Birthday Cake. Birthday Time ATC's

I created the background for these ATC's using a Tim Holtz clock stencil. I inked them with a dark purple and then went in and added the blue, yellow, and green, which are all distress inks. The cake stamp by SU was stamped in purple and I added gold Smooches ink to the flame of the candles.

The word "Birthday" is a Maya Road stamp stamped with black Hero Arts ink and the word "Time" is part of a ribbon by Queen and Co. The clock is from a piece of decorative tape that reminds me of athletic tape. I used the Ranger stapler to create the hands of the clock. The purple ribbon was white and I dyed it with either distress ink, SU ink, or Sta-On ink. I didn't have the color purple ribbon so I made my own.

Thanks for looking.

UPDATED PICS 9-2021

Orange Celebrate Card

My card today is another graduation card. I started with white and black cardstock (Recollections) and cut the black 4x5.5. I cut the white cardstock smaller then the black and another piece for the lower portion. I rubbed an orange ink pad (Staz-On) over the white cardstock and let it dry. With the same orange ink I stamped a bunch of stars (Kitchen Sink Stamps) onto the larger white cardstock. Once the orange ink was dry I stamped the word "Celebrate" (The Paper Co) with black ink (Hero Arts). 

I die cut the cap with my Cricut out of black and grey cardstock (Recollections). I adhered all of the cardstock pieces together and added some black patterned washi tape to the bottom with a button like diploma (The Paper Studio) embellishment to the center.

Thanks for looking.

Easter Cross Cards

I have a bunch of Easter cards for you today. They were so similar that it seemed silly to break them up. They all use the background paper by K and Co and purple cardstock by Sunborn. They all have a border stamps by TPC Studio, and the digital images were all colored in with powdered chalk mixed with paint by Stamp N Plus.

This first card I used the Creative Memories cutting system to create the oval and shadow on the cross. The egg shape with the sentiment is a Cricut cut from the cartridge Cricut Font and Basic Shapes under the Funky Shapes tag. The sentiment is by Stamp N Plus and it and the border stamp were stamped with Stampin Up Chocolate Chip ink. The cross digital image is by SGT Stamper but I could not find her on the web to give her credit. If you know something I don't about this company or person please let me know. 

This next card features a cross by Robyn's Fetish. I went a little different color scheme with this one and I like how it turned out. Sometimes different can be good. The peach paper was in my stash but I do know the green cardstock is by CM. The sentiment is a SRM Sticker on one of those little Spellbinders die cuts that you never know what to do with. One last thing on this one is the border is stamped with purple Staz On ink.

This card the digital image cross is not identified in my files. In fact I can't find it in my files anywhere. I have a horrible digital image system that I've been trying to clean up for years and have been unsuccessful. If you know who made this cross digital stamp please let me know so I can give credit to that person.

This semi circle was cut with CM cutting system and then stamped with the border stamp with SU Lavender Lace ink. The purple cardstock behind the image and that of the egg is by Recollections. The Easter sentiment stamp is by Imaginisce on Oriental Trading Co kraft paper.

Thank you so much for looking. and have a great rest of your day.

Celebrate Bling

I'm posting for Sassy Studio Designs Thursday challenge and the theme is bling. I'm using Ella at the Ball image for my card today. I printed her out onto Neenah solar white cardstock and colored her with Copic Markers. I wrote down her hair colors; E13, E25, E19 and a touch of YR24. I colored the dress with BV000, BV00, BV11, and V17. 

The glitter paper is by Die Cuts with a View and it has been die cut with a border die by Spellbinders.  The background patterned paper is by Studio G. I trimmed the image down and adhered it to the glitter cardstock. The line of purple rhinestones along with the pink rhinestone in the middle of the flower are by Eyelet Outlet. The flower is old and I can't recall the manufacturer. The sentiment stamp is by Fiskars and the purple ink is by Staz-On.

Thanks for looking.

To my wife

For my card I combined the words to make a card for a gentleman to give to his wife. I sell my cards at two locations, one of which has male customers. 

I cut the lacy background out with my Cricut. It is from the Mother's Day cartridge. I then sprayed it with Glimmer Mist by Tattered Angels.

The label die cut is by Studio 112. I put dimensional adhesive on it to pop it up. The cardstock is by Bazzill, the patterned paper is by My Mind's Eye, and the ink is by Staz-On.

Thanks for looking.

Digital Stamp Fairy card for Robyn's Fetish Challenge #92

This week's challenge at Robyn's Fetish challenge is MAKE IT SPARKLE. We are sponsored and given images by Gingerloft Digi Stamps. I used my powdered chalks to color in the image and then used Stickles for the sparkly part. I wish it would photograph better because the chalk and paint I used has a beautiful shimmer to it. You can find the chalks HERE.

The patterned paper is by MME and the cardstock by DCWV. The stamp is by Fiskars and the ink by Staz-on. Thanks for looking.
