First Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends!

 It has been a long time since I have created a new card and probably even longer since I shared my project here on my blog.

I had a request to make a card for a first birthday so I couldn't resist using this adorable image from Mo's Digital Pencil

Isabella Curly Girl

Hello Crafty Friends

It's hard to believe that summer vacation is almost over and school will be starting soon.

I opened my daycare back up last week and it has been wonderful to be surrounded by happy young faces all day.

My card today features Isabella Curly Girls from Digi Doodle Studios. She is a cutie and I paired her up with the Shake Your Shamrocks digi paper set.  There is just something about the colors and patterns in those papers that I can't resist.

Don't forget to join in the challenge over of the Digi Doodle Studios Challenge Blog.  The theme this month is Things With Wings.

This stamp is from Magnolia Stamps.  I have colored it with Distress Inks.  I'm still learning and need lots of practice with the inks but I do love the way this one turned out.

Tiddly Inks Blog Hop Fun With Animals

I am super excited to be a part of the Tiddly Inks new release blog hop. 

 So excited in fact, that I made 3 cards. Lol! 

Card #1

Features the Cool Cat and Dapper Dog. I figured they either had too much fun decking the halls or they got into a bit a mischief.  Either way, they make a cute holiday card. 

Card #2 features rabbit from the Fun Animals Set. I cut out the carrot and the sunglasses from the Fun Animals Extra set as well.

On the inside of the card I used the party hats from the Punky Pups Sentiment set.

Card #3 Once again features Cool Cat and Dapper Dog but this time for a birthday card.

On the inside of the card I used a sentiment from the Punky Pups Sentiment set

I hope that you like the new images as much as I do.

Please follow along on the blog hop. The other designers have lots of creative projects to share as well.

Birthday Card

  

I have been playing around with my distress reinkers to paint my stamped images. I have had my reinders for a very long time and I have been wanted to learn how to paint with them. I have watched several youtube videos and practiced lots. I still have lots to learn and need to spend much more time practicing. This is the first completed project I have featured on my blog but it's not my first painted image.  That one is a DT project and will be featured later.

This card is for my niece who will be celebrating her birthday in August.
