Birthday Card for a Lil One

Here's a quick and simple card I made for my cousin's little one, Logan, who turned 3 on Thanksgiving. It's so hard for me to make a card for a child now, especially for a little boy. I definitely don't have many stamps for that...guess I need to buy more! lol I used Stampin' Up! Retired Pacific Point ink and paper (Stampin' In Colors 2008-2009), as well as Zoofari, a recent Retired stamp set.

Card Size: 5 1/2 x 4 1/4


Supplies Needed:
All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise stated!
Stamps: Zoofari (SU Retired), All Holidays
Ink: Stazon Black, Pacific Point (SU Retired)
Markers: Various colors
Paper: Whisper White, Real Red, Gable Green, Pumpkin Pie, Pacific Point (SU Retired), Pacific Point Patterns DSP (SU Retired)
Tools: Ticket Corner Punch, 3-D Dimensionals

12 Weeks of Christmas -- Week 8, SPCC - #25 AND Mojo Monday #114

WOW! That's a lotttt to cover in once post, but I'm super excited about it! lol I'm back with another holiday card, and of course it's for my 12 Weeks of Christmas -- Week 8! (And as always, I know I'm still a behind...) I used some more heat embossing, which I am really beginning to like--A LOT!  It just makes a card look so much more elegant, errr maybe 'ritzier' I should say?! I dunno... But with this card I participated in two blog challenges, my favorite, SPCC and a new challenge for me at the Mojo Monday Blog! Like always, I loveeee Sam's colors this week for SPCC # 25...and those of you who really know me, know that I absolutely LOVEEE kraft paper (hence why I created my wedding invites with kraft, teehehe), so I was moree than excited to use this color combo! Plus, I just got my new Dasher stamp in and I just HAD to use it! :)

Here is Sam's Combo:

And here is the Mojo Monday #114 Sketch:

 

And finally, here is what I created:

Card Size: 4 1/4 x 5 1/2

Supplies Needed:
All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise stated!
Stamps: Dasher
Ink: Versamark
Paper: Handsome Hunter, Certainly Celery, Kraft, Very Vanilla

12 Weeks of Christmas -- Week 6

Happy Saturday Everyone!

I know I'm a WAYYY late with this, but here is the 12 Weeks of Christmas--Week 6 post! It's another very cute Christmas Ornament. I also used Stampin' Up! Word Flurries Rub-os again. And used a plain glass ornament that I bougth at Michaels. This time I cut a bunch of 2 inch gold ribbon strips and put those inside. And if you look closely there are gold sequents/confetti-like stars inside, too!  All ribbon was bought at Michaels. What do you think?!

Keep an eye out for some more 12 Weeks of Christmas posts!
