29 & Holding

Good morning everyone! It's Cassie here, and I've got a fun card for you all today. Today's card is especially fun for me because it's my dad's birthday card! Today is his actual birthday-what better way to celebrate than a blog post! :)

Here's a look at todays card

This card was fun to make. I love pulling pieces from past sets to put together an adorable scene. I started, as I often do, with a stitched rectangle card base. I also die cut a stitched heart from some Neenah Solar White cardstock. I took the (adorably sweet) sloth from Sloth Hang Out set and stamped him on the center of the heart. I made sure that I didn't ink up the ends of the tree limb because I wanted to extend them to the end of the heart, which I did with a Copic multiliner. I applied Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to the edges of the heart with a blender, and Chipped Sapphire to the card base panel. I love these colors together! And, my dad's favorite color is blue so it's perfect in that aspect too.

After the sloth and tree limb were colored, I stamped and colored a bunch of the presents from the I Moose You stamp set and a birthday hat from the Party Pals stamp set. I popped the heart up with some foam tape after splattering some white paint on the card base. Then I attached the present balloons and drew lines for the strings. The final touch was to stamp the sentiment from the Snarky Sentiments set. I love that it says 29 & holding, with a picture of a sloth hanging onto a tree. Too cute! I also added a couple white accents with my white gelly roll pen.

That's it for today! I hope you liked the card. There are so many fun ways to pair the Snarky Sentiments set with loads of the other stamps sets- I can't wait to try more combos! Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you again with another card!

Sorry I'm so slow.

Hello everyone,

I'm back with a belated birthday card.  I'd like to say that I am always on time with birthdays but I'm not so this stamp is perfect.  

This sloth from the Sloth Hang Out set is just adorable and with a sweet little smile on his face.  Makes getting a late birthday card so much better.  

I stamped the image on to some white card stock and I coloured him in with my copics.  I fussy cut him out and set him aside.

I used a piece of light weight grey paper I have in my stash and added it to an A2 size card base.  I then die cut two frames with a rectangle frame die and popped them up with foam tape and added them to the card.

Of course in true Coralynn style I forgot to stamp the sentiment before adding the frames so I stamped it with black ink and added the little leaves around the card to finish it off.

Thanks so much for stopping by, see you again soon.

Hope Your Birthday Was Happy

Good morning everyone and happy Friday! It's Cassie here with another card for you. I'm using the Sloth Hang Out stamp set. I love this cute little sloth! He is ADORABLE! I am the worst about sending cards out on time, so when I saw the cute sentiment I knew this set was going to be one I reached for a lot.

This card was so easy to make. I started by stamping the sloth onto some Bristol Smooth cardstock. I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers to color him in. Next I die cut the circle with stitching out of another piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock.

I have a scalloped die that fits perfectly in the circle so I colored the scallops in with my Zig markers to match the green on the leaves. It gave a great pop of color.

To finish the card I stamped the sentiment in some black ink. That's it for today's card! I hope you enjoyed it. Have a great weekend and I'll see you again soon with another card!

Altering Your Stamps featuring Sloth Hang Out

Happy Thursday, friends!  It's Tara and today I am back with an adorable project featuring the brand new Sloth Hang Out stamp set from Mint Owl Studio.

I wanted to share how you can take a stamped image and alter it to create a completely different look.  This sweet little sloth comes hanging on a branch but by cutting him out and away from the branch I was able to hang him on the frame on the front of my card!  How much fun is that?

This is a simple card design that packs a big punch by making that cute critter a part of the layout!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I will see you again soon!  Bye!
