Card Patterns Sketch #160 – Happy Birthday

By Yvonne

  • Stamps – Cat’s Pajamas “Away We Go” clear set and Hero Arts “Year Round Sentiments” clear set
  • Patterned paper – Die Cuts with a View “Dragonfly Flower”
  • Die cut made with Spellbinders Nestabilities “Labels Nine”
  • Flowers – Prima
  • Pearls – KaiserCraft
  • Glitter dots – Mark Richards

This is a sparkly birthday card for my great niece. I am getting it to her late, but it has a bunny on it in time for Easter! I used the current card sketch at Card Patterns this week: Sketch #160. I’ve had the image colored for quite some time with Copic markers, but just didn’t find the right combination of papers and sketch for it. I like having the contrasting lights and darks with such busy paper. The sentiment is heat embossed with white embossing powder so that it stands out. And there is a lot of sparkle for a six year old! Thanks for visiting today and Happy Easter!

Merry Penguin Christmas!

By Yvonne

  • Stamps – The Cat’s Pajamas set N-7475
  • Die cuts – Spellbinder’s Nestabilities “Lacey Circles” and “Standard Circles Large”
  • Border punch – Martha Stewart
  • Embossing Folder – from the Cuttlebug “Christmas Set”

It has been a long time since I’ve posted with all of the holiday preparations and all! This is one of the cards I made to send from our family. Unfortunately I didn’t make as many as I would have liked to get in the mail. I do love all of the penguins that The Cat’s Pajamas has in their sets! These guys are doing the “See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil” thing! I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!

Magic Rabbit – Clean & Simple

By Yvonne

  • Stamp set – The Cat’s Pajamas “Presto” (both rabbit/hat and sentiment) – image colored with Copic markers
  • Die cuts – Spellbinder’s Nestabilities “Labels Twenty” and “Ribbon Banners”
  • Patterned paper – American Crafts “a la Carte: Balsamic”
  • Cardstock – solids – Bazzill; Dots – BoBunny “Wine Dot”

This stamp set couldn’t have been more perfect for my needs this week. I just happened to spot it on the Cat’s Pajamas’ site last week and quickly ordered it, knowing that I planned to make cards to present to Trenton’s magic mentors at their magic show tonight. Not a lot of time, but I got the set very quickly (Thank you!) and went about making four of these cards for the mentors. I was inspired by the current Clean & Simple sketch #167 for the card design. I colored and cut out the bunny image and popped it up, along with the sentiment banner, for some dimension. It was fun to layer this card with the different patterns and textures. Thanks for stopping by.
