Happy Birthday Uncle Bruce

Today is my uncles 69th birthday. Yesterday my two aunts and I went to the Home that he is in for a visit. We took him out to Tim Horton's to get him a birthday treat. Just like a kid, he was told not to drink his ice cap fast. Did he listen, no ended up with a brain freeze. He's such a flirt, waving at all the ladies.

Here is the card I made for him.

I had alot of fun making this card. I started with cutting masking paper to cover the front panel. I used square dies (that I had forgotten I had), to cut a window in the mask. I also used them to make a frame to go around it. The front panel was cut with a new die from MFT. I used distress inks to color the sky, and the clouds. The grass was cut with another new die from MFT. My Viking is also a stamp  from MFT. I colored him with prisma pencils and gamsol.

Hoping you Perk up Soon

Evening blogland.  I have managed to finish three cards. I've been playing with my new stamp from My Favorite Things. The Pure Innocence Steeped in Love stamp was so much fun to color. I used my prisma pencils and blended with gamsol.

Card #1

I matched her dress to the card base.  Blew the dust off a border punch, and used it on a piece of patterned paper.  Added a few sequins.

Card #2

This one I used the matching die to cut the image in the front of the card.  Placing the card in my Misti I placed the stamp into the cutout area and stamped with black ink, so that the image is stamped on the inside of the card.  The sentiment was stamped directly onto the card front.

 Card #3

The purple pattern paper was embossed with Spellbinders Die D-Lites Create a Flower (which you can't see in the picture).  I added sparkly ribbon that I found at the dollar store, and some dots of liquid pearls.  The card front was added to a white card base.

Next cards in progress are Easter.  Shopping at the Dollar Tree the other day I found some Easter stickers, glitter paper, and glitter ribbon.  These will be used to make cards for our family since I didn't send off the Christmas cards.  I still have the kids school pictures that have to be delivered before they are a year old.

Gotta Love the Courier Guy

Evening everyone. I have managed to spend more time crafting lately. A couple of hours in the evenings.  And it's always inspirational to get new supplies.

When I saw the Norce Man from My Favorite Things Stamps I knew I had to have him, and the matching die. And you just can't order one. You have to make the shipment worthwhile. Here is my little package that was delivered by courier today.

Maybe I will get a chance to color this big guy tomorrow.
