Peaches Summer Birthday Card

Peaches and rainbows!

What a wonderful combination for a summer birthday card.

This card measures 5" by 6.5".

I chose the digital stamp "Peaches" from Mo's Digital Pencil. I printed the image on white cardstock and colored it with Copic Sketch markers and Promarkers.

I used a circle die to cut out the image and made a frame out of turquoise cardstock. I embellished the image with die-cut flowers using the "Funky Foliage" dies from Tim Holtz/Sizzix. I tried to match the color of the flowers to the color of the little girl's outfit.

The background patterned paper is "Rainbows" from Recollections.
I finished the card with a simple "happy birthday" sentiment.

Handmade Mermaid Meeya Birthday Card

Click on picture to enlarge

A is a summer birthday card that I made this week. 

The base is a blank kraft cardstock card (Recollections)that measures 5" by 6 1/2". I bought several packages of these blank cards at Michaels during an after-Christmas clearance sale. There is a narrow red-striped edge around the border of the card.

I chose the digital stamp/sentiment "Meeya" from Mo's Digital Pencil to feature on the card. I used Microsoft Word to resize the image and merge the sentiment with the image. I printed the image on white cardstock and colored it with Copic Sketch markers. Please see the video below to see my coloring process.

I used a Spellbinders die to cut out the colored image/sentiment and attached it to the ocean digital paper designed by Mo Manning. I used a paper punch to make the waves along the top of the ocean patterned paper. I attached this to a piece of teal cardstock and then used double-sided tape to attach the card front to the blank card.

Carry the Cake Birthday Card

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.

Handmade Dandelions Birthday Card

st

Click on image to enlarge.

I made this card featuring a sweet little girl holding a bouquet of dandelions. 

In the words of A.A. Milne..."Weeds are flowers too, once you get to know them."

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

I chose the digital stamp "Dandelions!" to feature on this card. This image was designed by Maurie Manning and was pre-released to the members of her Patreon supporters. It will soon be available in her online store - Mo's Digital Pencil.

I printed the image on white cardstock with 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 pierced circle die to cut out the image with my die cutting machine. I mounted the image on a black scalloped circle die cut. I used the die "Fence Picket & Gate by Stu Kilgour" (Thick Cuts) by Ellison Design for the fence along the bottom of the card.

The background paper is Dandelion Digital Paper by Maurie Manning. This paper was offered to her Patreon supporters.

I added a strip of scalloped cardstock along the top of the card that matches the fence. I attached the distressed sentiment "Happy Birthday" and some washi tape to the top of the card.
