Happy Birthday card

Here's a card I made using papers and embellishments from Cosmo Cricket. The stamp is from Hero Arts. I just bought the Tim Holtz stamping platform and tried to use it on this card. Unfortunately since I already had the double stack embellishment on the card it didn't stamp well. I took the stamp off that tool and then used an acrylic block but I didn't match it up well enough so that's why I added the yellow paper underneath. Note to self -- stamp then embellish.

Three butterflies

Here's a card I made using my Spellbinders and some ordinary embellishments. My inspiration was this post by Jennifer McGuire. Instead of a diecut I used a Spellbinders Impressabilities design. I added three ordinary butterfly embellishments that had adhesive on the back. I aligned them on one side of the card and then put some baby powder on the half that I didn't want to stick. I heard of this trick a long time ago but never needed to use it.

Living forever card

This card uses the same background paper as last weeks card. For this one I used some old Marvy Metallic markers that I thinned out with water and applied with a brush. I then added a stamped image from Inky Antics that I colored with pencils and the sentiment.

Memories card

Here's a card I made using a simple sentiment stamp and papers and embellishments from American Traditional Designs. I inked the edges of the papers but otherwise easy peasy.

They say it's your birthday...card

 

Here's a card I made using my Silhouette. I downloaded a .jpg and then transformed it to a cutting file. I got this file for free from Vector Open Stock and is a Creative Commons file. I used a background stamp of some sheet music (not the Beatles) and then added the cutting file and the musical embellishment.
