From the three tenders

kelly-morning-starbeaksI cracked up when this arrived in my inbox from Kelly. Isn’t it just great! I don’t know where she found that sentiment, maybe from her computer, but it’s just perfect. Too funny!!!

Happy Birthday to you

Filed Under Birthday, Cats, DT: Beate H. | 1 Comment

beate-birthdayA fun birthday card from the new design team – thank you Beate. I had to laugh when this came through – poor Frisky Fradey having to endure not only the pop of a jack-in-the-box but also Fluffy kitty’s singing!!! I love her use of browns and the little pop of green in the toy and ribbon.

Another year older

Filed Under Animals, Birthday, DT: Heike I. | 3 Comments

heike-clock-smLooks like someone is turning 40! Heike created this clever card using die cuts and loads of critters. I just love her how she put all the little animals around the clock – too cute. And her choice of cutting the clock out in black really makes it stand out but not so much that you don’t notice everything else that’s going on. I wonder if she’ll add more animals for number 50? :)

It’s my party

Filed Under Birthday, DT: Kelly C., Dogs | 1 Comment

kelly-its-my-party2I would have loved to receive this cute little party invitation in the mail, wouldn’t you? Kelly sent this in and I think it’s just great. Her choice of bright primary colors, perfect. I also love what Cupcake the dog is saying, “Can you come? huh? huh? Can you come puhhhhhlease!”

sandy-penelope-smSandy sent in the cutest birthday card! I love her layers of green and the fact that she used a big piece of ribbon behind the main image to give it some dimension. The colors she chose to color the main image are so bright and cheery – and love the dots on the fish! Finishing it off with the pop of orange was a terrific choice AND using just “hbd” instead of spelling everything out gives it that modern, texting touch.

Happy happy happy birthday

barbara-happybirthday-smBarb did a great job with this birthday card. I think it shows that by simply using one stamp over and over again you can really make a big statement. Her layers and color choices are terrific – the pop of orange really makes the card. Tying it off with a piece of colored twine just finishes it perfectly.

Birthday book

Kelly sent in this Birthday Book project! What a great idea because trying to keep track of all the birthdays and anniversaries gets to be a bit taxing. Now you can have your own little book to do just that!

The cover is just so cute with Cupcake the dog and his wild hat. She sewed baker’s twine into the hat and fluffed the ends. I also love the big black dot that really shows off the main image and then she carried it through the thought bubble. She said she printed the tabs and sentiment on her computer.

She didn’t just do the outside but created little month tabs and added a cute little ribbon so you could keep your place.

Party hat dog

Filed Under Birthday, DT: Sandy A., Dogs | 2 Comments

sandy-callie-sm This would be a fun birthday card or if you switched the stamp an anytime card. Thanks Sandy A.

The letters on the background paper give this card lots of movement, and the little squares give it loads of texture. I love the accents of ribbons and little pearls – even one to top off the doggy’s party hat. Very cute indeed.

Did someone say cake? (chicken)

Filed Under Birthday, DT: Meg C. | 2 Comments

meg-chicken-smAnother “Did someone say cake” card from Meg! This time it’s a frazzled Feather’s MacGee chicken – bwwwwaaaaak!

Here’s what Meg did:
The first is a fun clean-and-simple one with Feathers MacGee.
1. I used Papertrey Ink’s Sunshine Impression plate on Papertrey Ink Harvest Gold cardstock.
2. I cut out another piece of Harvest Gold using Nestabilities Labels 4 and stamped Mr MacGee onto it, and did some quick Copic coloring. The sentiment was stamped with Memento Danube Blue.
3. I added a Labels 4 frame from some old SU patterned paper, popped up on pop-dots.

Did someone say cake? (dog)

Filed Under Birthday, DT: Meg C., Dogs | 2 Comments

meg-dog-smMeg actually sent this card to me in the mail! I was so excited when I opened it up. I love the 3-D dog and can’t wait to try the technique. AND best of all you don’t need those silly glasses like you do at the movies.
1. Fargo Fradey was stamped three times onto Papertrey Ink’s Harvest Gold. I added some shading with Copic Y21, and used prismacolor pencils on his eyes, nose, and tongue. Then I cut him out in layers (his back legs and tail; his body and front legs; and his head) and attached using foam tape.
2. I made a spring for him to bounce off the page with by wrapping a piece of wire around a pencil about eight times, then used 3-D glue dots to embed each end of the wire and attach to the card and to Fargo.
3. The patterned paper is Stampin’ Up (discontinued) Washington Apple. I stamped the sentiment using Stampin’ Up’s Bashful Blue, and attached it with a pop-dot.

Did someone say cake!

Filed Under Birthday, DT: Meg C. | 2 Comments

meg-cake-smWhen I opened up this card that Meg sent in I just had to smile. You might not know but I’m a red-headed freckle-faced girl, so I immediately saw myself as a little girl with a big ol’ empty plate. :)

Here’s what Meg did:

1. Cut out banner using Papertrey Ink’s banner dies, adhered to card, and added stickers and buttons.
2. Stamped Abagail is Too Late for Cake onto Papertrey Ink’s Rustic Cream paper and colored with copics.  Stamped again onto patterned paper and cut out for her bow, dress, and shoes.
3. Stamped “Did Someone say Cake!?!” using Colorbox Rouge Chalk Ink.
4. Adhered sentiment, Abagail, and brackets using pop-dots.
The patterned paper and stickers are from Echo Park’s Life is Good collection.

Linda is at it again! I love the pink and black color scheme. And how perfect is her pink recipe paper in the background.

She also sent in a close-up shot so you can see how she layered the plate and even her shoes!

danielle-1-smDanielle created this wonderful birthday card with lots of glitz! I love the way she slightly shaded the edges of the main picture and then made the fancy beads go over it.

Too late for cake

Filed Under Birthday, Cats, DT: Annie F., Food, People | 3 Comments

annie-toolateforcake-smSo a little bit of a confession…this is my birthday week, and even though it’s already past mid week I’ll be posting a few birthday related cards.

The first one was sent in by Annie. Oh what yum I say. She stamped Penelope and kitty Percy and the word bubble…but she actually drew the cake! Isn’t it the cutest!
