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.

Danielle created this wonderful birthday card. I love the way she colors – her shading just adds so much! And the embellishments she chose are just purrrrrr-fect.

Another “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.

Meg 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.

When 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 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.

So 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!

Wanda created this very cute birthday card. I love the circle and the scalloped one underneath – a really nice way to make an image stand out. That, and she actually cut the bear out and used thick tape behind him so he’s dimensional.

Thao’s ability of adding such sweetness through color is simply wonderful. I love the soft pink pig and that she went around the entire image with the faintest of blue markers. The background papers are very unexpected – pairing a plaid with a floral and just for fun throwing in what looks like sweater texture on the light blue.

This card is adorable with a capital “A”!

Crafty Math Chick created this cute Happy Birthday card using yummy cupcake treats. It looks like Poindexter is trying to get a paw full of that pink icing. Better watch out!

Some years “another birthday” does feel just like this. Georgia created the screen and stamped Katie kitty hangin’ on. Love the use of the background texture, black framing and the silver buttons

This “activity” is actually what inspired the original drawing. There really was a Katie kitty and if I wasn’t paying attention and she wanted in I would sometimes find her half way up the screen door!

Thao found some Martha Stewart flower embellishment stickers that were just perfect! She stamped Fairy Blossom and colored her in using Copic markers. She added a little shimmer to her wings – I think that’s a must for fairies, don’t you. :) She then stuck on the flowers so that it seemed like they were just too fragrant for Fairy Blossom to resist. Absolutely lovely.

Petuna is certainly in the birthday mood with her kitty balloon!

Judy created this card using both high and low tech skills. She printed the sentiment from her computer and then used a template and her trusty scissors to cut out the oval. She colored everything in with Copic markers – love the use of the shading. She edged the oval with aqua fluid chalk and doodled around it with a black marker. She added a string to the balloon so it wouldn’t float away. I guess this is one time that kitties and chickens are gettin’ along. :)

Thao created a Hoppy birthday card using a disposable coaster of all things.
Here’s what she did:

1. Glue watercolor paper to disposable coaster and sanded edges.
2. Sponge edges blue.
3. Stamp “Go Froggie, Go” image three times.
4. Watercolor images with watercolor crayons.
5. Spray entire sheet with Glimmer Mist.
6. Stamp “Hoppy Birthday” using a combination of two sentiments from Stampin’ Up.
7. Tie ribbon and attach to cardbase/patterned paper using foam tape.
8. Glue dewdrops to four corners.

I love the way it shimmers (gotta love those Glimmer Mist sprays)! And the little dewdrops in the corners add such a nice finishing touch.
