I Brake for OZ!

Hello and happy Saturday!!

Today I'm sharing the card that I made for my sister's birthday...this coming November.  Yes,  I may have planned a little bit ahead. I've been a fan of I Brake for Stamps for a VERY long time.  Some how I had never seen this set until recently.  My sister is a HUGE Wizard of Oz fan and I just couldn't wait to make her this card!!

The set is called MOVIE POSTERS SHEET and it has 8 images on it. I used 5 of them on my card.

I got on Google to see how to color this more accurately and found this Spanish poster that matched the image.

This is the inside of the card right now but they may change before I send it to my sister.  I remembered that I have a small shoe die so I might cut some ruby slippers out and add them.

To create my sparkly "ruby" border around the poster I used a FUSIBLE GLITTER SHEET.  These aren't really meant to be used like paper but I can't get enough of that glorious sparkle these sheets have!!  This one is the RED.  Check out the link to see all you can do with these sheets!  I have a bunch of colors and they're all stunning!  You can use them to iron onto clothing or other craft projects.  

Ease on Down the Road (dance teacher thank you)

  Hello and happy Friday everyone!!

Today I'm sharing another of the dance teacher thank you cards that I made for Makena's dance teachers at the end of year banquet.  This one was for Miss Jody, her acro teacher.  They did Ease on Down the Road and it was just adorable!

I used a Sizzix brick embossing folder to make the Yellow Brick Road.  The magic wand was made with a Quickutz die.  The image was colored with Copic markers.

 

 I carried the YBR onto the inside and used two more Quickutz dies to make the Wicked Witches hat and shoes.  The verse is from an old, retired Cornish Heritage Farms text set.

 I apologize for the poor quality photo.  This was snapped quick during a dress rehearsal.

Makena is front and center.  She was the Scarecrow.

Follow the yellow brick road birthday wishes

My niece will be turning 4 in a little over a week and I've made her a Wizard of Oz themed card because their family loves the movie.  My sister even met a couple lollipop kids several years back when they made a mall appearance.  This completely adorable image was a FREEBIE from Create with TLC.  The pretty sentiment is from Sentiments 4 You.  It comes as a B&W image but I changed it to pink to match my card. 

Here are some close ups of the yellow brick road which was made using a Tim Holtz embossing folder.  Also, a close up of the stamp which I colored with Copic markers.

 

                                                                             

On the inside I've used a Martha Stewart birthday punch and Spellbinders Cloud dies.  The rainbow was some clip art that I enlarged, printed off the Internet and cut out.  I printed the sentiment myself from my computer.
