Birthday Balloons

I am enjoying an afternoon in my craft room, while my youngest is in here "borrowing" my TV. His brother is playing a video game with friends on the other. Which is fine by me it's forcing my to focus on the craft table and not the screen with YouTube videos. ;-) I was catching up with reading some blogs when I got inspired to make my card.

I started by stamping the balloons, then added some color for the clouds in sky to following along with a sketch. I added the sentiment, hand drew the strings and trimmed down the panel. Before popping the panel on the base with foam tape, I added a little bit of black and white washi to one side. 

I will be linking the card up to the following blogs:

Dad's day cards...

Today will be a quick post to share the cards I made for my dad and father-in-law. I used Lawn Fawn because I love them so! They have some awesome images to color ( I love to color) and I love the puns.

 Card number one...

I stamped and color the grill with copics on a scrap panel. Took the utensils from the same set to add a border to peek out from under the panel. Die cut the word dad and adhered it to the panel before popping the panel on the card using foam tabs.

Card number two...

inside number two...

I stamped and colored the condiment bottles with copics then stamped the letters D and A. Used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Stamped the sentiment and adhered the die cuts above it. For the inside I stamped the sentiment and image then colored in the image.

Fall Birthday

I made a card today using  mostly Lawn Fawn items for a fall birthday card. I will add this to the Lawnscaping challenge. 

I will also add this to the color challenge at My Favorite Things.

My friends birthday is Friday so I thought a fall theme would be perfect although I was very tempted to do a Halloween theme. :-)  I pulled out some Lawn Fawn papers from last years release, I love the patterns and colors in the pack!

In addition to the Lawn Fawn papers I also used some of their twine, stamps, dies and a sequin from the fall themed package. I love those leaves with the stitching! The brads are from American Crafts and the inks I used were Memento Luxe.

Thanks for stopping by!

Big thanks!

 Just a quick little post this morning. Today is world card making day and also my sons birthday party, so I won't get much time to participate today. First I just wanted to share the card I made for my sons birthday (which was actually yesterday). 

I love the Lawn fawn critters they are so stinkin' cute! 

I've also made another card with a couple of challenges in mind. One challenge is the color combo from My Favorite Things. Love the fall colors! I don't have the exact colors but I went as close as I could.

The other challenge I had in mind was CASe this Sketch

All stamps and inks used are from Close to my Heart, and yes this is the same stamp set form the kit that I used here and here. I'm loving this set! I also have another ides for the sketch planned out, so I'm hoping that I can get it done and posted... maybe today... ? Only time will tell. 

 As for time I need to go add some chocolate icing to the cupcakes. Not many kids like the cupcake with out it. ;-) 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a wonderful and crafty day!
