Baby Boy Card

 Today I have a baby card made with a Sweet'n Sassy Cocoa Mouse image that I colored with Copics. I used my Big Shot to cut the image panel with a Gina Marie Designs stitched square die along with the MFT stitched tiny tag done in 2 colors. I added a tiny punched white heart (SU! owl punch) and some twine tied into a bow. The plaid dsp has been in my stash for years and was purchased at QVC.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

Cuttlebug Mania Challenge - Hello New Baby

the Crop Stop October Link Party #44 - A/G using a manufacturer's item sold in their store (MFT) plus an option to use plaid.

Thanks for stopping by and I wish you a great Wednesday with lots of warm sunshine and lots of smiles :)

Autumn Birthday

My brother-in-law has a birthday coming up soon, so I made him an autumn-themed card in colors of espresso and pumpkin. The leaf is a die-cut from SB which I sponged with an assortment of distress inks and then let it dry. I smeared it with Versamark ink and heat-set it with clear embossing powder to give it some shine and then curled the leaves around a pencil and popped it up on foam dots. I tied a piece of brown twine around the stem in a knot, rather than a bow (which I thought would have looked a bit feminine) but now that I see the picture, it looks like a horseshoe slung around the stem LOL I may add another piece of twine before I mail this one. The embossed panel was done with a Darice ef, and the birthday sentiment was die-cut with a Lil Inker stitched banner. The dsp is from SU! and I added a few orange gemstones to finish this one.

I'm sharing this with the following challenges:

Smooth Sailing

Today I have a quick and easy masculine birthday card with a nautical theme. I started with a kraft card base, and stamped a Kaisercraft fishnet with Versamark on the side, then added a panel of Pacific Point cardstock that was embossed with a Darice nautical ef. I took a snippet of powder blue card and embossed it with a SU! seaside ef to look like water, and then die-cut the I.O. sailboat and colored it with Copics. The MFT fishtail flag banner was cut from white and chocolate cardstocks, then the SNSS sentiment was heat-embossed with white ep for the finishing touch.

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

 Cardz4Guyz #198 - Blue and Brown
