All Hail the Birthday Girl Card

 

All hail the birthday girl! 

This handmade card features the pre-colored digital stamp/sentiment "Hail Birthday Girl" designed by Maurie J. Manning of Mo's Digital Pencil. This image was a pre-release given to Ms. Manning's supporters on Patreon.

I usually color my digital stamps with markers, but this pre-colored image is so pretty that I had to use it. The background paper is from the "Que Sera Sera" paper pad by K and Company. The banners and confetti die cuts were made with the "Celebration Borders #664516" dies by Sizzix. The card measures 5" by 7".

I will enter this card in the following challenge;

Mo's Digital Challenge #306

Carry the Cake Birthday Card

Click on the image to enlarge.

September is a great time for birthdays. I just completed this birthday card that I will be sending out in the mail soon.

I used a simple design and an aqua/lavender color combination to make this card.

I started with a blank aqua Recollections card (Michaels) that measures 5" by 6.5".

I chose the digital stamp "Carry the Cake" from Mo's Digital Pencil. I used Microsoft Word to merge the image and sentiment. I then printed it on white cardstock with my HP Photo Printer and Instant Ink.

I colored the image with Copic Sketch markers and Winsor and Newton Promarkers/Brush markers.

I die-cut some lavender grass using a Fiskars punch. I die-cut the butterflies using the Sizzix Floral Banner #662679 set.

I made this card with a "cake-day" cutie from Mo's Digital Pencil. 

The base of the card is a Strathmore card that measures 5" by 7".

The embossed background cardstock is "Daiquiri Ice" from Bazzil Basics.

The flowered and dotted papers came from the "On Trend 2" paper pad from My Mind's Eye (Hobby Lobby).

I featured the digital stamp/sentiment "Happy Cake Day" from Mo's Digital Pencil. I hand-colored the image with Copic Sketch markers and Winsor and Newton Promarkers/Brush markers.

I embellished the card by tying a piece of multi-colored yarn around it.

Handmade Birthday Girl Card

Click on image to enlarge.

July is a wonderful time to celebrate a birthday! I made this card and it has already been delivered to a special birthday girl.

I chose the digital stamp/sentiment "Birthday Girl" from Mo's Digital Pencil to feature on this card.

I printed the image and sentiment on white cardstock using my HP Photo Printer and Instant Ink.

I hand-colored the image with Copic Sketch markers and Winsor & Newton Promarkers/Brush markers. I love to mix and match my alcohol markers. I used a gold gel pen to color the crown and fill in the center of the flowers.

I cut out the image using a rectangular die with my die cutting machine. I framed the image with a piece of black cardstock. I used a die-cut corner embellishment in the lower right corner of the image.

I chose Glam Glitter Polka (The Paper Studio) for the background paper. I was very happy to find a pack of this paper on clearance at Hobby Lobby. The paper is very glittery but has a smooth surface, so it is easy to glue other paper to it.

I made a strip of scalloped white cardstock and put a strip of black cardstock down the center. I attached this to the center of the card. I finished the card with a colorful stitched banner from my stash.

Handmade Birthday Card With Lots of Layers

January was a big month for birthdays. This is my last card for the month. I recently found a Fiskar's Paper Crimper at a thrift shop and was anxious to try it out.

What is a paper crimper? It is a gadget that makes any kind of paper that you run through it look "crimped" or corrugated.

I will be entering this card in Mo's Challenge #218 - "Lots of Layers". I used several different layers of paper and the cake in the image also has LOTS of layers.

I started with a blank kraft greeting card that measure 5" by 7".

I printed out the digital stamp "Tall Cake" on Strathmore Toned Tan sketch paper. I colored the image with Copic Sketch Markers.

I used a Fiskar's Corner Rounder on the image and stitched it to a piece of collage patterned paper (Collage Art Stack from DCWV). I chose the blue background paper from the same paper pack and ran it through the paper crimper. I then tore around the edges so the white core would show.

I embellished the card with the "LOVE" stickers and a mesh ribbon.

Thank you for taking a look at my card.

Celebrate Card Challenge

This week Mo's Design Team is celebrating Mo's 100th challenge. The theme of the challenge is "Celebrate" and three lucky winners will be chosen at random tonight.

I made this birthday card using the digital image  "Bella Carrying The Cake" from Mo's Digital Pencil Store. I colored the image using Copics Sketch markers.
I distressed the edges of the image with Tim Holtz Distress Ink and stamped the word "Celebrate" at the bottom of the card.
I embellished the card with some flower stickers and a vinage pink ribbon.
