Happy Birthday all over the bottom

Here's another card I made using the Rainbow Ribbons Tutorial from Technique Junkies. This card is for a gal thus the brighter washi tape that I substituted for the ribbon. The stamp is from Fiskars.

Happy Birthday in the corner card

Here's a card I made using the Rainbow Ribbons technique from Technique Junkies. This was published in the Aug/Sep 2014 issue. I substituted washi tape for the ribbons. It's for a guy so I used some subdued tapes and a non frilly stamp by See Dee's.

Here's to you turning 29 card

Here's a card I made from a Hot off the Press card kit. I've featured other cards from this kit. The base card and envelopes were NOT provided. Each card is made from a 5x7 card base. You attach their papers and paper embellishments. There are enough embellishments to add to the envelope and papers for the insides of the cards too.

The guy I'm sending this card to isn't 29 (and neither am I; although I do say it's my unofficial - official age). Hope he likes it.

Bella Rose Lattice card

Here's the card I sent for Mother's Day (yes I know it was last month). It is from Heartfelt Creations and has a coordinating die that I didn't purchase. I looked prior to this post and discovered the stamp isn't available anymore on their website. I decided to stamp it twice and use some pop dots to accent the flowers and leaves. I stamped the based with Ranger Pigment and colored it with oil color pencils by Walnut Hollow.  Since I used a pigment ink I needed a dry color otherwise the background would bleed. I stamped the image again and embossed it with fine black powder and used the same coloring technique then cut the flowers and leaves out. This image is versatile and could be used for many occasions.

You Rock card

Here's a card I made for a guy and I didn't use the Modern Grid technique! This started a background made with alcohol inks in a Crayola Color Explosion Spinner. After that it sat...for years until I decided to use it on this card. I thought I had a stamp of a guitar but I didn't so I used this g cleff stamp. I then added this glitter border and a coordinating border color. I think the sort of grunge look would appeal to a guy and hope he likes it.

Take Flight card

Here's a card I made using materials from SEI. It was part of a card kit and I'm going to send it as a birthday card. I'll have to use extra postage as it is too thick for a regular stamp. I made my own envelope from extra scrapbook paper that has a dragonfly theme as well. I made the envelope with the WeR Memory Keepers envelope maker.

A mans home...card

Here's yet another card I made using the Modern Grid Technique. For this card I used stamps by Crafty Secrets and an embellishment from some unknown company. This is a birthday card for a guy, hope he likes it.

Let not thy hair card

Here's another card I made using the Faux Embroidered Quilt technique. I used the K&Co papers but this time I used a stamp from Artistic Outpost as the focal point.

Queen for a day card

By now you know this is the Modern Grid technique card and that I'm obsessed with it! I keep finding new stamps (well they aren't "new" really) to use with this card for various occasions. This is for a birthday gal. I used Lost Coast and Crafty Secrets stamps for this one.

Young for a lifetime card

Here's another Modern Grid technique card I made. This one uses the bicycle stamps from Hero Arts. The sentiment and greeting are from Studio G.
