Lawn Fawn Dinosaur birthday card

Hi guys!

I’m back again with another card to share. 

This one is a masculine birthday card, featuring some lawn fawn and some odd girl stamps. 

For this card, I stamped my dinosaurs (Lawn Fawn) and used a combination of green copic markers polka dotted to create texture. I then fussy cut them out and popped them aside. The card base is grey, layered with patterned papers from Kaisercraft. The party hats are from a Some Odd Girl Stamp set, coloured again with my copics. 

Here is a close up of the embellishments and the texture on my dinosaurs. 

I am entering this card in to the Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge - Party Time and the My Favorite Things,

colour combination challenge. And crafters castle anything goes

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a wonderful New Year’s Eve! 

Lawn Fawn - Dinosaur Birthday Card

Hi guys! 

I have a fun, masculine, birthday card to share

I started by inking up the dinosaur and a bunch of leaves, and palm trees from Lawn Fawn - Critters from the past set, and coloured them all in, using my Copics and Spectrum Noir markers, I then fussy cut them all, and popped them aside. My card is made up of papers from Echo Park, Kaisercraft and Doodlebug. I die-cut a couple of circles, using the Bigshot, and then layered them together. I finished off the card with a few clusters of resin dots.

From the Heart - Masculine Birthday Cards

Hello, Hello

I have a couple of cards to share today, both featuring the same stamp, but different layouts/cards

Ok, so we'll start with this one. The stamp is from From the Heart digital stamps, and was coloured with my copics/spectrum noir markers. I used papers from My Minds Eye, and Doodle Bug and layered them all up. The sentiment for this one is My Favourite Things.

Next up 

This one uses exactly the same stamps, but I used papers from Echo Park, and layered them up. The sentiment is from another My Favourite Things stamp set.

Some Odd Girl - Hipster Kody. World's Greatest Brother

Hi guys! Sorry for the break between postings, it's been a tad crazy here. Anyway, on to my card

For this card, I had Hipster Kody coloured on my desk for about a week, before he ended up on a card. I coloured him using a mix of copic and spectrum noir markers, and fussy cut him out. I used papers from My Minds Eye and doodled around the edges of all of them. I then layered them up, and added a die cut circle, stamped with a sentiment from My Favourite Things. 

I attached Kody using dimensional adhesives and doodled on the lettering, and Kody's eyes.

Some Odd Girl - Penguin Birthday Card

Hi Hi!

I made a birthday card recently, for the most lovely guy I know... 

Here it is - 

I started with the Penguins, from Some Odd Girl, stamped them up and coloured them using my Spectrum Noir Markers. I added a bow in the girl penguins feathers, using a tiny scrap of American Crafts patterned paper. I doodled around the border, then selected my paper. The orange polka dot one is from Kaisercraft, and the blue is through the bigshot, using a chevron embossing folder. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp, and I added some embellishments, buttons and a resin Freckled Fawn star.

Some Odd Girl - Octopus Birthday Card for Dad!

HEY HEY!

I've been crafting again, and just haven't gotten around to photographing/blogging/uploading them yet... I have a card going into my stores (Madeit, and Etsy) tonight, so keep an eye out!

Anyway, on to the card for my dad

I started with the Octopus stamp, which came in my last Some Odd Girl Order, (he jumped into my cart, before I had a chance to say "Stop, don't, come back"), I coloured him up with my Spectrum Noir Markers, and then set him aside, I grabbed some patterned papers (from American Crafts), and doodled around the outside. I added a strip of ribbon and a sentiment. The anchor is from the stamp set, I've embossed it in silver.

From the Heart Stamps - Doggy Birthday

Hey Hey! Just a quick almost midnight post, as I gave myself a break from the uni lectures I've been catching up on, and crafted... 

If you've ever wondered what my desk looks like, while crafting, this is it 

Anyway, onto my card - 

I used the digital stamp from From the Heart Stamps, coloured up with my Spectrum Noir Markers, and patterned papers from Teresa Collins and Simple Stories. I doodled around the edges, and die-cut the main image, leaving the balloons free to "float"and also die cut a circle. I then added some buttons, twine and a sentiment, which is from Simon Says Stamp...

From the Heart - Digital Stamps - Masculine Birthday Card

Hi Hi! You may not see much in the next two weeks, as I've just started my first prac for my teaching degree (yay!) I did craft last night, and Saturday night though...

 

I started by printing a newly acquired digital stamp, from From the Heart Stamps, and colouring it up using my Spectrum Noir Markers. I then trimmed it out, and set it aside. The patterned papers on this card are a bit of a mix, with Authentique, Kaisercraft and Echo Park. I trimmed them down, mounted them on white card, and of course doodled some borders around them. I added two eyelets to the Echo Park paper, and a trio of buttons, the largest of which has a twine bow.

Anyway, on to todays card!

For this one, I printed out the digi - Birdbrain with Candle, and coloured it up, using my Spectrum Noir Markers. I then doodled around the edges, and set the image aside. For the card base, I used paper by Sn@p and layered it up with some very old October Afternoon, and Echo Park papers. I doodled around all the layers, and stamped a sentiment. I added some twine for some texture, and a couple of rhinestones.

