Birthday cupcakes

This card is for a friend of mine that has a birthday this week.  I looked at the Mojo Monday sketch earlier in the week but didn't have time to start anything at that time.  Pile it on challenge was bling, which is not a problem to add to any feminine card.  And lastly when 365 cards had a "finish in 15" I had been thinking about it enough (with no time to actually do it) that all my ideas were all worked out, so 15 minutes was easy. I used the designer cupcake paper.  I also used some shimmer pink and shimmer vanilla paper.  Some plain brown paper was added in there for good measure.  I used an embossing folder for the cupcakes on the pink shimmer.  I used a total of 3 stamps on the vanilla shimmer paper, the darling cupcake, the sentiment, and then the border (stamped 4 times around the edges).  I added a burlap flower with a gemstone.  Done! Challenges... Pile it on challenge 365 cards Mojo monday

Fathers Day- #1 Dad

This is the card I made this morning for my father-in-Iaw.  Nothing like doing everything last minute!

Challenges included in this card are...
Pile it on challenge
Amusing Challenge
613 Avenue Create
Catered Crop
Challenges 4 Everybody
I'm sure if I took the time to look, I could enter it in more.  But I'm tired and this will do for me. 

I found the wood grain designer paper in my stash, I used off white solid paper, a brownish tan solid paper, and a hunter green solid paper (also in my stash).  On a wood veneer tag I stamped #1 Dad in brown ink.  I also stamped the "Father" stamp in brown ink.  I then added the wooden button, twine, ribbon, and washi tape to hold the twine in place.

Enjoy your week ahead.

HB2U

My twins have a birthday party to attend tomorrow.  Needless to say, a card was needed.  I took a look at 3 different challenge blogs... 365 cards, Pile it on challenge, and Mojo monday.  At 365 cards I chose micro-managed - Add three teeny tiny elements to your card. Rhinestones, pearls, or brads can only count as one of your items. I added the 3 stars. Pile it on challenge - Put a bird on it. Of course, my owl is a bird.  Mojo monday - sketch.

Thanks for looking.

 

 

Mother

This is for my Mother-in-law, obviously for Mother's Day considering the date.  I am submitting this for 3 challenges -- 365 cards, mojo monday, and pile it on challenge. 

The background of the top portion of the card, I used a script stamp (inked in Adirondack Lights Sandal) and then misted (Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Snow Angel) over the script.  All paper is My Mind's Eye  Lost and Found Two Blush 6x6 paper pad (besides the white card base).  Used my dies for the center part along with the frame that I stamped Mother on in same ink.  Also grabbed another stamp and added the underneath portion of the Mother.  Grabbed a glitter pen and added the faux stitching along all four sides and the center. 

On the inside, I wrote...

God in His wisdom made Mothers

and gave them love to share.

He showed them how to comfort 

and told them how to care.

He taught them to wipe a tear

and how to smile just right.

Then He gave them to us

to love with all our might.

Thanks for looking.

Celebrate

Summer Break has began!  Hopefully, I'll find some time to do some of the things that I love once again.  I can't wait until my life doesn't revolve around books, papers, tests, clinicals and finals.  I want to start work already!  I can put my time in 3 days a week and have time left over, not studying all day every day. 

Anyways, here is a card I put together today.  It will be going to my sister-in-law for her birthday coming up.  One the inside it says, "Hope your birthday is berry special."  I am submitting this card at 365 cards, for the Sunday sketch.  I did shake up the sketch just a little.
