Happy Birthday Mini Slimline

Hello crafty friends and welcome to my blog! Today I am up on the Kat Scrappiness blog with a clean and simple mini slimline birthday card using some of the latest products from the shop.

I started out by die cutting the Mini Slimline Chevron Coverplate out of some pretty teal paper and backed it with a piece of white card stock. 

I used the Happy Day Stamp Set to stamp out Happy Birthday on to a circle cut with the 

Double Stitched Circles dies in the same teal paper.

What card would be complete without some pretty embellishments? I finished this card off with some pretty pearls from the Silver Pearl Mix.

I just love how this card came out and it was so quick and easy. Kat Scrappiness has hundreds of products to help you with your card making and scrapbooking so head over to the shop and check it out!

Make sure to check out the sale going on right now on Enamel Dots!

This sale has been extended through August 15th!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Good morning crafty friends!

Today is my day on the Rabbit Hole blog and  

it just so happens to be my 50th birthday as well!

I thought it would be fun to make a birthday card in my honor!

It's been a rough week for me so it's kind of appropriate that these 

guys aren't smiling.

Putting party hats on their heads just made 

me laugh since they don't look like they are in a party mood.

My 13 year old son is just getting over the flu and my dad has been in

the hospital since Mother's Day so the mood around here hasn't been

very happy. I'm ready to put it all behind me and 

get everyone healthy again!

All in all though I really like how the card came out, the rainbow

letters really stand out against the black and white background.

Here is a list of all the caffeinated critters used on my card:

Caffeinated Bee

Caffeinated Cat

Caffeinated Crab

Caffeinated Dino

Caffeinated Flamingo

Caffeinated Rabbit

Thanks for joining me today for my birthday, I hope you enjoyed

my card, these caffeinated critters really can be used for any 

type of card you want to make..... just change up your sentiment.

Happy 9th Birthday Simon Says Stamp

🎁 Happy 9th Birthday Simon Says Stamp!🎂

The Wednesday challenge at Simon Says Stamp is a Happy Birthday theme for their 9th birthday!  

In celebration I took out my SSS birthday stamps and my Gina K Wreath Builder

 stencil again and got to work!  

Thank you Gina K!  I have had so much fun with my Wreath Builder stencils and I have been looking at my stamp sets in a new way.  I love flower wreaths but I have been enjoying finding other stamps that would look good in a wreath pattern.  Today I took out my SSS set called Birthday Balloons and those cute little balloons were just the perfect size for the wreath stencil!  I also had fun looking through my ink pads for the perfect rainbow colors!  I backed the balloon panel on black cardstock because I always love the look of rainbow colors against a black background.  The sentiment is from an older SSS stamp set called Square Sayings.  I just love how this card came out!  

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

I hope you get some crafty time in today and have a great day!

Altenew January Inspiration Challenge

I'm back again today with another gorgeous floral Altenew creation for the January Inspiration Challenge.

I had forgotten how much I love the Painted Flowers stamp set.  I really need to keep that set on my desk and use it more.  I made a shaker card today using on of the pretty roses as a background under the shaker bits.  This card is really over the top with glitter paper and lots of sparkly sequins but I love how it turned out!

For some reason I had a very hard time photographing this card, I just couldn't get it bright enough.  Maybe it was the glitter paper but it was not cooperating with the camera at all!  

I used the painted Happy Birthday die from Simon Says Stamp and some gorgeous sequins from Kat Scrapiness.  Ok since I work night shift I really should go take a nap now.  It's hard to pull myself away from my craft room!

Have a great day everyone!

I already am!

CAS(E) this sketch challenge #254

Happy Saturday everyone!  Today I am playing along with the CAS(E) this sketch challenge #254. 

Here is the sketch for this week.

I needed a focal point for my card and that's where Jennifer comes in.  When I can't sleep at night (which is every night) I sit up in bed watching YouTube videos on card making... isn't that what we all do?  Anyway, one of my favorite card makers is Jennifer McGuire and one of the things that I love about her videos is that they are easy to follow.  She makes you feel like you can do any technique she does.  Sometimes it actually works out, like today for example.  I fell in love with her inside out cards and I had to give it a try this morning.  I am absolutely in love with this card and I can't wait to make some more!  I pulled out an old loved stamp set from Avery Elle called "Furry Friends" and I chose the cute dog that looks like my dog Sophie and did some basic copic coloring.  The cute little dog is on the second layer of the card but he peeks through the front of the card, SO CLEVER!  This was such a fun card to make, not too difficult but with stunning results!  The two pictures show the front and inside of the card.  The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is from an older Reverse Confetti stamp set called "Lots To Say".  Here is my card for the challenge, enjoy your weekend and get some crafting time in!

Have a great day!

I already am!
