Owl Birthday

 

I'm entering this card in Challenge #4 with Let's Squash It. The challenge was to use an embossing folder and an animal. I chose Tim Holtz Alterations Sizzix Bird Crazy Texture Fade embossing folder- it is part of a stamp and die set. The owl with balloons stamp is part of Unity Stamp Company Hugs, Kisses, & Birthday Wishes July 2017 Sentiment kit and the sentiment- happy birthday- is also from the same set. I used Gina K Designs Amalgam ink on both. I colored in the owl with mostly Pastel Copics and Detail Doodlers. The green paper/card base is from The Stamps of Life. The sequins are Smoothie Mix from SpiegelMomScraps. The challenge ends Jan 31 so feel free to join!

Happy Birthday

 
This is a digital image- Party Bag from Bugaboo Stamps. Click on the link to purchase the digistamp. I used Pastel Copies on most of the image to color it in, I used a Silver GellyRoll pen for the balloon string and ribbon. The background paper is from   The Stamps of Life (TSOL) Smiles collection and the card base is also TSOL cardstock. I stamped happy birthday with VersaFine Black Onyx ink and colored over the block with  Stampin' Up Stampin' Blends Dark Balmy Blue. One thing I learned, Copics bleed through paper and Stampin' Blends don't. The bling is also TSOL. My friend, Jennifer Taylor is having a Stampin' Up (SU) party with Dawn Bourgette, so please click on the SU link to shop with her! NVTNUCKP is the host code to use for Jen to get credit. TFL!

Hey Lady

 

Inside

Happy 2021! I made this card using a Flap & Closure that I bought last year. Click on the link to find out more. I used The Stamps of Life cardstock, With Love Collection, lovebug2stamp die, and hey lady, have a lovely day stamp from Unity Stamp Company January 2016 Grab Bag. I used ColorFine Black Onyx ink on all stamps. I bought this flap and closure die just before Christmas and just had time to play with it last weekend. I should have chosen a different base color, but it started out as a trial run. I used my Cricut Cuttlebug to cut out all dies- hearts, love bug, and the flaps. I just chose not to use the closure dies. I'm going to mail it out soon for a Valentine swap. Thanks for looking!
