Our 14th Wedding Anniversary

This past Wednesday, Scott and I celebrated our 14th Wedding Anniversary.  This is the card I made for him.....

I found this beautiful quote on Pinterest a few months back on a vinyl wall art picture.  I thought the sentiment would be perfect for an Anniversary card.  

I can tell you the hardest part about making this card was creating the sentiment.  I couldn't find a download online with a digital stamp that had this quote.

To create the sentiment I used Times New Roman and Edwardian Script for the fonts.  Each line of the sentiment was created using text boxes so I could move the boxes and place the text exactly where I wanted it to go.  Then I grouped the text boxes to hold them together.

BOO!

Hello!  

The September Digi at Birdie Brown is so cute - I just had to play along.  I decided to use the sketch from this week's CAS(E) this sketch with the digi and came up with this.....  Aren't those little pumpkins adorable?

I made the little bat using a small heart punch for the wings and a 1/2 inch circle punch for the body.  For the wings I punched out a small heart and then punched the top of the heart again over the negative from the first heart.  Then I just added  booglie eyes.  I'm pretty happy with how he turned out.

First Birthday Lady Bug

Hello!  I have a quick little birthday card to share today. 

I downloaded this cute ladybug digital stamp from Bugaboo Stamps (linked below).  The image is colored using fine point sharpie markers.  I added some crystal effects to the spots.  The layout is super simple.  I typed up and printed a sentiment for the inside that says Happy 1st Birthday, Let's Celebrate!

I'm linking this up to the Dotty Challenge at Simon Says Stamp (notice my ladybug has dots, there are also dots on the yellow DP).  I'm also including it in the Splitcoast Stampers Free 4 All Primary Colors Challenge HERE.

Supplies:
Paper:  Basic Black, Daffodil Delight Polka Dot Parade (SU), PTI White
Ink: Sharpie Fine Tip Permanent Markers
Stamps:  Lady Bug Butterfly - Bugaboo
Accessories:  Crystal Effects

July Birdie Brown Challenge

Hello!  Today I have a couple cards that I made for the July Freebie Challenge at Birdie Brown.

For the first card I printed out the image and colored it myself (as opposed to coloring the image digitally as you will see in my second card).

The pool party background paper is embossed with the SU clouds embossing folder.  I masked the dolphin image and sponged some pool party ink around it.  This card is for my niece's birthday so I thought something cheerful would be appropriate.  Now I need to make an envelope for this 5x5 square card.

The second card is primarily digital:

For this card I made a mirror copy of the dolphin image (original image is on the left of the sentiment).  The image was manipulated using GIMP2.  The dolphins were also colored in gimp.  I'm pretty good at the bucket fill (LOL).  The colored images were then inserted into a word document, sized and printed on Naturals White CS.  I think the image manipulation of the digi stamp is pretty neat.

Thanks for taking the time to check out my cards today.  You can find the Birdie Brown July challenge HERE.
