March Papercraft Business Challenge : Masculine Birthday Card

Hello friends 

This month at Papercraft Business Challenge 

The theme is Male Birthday - Man or boy

Here is what I came up with 

I have had this Apple Blossom stamp for a little bit - 

It was gift that I never got around to yet.

What is more masculine that a cold beer 

with green & blue?

I used various thickness of pop dots to layer

the bottle, the glass of beer, the caps and 

the background elements!

I also used Crystal Effects from Ranger 

to make the bottle asn the glass look like glass.

I hand cut all of the elements including the label for the beer.

I used a few circle punches for the caps

 to add a bit more detail to the card.

I hope you can play along with us at

This month when your these is masculine birthday you will be entered to win 

Thanks for stopping in - 

I can't wait to see your creation!

Joyful Wishes

I am back again today with a another Christmas cards this week.

This year, I am going to try to get more 

Christmas cards done though out the year.

One a week may be hard - but I will try to get more done!

Here is this weeks!

 The stamp set I used was Mama Elephant - Snowmen Agenda.

The squares are the inserts from a Polaroid frame I was using.  

I like them because of the stitching details.

I used Tim Holtz Broken china ink with a cloud die I made.

I used glitter to be the snow base. 

The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn - Into the Woods.

I inked the edges of the squares to make them stand out against the  card.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

 Sweet Stampn' Christmas - Sparkle

Valentine's Card - MFT Adorable Elephants

Hello Friends - 

I was home again today so I had some play time.

I have several coloured images ready to go,

 so putting together a card is much easier.

Today I created this cutie.

 I had this little elephant from My Favorite Things, 

Adorable Elephants on my desk.

I paired it with some paper I had out from 

a card I made earlier & it matched well.

A lot of challenges are Love and red so that's what I am going with.

 I just love this little guy.

I coloured him up with copics C0, C1, C3, C5, R20 & R22.

The sentiment is Tim Holtz.

 One of the challenge sites said layer it up 

& we all know how much I love layers - 

so this was easy.  It is harder to take photos of the layers. 

  

  I used the sketch from a challenge - the layout was easy!

Hog Heaven Card

Hello Friends, 

I had a little play time so I scrolled through some 

challenge sites, & here is what I came up with.

I had this Pig coloured already in my stash, 

He is from My Favorite Things - BB Hog Heaven.

I used the layout from CAS(E).

I have 3 bands of colour on my car, 

except I blended them together & spritzed it.

I die cut a circle and inked clouds & grass 

so I could incorporate the colours from the Sunday Stamps Challenge.

I popped up the piggy on thicker foam & 

the circle is popped up but only a little.

After I completed the blog post I edited the wings to have 

some sparkle with Wink of Stella on them.

I wanted to make this card a Valentine's Card

so I added a sentiment that would allow it to gap over for 

Valentines or even for Anniversary.

Here is one more peak at the finished card!

Thanks for popping in.
