A rafter of turkeys!

Welcome to todays blog post!

I'm getting started on some Fall cards because I feel it sneaking up & it will be here before I'm ready for it.

I colored up both the Sm. Turkey P101 & the Lg. Turkey S211 from High Hopes.  I decided to color a few of each because I wanted some for my scrapbook pages as well as some Fall cards.  Then I got to thinking of the design for this card and I thought how about a small rafter of turkeys.  Originally I was going to use 5 but my card would have been huge so I paired that down to just 3.  I think it worked out quite well with just the 3.  I used the Happy Thanksgiving F203 sentiment, some ribbon & a few self adhesive enamel dots to finish it off.

 

Lg. Turkey - S211

Browns - E29, E27, E25, E23, E21, E31, E30

Red - R59, R29, R27

Grey - W6, W4, W2

Sm. Turkey - P101

Grey - W9, W7, W5, W3, W2, W1

Beige - E43, E42, E41

Red - R59, R29, R27

Cheeks - R01

I hope todays card inspires you to get crafty!

Have a wonderful day!!

Hugs,

Birthday Bob

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

Today I'm popping in to share a card I made for our friends 70th birthday this past weekend.  This handsome dude is Birthday Bob with the Caution sentiment from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.  Our friend thought this guy was pretty handsome too.

It's always a challenge to make a manly looking card, well it is for me lol.  I have a paper crimper from Marvy which was one of my very first tools purchases when I began scrapbooking.  It was such a good addition to my stash.  I'm not sure if they still make it.  If you don't have one take a look inside your cookie packages etc.  A lot of companies use crimped paper in their packaging & it's a great way to re-purpose things.  I added some burlap for a little extra texture & some self adhesive gumdrops for a pop of colour.

Birthday Bob - T080

Hair - E37, E35, E34

Skin - E11, E00, E01, E000 & R20

Shirt - E87, E84, E81

Orange - YR07, YR04, YR02

Blue - B39, B37, B34, B32

'Twas the Night Before Christmas!

Welcome OCS Fans;

As we are halfway through the year, now is the time to get a start on Christmas cards.  The Design Teams Divas on the High Hopes and One Crazy Stamper Blogs will be sharing "Christmas in July" inspiration to you all month!

For my first Christmas card, I used this cute stamp called Here Comes Santa from High Hopes Stamps.  It is a CAS card as the design paper was a perfect match for it.  The paper is from  Echo Park's 'Twas the Night Before Christmas which was released last year, which I thought matched perfectly.  It is also my favourite Christmas poem.

I coloured the image with  copic markers and used some Prismacolor pencils to add some shading.
The image was fuzzy cut and three light bulbs were added as embellishments.  Nuvo's Snow Glow Sparkle Dust was used to add some glitter to Santa.  The Sparkle & Cheer sentiment was added to the inside of the card.

 

Inside of Card

Supplies used:

• Stamp:  Here Comes Santa, Sparke & Cheer (High Hopes Stamps)

Arts and Crafts was my favorite subject in school.  I loved working with paper, glue, and scissors right from the get-go and always looked forward to what I would create.  Eventually I got into card making and enjoy using my free time to carefully and thoughtfully craft cards for my friends and family.  It brings me such joy to see their faces when they open the envelope and pull out the card made just for them. I am always involved in blog hops and have been on several Design Teams over the years.  I’m a very creative person and card making is just one way I fulfill the passion to create.
