for so many occasions.

Here I used some paper scraps that were left over from making kits for my last class....there was a ton a scraps so I think this will be my new style for a while.

I did some really simple coloring with Copics; this image was really fun to work with. The background is another PB stamp Paisley Outline stamped with the new Shaded Lilac Distress ink with a bit more blended over the top.

So, funny story....today was our 34th wedding anniversary and both of us forgot. No worries we had a lovely day anyway.
