Happy Birthday

I didn't have to work today, so I decided to work on some birthday cards and then remembered the sketch challenge at MFT. It's an easy sketch and I thought it would work well with this white and gold DP I have in my stash. Here's the sketch:

This was super easy to create. I cut the strips of DP, added some foam tape to the back and added them to the card front after embossing it with a CB EF. I used some gold CS in my stash to die cut the Happy Birthday with a SB die and glued it onto the top two strips.

You're the Sweetest

My Favorite Things has another great sketch challenge this week. I really enjoy doing sketch challenges. There's something about them that really gets my mojo going. Here's the latest sketch.

And here's my card.

I started by stamping and die cutting the ice cream bars and sticks with various inks in my stash. Once they were put together I cut the strip of Kraft CS, embossed it with the Swiss dots folder for some dimension. I marked where it would go on the card base and then stamped on some tiny hearts, stars and circles with the same inks as the ice cream bars. The greeting was stamped with the same ink as the ice cream sticks. The ice cream bars were added to the strip with foam adhesive. I wanted them to sparkle a little, so I added some clear Wink of Stella to them. I need some thank you cards and thought this would make a sweet thank you.

You're an Angel

Hi. This quick and simple card was created for MFT's sketch Challenge. Here's the sketch:

I purchased this darling MFT angel image at a garage type sale at my local craft store. These Pure Innocence images are so adorable. Anyway, I stamped the image with Memento Black ink, colored her with Copics and then die cut using a Concord and 9th die. Instead of stamping the greeting on a strip of CS, I stamped it below the main panel. I didn't want to cover up this sweet little angel. :-)
