BRI - Purrthday Celebration

My latest Butterfly Reflections Ink card is purrfectly fun and cute! And easy too--really.

I sponged the card base with Distress Oxide Saltwater Taffy and sprinkled it with water. While that dried I colored up the Sunny Studio Birthday Cats. Aren't they adorable? And check out that Lawn Fawn mouse popping up. Definitely a Tom and Jerry moment.

I used Lawn Fawn Henry's ABCs for the "meow" which I cut from kraft cardstock and coated with Clear Wink of Stella then adhered it to a pearlescent shadow base layer.

Finally I positioned the Lawn Fawn Fishtail Banner Borders across the card as it seemed a bit plain without.

Whimsy - Linking Train

I think I know a certain little boy who is going to love his birthday card using the new Whimsy Linking Train set.

I totally thought of a circus when I saw the train cards so colored them with really fun, bright colors. Did you notice the train tracks? The stamp is so easy to match up I was able to create a long track without a hitch. Without a hitch--ha!

Wouldn't it be cute to add a character to the engine car window? Of course, I think of this after the fact. LOL.

You still have time to snag some of the latest release so why don't you take a gander at the other new goodies in the Whimsy shop.

LIM Guest Designer

I'm so excited to be guest designing for the current Less is More #387 Sketch Challenge! I hope you'll play along!

I don't use sketches often as I sometimes find it difficult to think outside the box with them. It took me a while to come up with this design but I loves it. I loves it to death!

It's a one layer card with just some simple stamping, minimal coloring and lots of Wink of Stella. I can see this working as a graduation card, birthday, congrats, etc. I love cards that are multi-purpose for those last-minute card needs.

The Details: Pretty Pink Posh Happy New Year, MFT More Essential Sentiments, Memento Tuxedo Black, Versafine Onyx Black, Clear Wink of Stella, Copics E40, E41 E42, C0 and C00

Monkey Birthday

Monkeys make me happy . . . monkeys make me happy. . . . These are adorable and will pair so nicely with my other Little Agenda images (bunnies, peoples, cats, dogs--and I hope someday, a variety of jungle and/or farm animals plus accessories like different hats and such).

I started by sponging the background in ombre greens. I then laid a stencil down and used one of my handy dandy Costco baby wipes to remove the ink by pressing and holding it on the stencil until I liked the results. All jungly but not too jungly.

The cover plate and included sentiment diecut make for an easy design layout so I just added a few monkeys, monkeys, monkeys and a mini sentiment from Celebration balloons.

I'm entering this in Seize the Birthday without optional number topping, Simon Says Wednesday For the Boys, Watercooler Wednesday #169 All About Occasions, Addicted to Stamps and More #291 Anything Goes

The Details: Mama Elephant Little Monkey Agenda, Tri Window Cover, Celebration Balloons, Newton's Nook Tropical Leaves Stencil, Distress Oxide Twisted Citron, Peeled Paint and Lucky Clover, Ranger Multi Medium Matte, Copics

CDD May Release Day 2 Extras

So yesterday you may have seen some of my fellow DT gals sharing the upcoming CDD Mermaid Tail dies. Fabulous, right? Well, I cut it out and saw . . . moustaches! You see, the main die cuts the mermaid tail in your cardstock with a bunch of scales and a moustache as leftovers.

How could I resist making party favors by gluing the moustaches to sticks and popping them out of cupcakes. Such a perfect design for the kids to have fun with dad for Father's Day. But, add a beard and you get . . . Santa!

Talk about versatility and stretching your supplies!

The Details: CDD Mermaid Tail Dies, Classic Cars, World's Greatest, Fancy Frames Dies, Stitched In Circle Dies, Ranger Multi Medium Matte, Doodlebug Design Milk and Cookies 6x6 Paper Pad, Ranger Super Fine White Embossing Powder

CDD Mini Release - Balloon Parade

Over at Craftin Desert Divas, we're having a special mini release for a new Holiday Border Die set, featured yesterday, and the new Balloon Parade stamps that are the focus for today.

The moment I saw Balloon Parade, I immediately thought of pairing it with March On. And with the grass from Outdoor Landscape Dies 2. Honestly tho, the latter is because I was tired of coloring so used the grass as grounding. Lazy sod! LOL. I'm using this for a baby card I need for the office but I could have paired it with a different background and had it be for a general celebration too. Love that versatility!

Notice the clouds? I used the cloud die from Scene Builders as a mask. Such a soft and pretty effect.
