Birthday Buttons

Have to admit I have been a bit on the lazy side this week. Kept coming through to the craft table but couldn't settle. Think my mojo was away for a wander in the desert. Anyway it seems to have decided to put in appearance.

Circles & Dots

Speaking about going round in circles then today's card certainly hits the spot.

Today's card is a first for me - doing a circle card - and is cut from BoBunny's Back to Backs Alissa Spunky, as is the scalloped circle. The image was Bugaboo Stamp's free image a couple of weeks ago and which I coloured with copic pens and distressed the edge with Versacolor's Petal Pink. The ribbon was punched from another piece of cardstock from the Alissa range, this time 'Twirls' using EK Success' border punch - Donut Chain. Finished off with a silver 'Happy Birthday' peel off.

I am entering it into a few challenges. Firstly into Sketch & Stash's Challenge 39 - make a circle card and use new or forgotten stash. My stash is new the EK Success punch - Donut Chain.

Secondly into Digi Doodles Shop's Best Challenge - Circles and Dots - it certainly has circles and dots.

And last but not least One Stitch At A Time Challenge - 'Lace, Ribbon's & Bows' Challenge - the ribbon being a paper ribbon.

One Cool Dude!

Today's effort is for Tara and Sarah's godfather and who they sometimes refer to as their foster dad (long story).

The digital image is Cool Cat from Bugaboo Stamps which I coloured with copic pens, die cut with Nestabilities Labels Eight and inked the edges with Butterscotch Whispers Archival ink pad. Also used the ink pad to colour the sentiment. The mats were made using BoBunny's Bug Me Dot (both sides) and Basic Grey's Aged and Confused Sublime Collection - Circus Strip. The final touch was adding red, green and brown buttons.

50th Birthday

A friend asked me to do a birthday for her sister-in-law's 50th Birthday, and who was described to me as a pink sparkly type of person.

I knew that I would be using a digital stamp from Bugaboo from the 'Pink Ribbon' range - Meg. I had a rummage through my stash and found a long forgotten bundle of matstock from DCWV called 'All Dressed Up', selecting a pink/grey/black glittered striped mat and a pink and black flowered mat. I made the base card from black cardstock from K&Company's recycled range - Remake Night Blacks. The plain pink cardstock also came from K&Company - Remake Berry Pinks.

I tried a new fold, well to me, for this card, called Joy Fold, which I saw as a tutorial over at Whimsie Doodles Tuesday Tutorials adapting the measurements slightly. For the digital stamp, I coloured the majority with copic pens using Cotton Candy Stickles for Meg's shoes, bag and wrap and Fruit Punch Stickles for the flower. The final touch was to attach the the sentiment with glittered pink brads.

I have a feeling that it ticks the pink and sparkly boxes.

Papa Gibb's Birthday

Phew, got it done, this one was about 10 days in the making as I kept getting interupted. Having to get card orders done. At least I will be able to give to Billy on Monday. Just have to get his pressie now.

I started off with the image, a digistamp - Turtle Birthday - from Bugaboo, which I coloured with watercolour pencils. Using my nestabilities - Labels Ten - cut out three labels, and edging the image die-cut with green. Starting with the bottom mat and working up to the image, all mats were from BoBunny and called Cotton Candy Popsicle, Ella Enchanted, Clover Dot and Abbey Road Stripe.

Sketch & Stash Challenge 37

Not having done a challenge for ages I thought I would have a bash at one again and the one over at Sketch and Stash caught my eye. To be eligible for the challenge you have to use the sketch provided and use something new from your stash - my something new is the digital stamp from Bugaboo Stamps and coloured with copic pens.. The cardstock that I used was from BoBunny's - Abbey Road, Abbey Road Stripe and Abbey Road Dot. The flowers and brads are from my stash. The 'Happy Birthday' sentiment is a gold peel off coloured brown with peel off markers.

Although I posted this card on my blog yesterday I came across the Simon Says' a recipe! Challenge whilst blog hopping today, so I thought I would put it in for the challenge as I think it has all the recipe ingredients - 1 image, 2 patterned papers and 3 types of embellishment.

Just a Note .....

Just a note to say well done and to put in my donation to my neighbour's daughter, Karen, who for her 40th birthday did a parachute jump to raise money for cancer research.

My image is from Bugaboo Stamps' Pink Ribbon range and I have to blame Shell for leading me into the shop and encouraging my spend. This little lady is call Penny and she coloured is in with copic pens. I cut out and embossed Peggy using Nestabilities Labels Ten and chalked the embossed edge with pink chalk. The backing mats were cut from papers from The Press Company and called 'Multi Dot' and 'Pink Filigree Corner'. The sentiment is stamped using a stamp from Funstamps. I added a couple of brads and fixed them to the card with foam pads.
