a CASEd Angry Bird

I saw a similar card on Pintrest, sadly it had a broken link so I don't know who the creator was. I had already figured out most of the characters from the game but had decided how to use them. Then I saw the card!  Here is what I did.

• The card base is Tempting Terquoise with a front of Daffodil Delight.
• My punch art used the following punches for the charectors.
• Black Bird: 
• (1) 1 3/8 Circle in Black
  (1/2) 1 3/8 Circle in Gray
  (2) 1/2 Circles in Gray
  (2) circles from the Bitty Punch Pack in White
  (1) circle from standard Circle punch
  (1) sm Heart in Pumpkin
  Red, Black and Saffron scraps
• Red Bird: 
•  (1) 1 3/8 Circle in Red
• (1/2) 1 3/8 Circle in White
• (1) Boho Flower in Black
• (1) Boho Flower in Red
• (1) sm Heart in Saffron
• (1) sm Heart in Black
• (2) circles from the Bitty Punch Pack in White
• Cut punch pieces according to the picture and assemble. Use your Black Marker for the eyes.
• Pig:
• (1) 1 3/8 Circle in Olive
• (1) sm Oval in Olive
• (2) Boho Flowers in Black
• (2) Circles from the Bitty Punch Pack in White
• (3) Circles from the Bitty Punch Pack in Olive
• Blue Bird: 
• (1) sm Oval
• (2) circles from the Bitty Punch Pack
• (1) sm Heart in Pumpkin
• (1) Boho Flower in Turquoise
• Black scraps
• Make eyes with your Black Marker.
• Yellow Bird:
• (1)    Full Heart in Saffron
• (1/2) Wide Oval
• (1) Boho Flower in Black
• (1) sm Heart in Pumpkin
• (2) circles from the Bitty Punch Pack in White
• Red Scraps
• Cut punches according to the picture and assemble. Place white belly on top of heart punch and round the bottom with your Snips. Use you Black Marker to make eyes.
• The base for the punch art is a 3"x3" piece of Whisper White CS that I ran through the Big Shot in the Starburst Folder(retired)
• I layered it onto a piece of Old Olive and added two  1"x3 1/4" fringed pieces as grass.
• I made the banner from a strip of Whisper White that has a phrase from the retiring Hostess Set "Happiest Birthday Wishes" I colored the stamp with markers before stamping it onto the banner.
• So there is my card, I wish I knew who to give the layout credit to, sadly as fun as Pintrest is it often has broken links.
• I have redone the bottom of this post 3 times now and it still is posting strange. Sorry

Happiest Birthday Wishes

Using up soon to retire DSP! I love the Well Worn DSP and I am going to miss it.

• The card base is Cajun Craze with a front of Well Worn DSP with the edges distressed.
• Using the Label Framelit I cut a piece of Marina Mist and the embossed it with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.
• I cut two flags from different pieces of Well Worn.
• On Crumb Cake Using Not Quite Navy ink I stamped the image from Happiest Birthday Wishes twice. on the first one I punched the center circle out, then punched the whole circle out.  On the second one I punched the second second circle only. Using Dimensionals I stacked the circles on top of each other.

From looking at the card I think you can see how all the pieces went together, if you have any questions just let me know!

Smooches

Have you bought your Smooches?  April is the month to pre-order some fun products that will be in the catalog in June.
Here is a fun Herringbone card that we made this month in club using Summer Smooches DSP.

• The card base is Whisper White.
• The herringbone design was done by cutting a piece of Whisper White that was cut 4"x5 1/4" layered with a piece of Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets cut the same size. Strips of DSP were cut 1/8" to 1/2" wide.  After building the pattern the piece was added to the front.
• The Curly Label punch was used to cut an opening in the front of the card.  
• The phrase from Happiest Birthday Wishes(a Hostess Set) was stamped on the inside of the card(Real Red) showing through to the front. 
• The cupcake from Itty Bitty Bits was stamped on a scrap of Whisper White and punched with the Itty Bitty punch and popped up with 1/4 of a Dimensional.

Starting Thursday night at 9 pm the Llama Blog Hop will be starting we are highlighting the Summer Smooches as well as the soon to retire In Colors. So make sure you come back for that.

Happiest Birthday Wishes

New Color, new ribbon!

• The card base is the new In Color Island Indigo layered onto that is Whisper White, Melon Mambo, then another Island Indigo.
• The top layer was ran through the Big Shot with a new Textured Impressions Embossing Folder called Designer Frames. A set of two folders, one this oval and one that is a rectangle.
• I punched two holes at the top and threaded the new Polka Dotted ribbon in Melon Mamba through them.
• I colored the stamp from the Hostess Set Happiest Birthday Wishes with Island Indigo and Melon Mambo and stamped it on Whisper White then punched it with the Wide Oval punch. The punched out piece fits perfectly in the embossed frame.

A fast and easy card!

Have a wonderful week!

Elebration

I fell in love with this little stamp when I first saw it in the A la Carte section of the new catalog and it was first on my order, This card uses many "new" items and was fun to make.

• The card base is Baja Breeze cut at 4 1/4" x 11" folded at 5 1/5" with 1/2" cut off the front. I ran the front through the Big Shot with the new Stripes folder. Add a 1" strip of striped DSP from Just Add Cake to the inside edge of card so that it peeks out when closed.
• Elebration is stamped with Stazon onto Watercolor paper and colored with Ink and an Aqua Painter. I pulled my colors from the DSP; the elephant is Baja Breeze with Blushing Bride ears , the balloon is Peach Parfait and Poppy Parade, the cake is a mix of Peach Parfait and Blushing Bride with Wild Wasabi scallops and Poppy Parade candle and plate, the grounding shadow is River Rock.
• I stamped the hip hip hooray from the Hostess set Happiest Birthday Wishes in Poppy Parade right onto the Watercolor paper.
• I layered the image onto Island Indigo (new In color) and then on Peach Parfait, then placed it on the card base.
• Last I added new ruffled ribbon in Island Indigo.

I did get several cards made this week so I should be able to post some even though I will be back at Scout Camp. There is 4 more weeks to go and then it will be over until next year.  I hope that you all have a wonderful week end! It is my youngest's Birthday today, he is turning 15, so we will be partying tonight!
