Birthday Balloons

 Hello lovely followers and visitors. I just want to say thanks to my followers for not leaving me over this last year. I have lost about 25 followers which makes me incredibly said. I worked so hard to build up my crafty following and love all your comments and visits but with a new baby I have been slow with the posts and not crafting much. I am hoping I feel the inspiration to craft over summer break.

 Any who here is a cute birthday I whipped up. I embossed the white paper and then added some cute DP. The balloons are an embellishment I have had for a long time that way a sticker on the back to attach them. The sentiment is a Stampin Up stamp.

I hope you enjoy my post and I hope to have more soon.

Orange B day card

Here is a Springy birthday card I want to share with you all! I embossed the background then used some ornage ink and lightly went over it. It looks good except in the bottom corner :(  Oh well over all I like the idea and how it came out.

I like to add an inside message to my cards.

Hope you are all having a wonderful day!

Pink Birthdays

I haven't had a lot of time to craft in the last few months. Growing a baby is hard work. However I have several projects that I have not had time to post that I am working on. Here are two simple birthday cards I made.

 I used a Stampin up candles image. I added some color with Copics and added Stickles to the flame.

I embossed the background on the pink. I used my Spellbinders to cut out the stamp image.

Orange Flower Birthday

Here is a simple birthday card I made. I used DCWV paper. I used a Stampin Up birthday sentiment and my Irock metal embellishments.

I cut out a white lacy circle and embossed it to put behind the flower.

Bell Birthday Card

 I made another princess birthday card.

 This sentiment is Pink by Design cut out with my Spellbinders. The paper is shiny and DCWV.

 This Bell is a Miss Kate Cuttables file. I added Stickles to the head band and pink chalk to the cheeks.

The inside has a mix of stamps. The happy birthday is stampin up . The wishing you... is Pink by Design.

Mothers Day Tag Card

I am always trying to use up my scraps so I cut these tags out of some pieces. I cut the tags with my Silhouette and distressed the edges with some Tim Holtz ink. I also used the ink in the white flowers then sprayed them with some glitter spray. The sentiment is a Stampin Up stamp.

The inside stamps are from a Sweet N Sassy set. I used a scrap piece I had left for the inside.

I used Fiskar flowers in the background. I used my Spellbinders to cut out the lacy circle/ I added some black gems and pretty paper flowers.

The inside of the card has a Birthday Innies stamp from Sweet N Sassy.

I decided to add the happy birthday in a different place on this card.

SSS234 Fisherman Birthday

I am sad to say this is the last The Sweet Stop sketch, boo. I have loved these sketches for so long and was so excited when I got to be part of the DT. I will greatly miss these sketches.

So for my last sketch card I made another male birthday card. I have never torn my paper before and I kinda dig it. I added some brown staples to add to the torn up feel. I used Stampin Up stamps on this card. I added a little color with my Copics and inked the edges of the image.

I like how my last DT card for The Sweet Stop now go enjoy your last chance to play with these wonderful sketches!
