I
am taking
on this
week's challenge
from Cuttin'and Stampin'
and the challenge
is to use
Christmas Paper
in a non
traditional, non Christmas
way. I am
currently working
on building
my card
stash so I
decided to make
a birthday
card. It just
worked out that
the paper
I wanted
to use would
go super
cute with
the image
I wanted
to use as
well (love
it when
things come
together!).
The
paper that
I used
for the background
is from
the Holly
Jolly {with
glitter} paper
back from
the Paper
Studio which
I purchased
from Hobby
Lobby a couple
of years
ago.
The
image that
I colored
is Sugar
n' Spice
Marci from
La la land
Crafts, if you
are not familiar
with them
they offer
digi stamps
and rubber
stamps, I have
a mix of
both it just
depends on how
impatient I am!
;) I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored it in with Letraset Promarkers.
I
used pink
paper from
my stash
I think
it came
from a huge
pack of Costco
that I bought
about seven
to eight
years ago and
I am still
trying to go
through it. I
used a Martha
Stewart border
punch to punch
out the little
flower borders
and then
I inked
them up with
Chestnut Roan
cats eye.
I
punched out the
little design
for the sentiment
with an EK
Success punch.
The stamp
set I used
for the sentiments
on the front
and on the
inside of the
card come
from Amy R
Stamps Sweet
Sentiments.
I
used Stickles
on her bow,
her apron
and the little
heart on the
cupcake. I also
use my white
Jelly Roll
pen from
Sekura to lighten
up the whites
of her eyes.
I then
use Glossy
Accents by Inkssentials
to place
on her eyes
and her lips
to make
them glossy.
I'm sure
I saw it
in a video
and I really
liked the effect
it created.
Does
this happen
to any of
y'all? This
card was supposed
to go toward
building my stash
of cards
to be able
to pull
from later,
but as soon
as I was
finished with
it I thought
of a friend
to give
it to and
her birthday
is like
next week.
I am so
glad that
I thought
of her but
I never
seem to be
able to get
ahead, that
is a goal
for me this
year. I need
a stash
of cards
to be able
to pull
from!
Keep on crafting,
Kimmy
