Wild Birthday

... Morning! While I had the jungle theme design paper on my desk, I made another birthday card for my stash:

Stamps: Happy Little Stampers - Born to be Wild; Gina K - On the Inside Birthday

Inks: Versafine - Pinecones

Dies: Lil' Inkers - Dual Dotted Circles #3

Accessories: White Card; SU Card - Crumb Cake; Copic Markers; SU DSP - Animal Expeditions

Once again, I'm submitting this card to Seize the Birthday - STB#282 where I've gone for the anything goes birthday option, and to Cardz 4 Guyz - C4G#346 where they have a jungle theme.

I cut a piece of the design paper 1¾" wide, edged it with a dark brown maker and added it to the front of an A2 note card. I used a die to cut out the cute sloth and added it to the card along with a kangeroo that I fussy cut out. I finished the front with a fun greeting.

Inside the card, I cut a mat layer of kraft card and on the white panel I stamped a birthday greeting and added a giraffe. 

I have a couple of young nephews and I think these cards will be just right for them. That's all for now. I hope you all have a good day. I plan on making more cards. See you soon!

Make A Wish

.... Hello! May the fourth be with you!!! Wow, this month is marching on. I've made another card for my birthday stash - this time it's one for a kid (might be a big kid, but a kid at heart). Here it is:

Stamps: Gina K - Birthday Sparkle, On the Inside Birthday

Inks: Versafine Clair - Nocturne, Green Oasis, Verdant

Dies: Gina K - Birthday Sparkle

Accessories: White Card; Stampin' Up! DSP - Animal Expedition; SU Card - Shaded Spruce

I'm playing along with Cardz 4 Guyz - C4G#346 where they have a jungle theme, and with Seize the Birthday - STB#282 where I've gone for the birthday anything goes option.

I've been having a bit of a tidy in my craft room and came across this old SU design paper - and it's perfect for the jungle theme. I trimmed the paper to size, layered it onto dark green card and added to the front of an A2 note card. I stamped the birthday greeting in black ink and used the matching die to cut it, and two plain white dies, layered them together and adhered to the front of the card. I finished the front by adding some stars and sparkles in green and black.

Inside the card, I cut a mat layer of dark green card. On the white panel I added a fun greeting for a kid and added more sparkles and stars. I finished by adding one of the crocodiles that I fussy cut from the design paper.

I'm very pleased how this turned out. I don't often use design paper, but I have a huge stash that needs using, so I guess I'll be using more soon. 

It's been quite grey here today - we had summer on Thursday when it got to 23°C!! Not even close to that today. Here's hoping that warmer weather will arrive soon. That's all for now.