Dad's Birthday Card!

Hiya! I'm slowly getting back into crafting! I've had a chance to play, after working on all my uni readings today! But, this card, I created yesterday...

For this one, I started by stamping, and colouring up the dad image from New Parents (The Greeting Farm), and then setting him aside. I chose patterned papers from Echo Park and Teresa Collins, and layered them up with black card stock. I then stamped the sentiment, which is a mix of two My Favourite Things sets. I added four black rhinestones, as well as a metal cog, to match the paper and called this card done!

The Greeting Farm - Little guy's birthday card

Heya! I have a couple of cards to share, over the coming days, so keep your eyes peeled :)

This one is a birthday card, that is heading into my store right now!

I started off, by choosing some old papers from my stash... Some REALLY old Bo-Bunny and Cosmo Cricket, that I originally purchased when I first started crafting!! I have used these papers to build the rest of my card, I stamped, and coloured up (spectrum noirs) a TGF image, and trimmed it down to size. I stamped  the sentiment going up the side, and added a trio of rhinestones!

Boys Birthday Card - Bugaboo Digital Stamps!

Good Morning! I'm just popping in, before heading into work, to share a quick card -

 

I started by printing out the digi image, from Bugaboo stamps, and then coloured him up, using my Spectrum Noir markers, and then selected my papers, I used paper from My Minds Eye, and some black card stock. The patterned paper (the checks), has been in my stash forever! I bought it a few years back, for a swap I participated in, and bought too much! I stamped my sentiment, then added some stick on rhinestones, in black, which I always forget I have!

The Greeting Farm - Masculine Birthday Card

Last night, I got a burst of creative energy, at about midnight, so, instead of ignoring it, I crafted!

Here is the card I made - 

I didn't particularly want to sit an colour, so I raided my coloured images that had never made it onto a card, and found this little Greeting Farm dude, I looked at him, then went through my stash of patterned papers (mostly offcuts) and came up with the dark brown back ground paper, the green plain paper and a small piece of yellow paper. I believe these are all from Echo Park. I keep all offcut pieces of patterned paper, especially if they are half a normal card size, or more... 

I layered everything up, did some doodling and then attached my little dude using dimensional adhesive. I added a paper clip, some washi tap, a button and a trio of enamel dots.

The Greeting Farm - Masculine/Boys Card

Hi guys! 

Just another quick note, to point you in the direction of my store which currently has 10% off using the coupon code EarlyXmas, until the 10th of October, 2013.

Now, on to my card today... I've got a boys card to share (as I keep selling out of them!)

I got new stamps in the mail, yesterday, from The Greeting Farm, so I had to ink up this little dude (how cute is he?!)... I coloured him up using my Spectrum Noir Markers, and trimmed it down to fit behind the polaroid frame, which is from Kaisercraft. I added a sentiment, using stickers from My Minds Eye, and my Dymo Labeller. The patterned papers I've used are from Echo Park, and have been doodled around. I added some Washi Tape in yellow to some white card stock and made some banners out of them. The card base is made from Stampin' Up! Pumpkin Pie card. The embellishments at the top are from D-Lish scraps, and include a star button in red, a wood veneer in a heart shape and two little enamel dots.

Father's Day Card - MFT stamps & The Alley Way Stamps - Clean and Simple

Hi guys! I've been busy contemplating my uni assignments, and not much else, so I haven't had a lot of time to craft... I did get to make my dad a Father's Day card though... 

My dad is quite difficult to make for, as he's not a 'sports fan' or, anything remotely similar to what people think of for father's day cards! So, I went with something quite simple - 

I used patterned papers, from Echo Park, and stamps from both My Favourite Things, and The Alley Way stamps, I used the "chalkboard" technique on these, and doodled around the papers, using a white gel pen (on the dark paper) and a black felt tip pen on the patterned papers. I added twine, some metal swirl paper clips, and a few rhinestones...

My Favourite Things - Father's Day card

Hi ya! I'm on a bit of a Father's Day kick at the moment, trying to get a few bits into my card store, in time to have them in the mail for September 1! 

Here is one I made up yesterday -

I used the MFT Graphi Tee Stamp set, to stamp the "World's Greatest", the Dad was cut out using my bigshot and alphabet dies, in Artichoke card stock, and glued down. I used patterned papers from Echo Park (I think!) The yellow is the reverse side of the main background paper. I then added a speech bubble paper clip, a wooden flourish moustache (coloured with a brown spectrum noir marker) and added some buttons stack on top of each other, with a twine bow -

My Favourite Things - Father's Day Card (Masculine)

Hiya! I have a quick card share today, with a tutorial going live over on The Stamp Spot blog this morning, featuring this card... So, head on over and take a little look see, as to how I created this -

I used products from The Stamp Spot store, including patterned paper from Sn@p, washi tape, and of course the MFT stamps. 

The card is pretty basic, but, the stand out feature, in my mind at least, is the chalkboard effect... Here is a close up -
