Connor '11



This was Connor's birthday card. Connor is my middle nephew. He calls Tony 'Uncle Hillbilly.' He's not on Facebook and I really need help to get on Twitter. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I am very frustrated. Anyway, Angry Birds can be habit forming and these cards were so much fun to make. I don't know if these guys have names, but I thing hey are cute.

Ronald's Birthday

I know I haven't been posting lately, but I'll try to catch up in the next few days. This is the card I made for my oldest nephew to celebrate his birthday. The day I made this, I was blessed to have Hailey for the afternoon. We enjoyed the time together, but her little hands weren't strong enough to punch all the shapes. By the time we were finished, my hands were so sore! Now if I could just have someone show me how to PLAY Angry Birds, I may get somewhere with the game!

tumbler

I have a friend that loves this card. Naturally, I tucked one away for her to give to her on her birthday. We took a road trip and I noticed that she always brings a cup of coffee with her. I mean a real cup, not a cup with a lid. Without a lid, coffee ends up everywhere. So I made this tumbler with LID using the same folder! How do you like it? Haven't even made one for me yet!

Deets:

Tumbler, Pink Metal Sheet, Manhattan Flower Impressions Folder, Paper Stumps, and a Sanding Block

Father's Day '11

I don't get to see my Father-in-Law as often as I would like, but my husband was able to deliver this Father's Day card in person. I inked the Pheasant stamp with 3 different colors, then huffed (and puffed, just kidding!) and stamped on the paper. You have to clean the stamp every time you do this so the colors won't bleed into the ink pads. also, start with the lightest color and move toward the darker. The splatter is from the spritzer tool. It shoots a stream of air to the tip of a marker and blows ink drops all over the place. The markers don't seem wet enought to have ink just spraying out of them, but it really works!

Deets:

Stamps: Pheasant Thoughts

Paper: Night of Navy, More Mustard, Old Olive, Naturals Ivory

Inks: Night of Navy, More Mustard, Old Olive

Accessories: Spritzer, Dimensionals
