The Greeting Farm Just for You and I create a Boys Birthday Card

Hi guys! I had some time last night to create, so I headed into my craft room armed with a bunch of challenges.... This is what I came out with.

This is a Tempting Turquoise card base, layered with Confetti White and patterned paper from Stampin' Up!'s Brights collection Paper Stack. On top of that is another piece of Confetti White, which I ran through the Big Shot with an embossing folder to create big polka dots. I then added some gorgeous seam binding ribbon from the Ribbon Carousel store and tied a bow. I cut out two nesting labels and stamped my sentiment, which is from Stampin' Up! in Tempting Turquoise ink. This lil guy is another from The Greeting Farm, (I have an ever expanding collection) and is from the Just for You set, I've coloured him with my Stampin' Write Markers and blender pens. 

I am entering this into four challenges, the first is the "Case Study" over at the TGF Farm Fresh Challenge blog, which was to case the below card. Next up is the Anyone For Anya? inspiration challenge, I took my inspiration from all the blue in the picture. And finally, I'm entering this little card into 2 Anything Goes challenges, the Ribbon Carousel and Simon Says Stamp.

Thanks for popping by! Don't forget, I do have Blog Candy up for grabs here, and also, there is a 15% off all cards for sale at my MadeIt Store.

Stampin' Up! Tempting Turquoise Embossing Powder to decorate Chipboard.

I have to admit, I buy things thinking "oh yeah, I'll use that..." and then they collect dust for ages! Three of the items on this layout are like that... First is the Tempting Turquoise Embossing Powder, then the Fabric from Stampin' Up! And, finally the chipboard. I bought a bunch of Chipboard a while back, with all good intentions, but I really struggle to use it! Anyway, onto the page

So, I used some patterned paper as the background for this (This is a momentous occasion! You should notice I don't usually use a whole page of patterned paper, Ever!) I think it is from Kaisercraft Seaside Collection. I lined up where all my photos needed to go, added some Real Red Patterned Paper (DSP Brights Stack), and the sat with my chipboard embellishment, thinking what to do... I came up with this- 

Smooshed (technical) my VersaMark ink pad all over this chipboard swirl and piled on the Tempting Turquoise embossing powder, and then heat set it. I put it onto the layout, and felt it was missing something, so with some tiny flat back self cover buttons, and Stampin' Up! Designer Series Fabric, I made some embellishments. I also made one a bit bigger and stuck it on too. Then, it came to a title... I think my nephew is just the cutest little guy on the planet, and he will be breaking girls hearts in no time.... So, that's what my title is all about... I used inspiration from Mariah Carey's song Heartbreaker, for this layout (so I can enter it into the Daring You to Scrap Challenge) I'm also entering this into the Anything Goes Challenge at DYSU Challenge Blog
