Made for each other

This is for Pixie Dust Studio's food and Mojo Monday #256 challenges.

The base is kraft with layers of cocoa and baking print from Paper Studio.  The flags are cut from scraps of bubblegum pink, robin egg blue, and cracked green.  The pink is embossed with the Cuttlebug jumbo embossing folder polka dots.  The image is PDS Sweet Love, colored in copics with touches of Saukura Stardust gel pen, and mounted on the open book nestabilities on dimensionals.  I added a little punched heart and the printed sentiment.  Thanks for looking!  April

Right Now

This is for TGF's Farm Fresh Friday Paper Piecing and Anyone for Anya's Time challenges. 

The base is kraft with layers of cocoa, Very Vanilla, and Bo Bunny's Timepiece papers.  The kraft base is inked with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo distress ink and the Vanilla layer is distressed with the Tonic paper distresser.  I used the Tim Holtz weathered clock die in kraft, then lightly inked the edges, as well as the red designer paper and the tag.  The tag is from 7 Gypsies and the stub has been perferated and removed before being attached to the card with a Tim Holtz memo pin.  The image is TGF's Oliver & Amelia Journey, stamped on kraft with Versamark and heat embossed with metallic gold, then colored with copic markers.  I used a piece of extra Bo Bunny Timepiece paper to paper piece his hat, then mounted Oliver on dimensionals.  The ribbon is Early Espresso from SU.  Once everything was in place, I spritzed the whole thing with Gold Glow smooch before mounting it on the kraft base.  Thanks for looking!  April

Birthday Blessings

This is for TGF's Farm Fresh Fridays Birthday and Mojo Monday #255 challenges. 

The base is a white 5x6.5" premade notecard with layers of kraft and SU's retired Pawsitively Prints papers.  The image is TGF's Anya Celebrates colored in copic and paper piecing, then mounted on dimensionals.  The paper backing Anya is from a Build-A-Bear Workshop gift with purchase mini notecard set.  The sentiment is stamped on kraft in Jet Black Staz-On, punched with the SU decorative label punch, then mounted with dimensionals.  The orange polka dot grosgrain is from Michaels and the knot is placed with glue dots. 
Inside is the coordinating sentiment and the Happy Birthday is an acrylic from JoAnn Fabrics.  Thanks for looking!  April

Pretty in Pink challenge

closed card

This is for Pixie Dust Studios Pixie Flix "Pretty in Pink" challenge.  Who doesn't love a John Hughs movie?  While "Pretty in Pink" is not my favorite (Sixteen Candles!), it still a good movie.  Any seriously, who doesn't love Ducky? 
The base is winter white from DCWV with layers of Recollections Bubblegum Pink and heat embossed with a lips stamp I found in the dollar bin at Michaels.  The cut outs on the card are from nestabilities.  The heart border is from Martha Stewart.  The image is PDS Brittney Loves and is colored with copic markers.  I picked her because she is quirky like Ducky and wouldn't she make a cute Duckette?  I had to pay homage to Molly Ringwald, so her hair is red.  The letters are done in pink glitter.  She is cut with nestabilities deckled rectangle and mounted on dimensionals over a doily and lacy scalloped circle.  I also stamped and embossed a couple of lips on scrap white paper for the inside and outside.  I used a felt heart from Jenni Bowlin Studio and the punched heart from SU.  I did a cute little writing like you would find carved in a tree for their names, but inside I added "Say YES to Ducky!"  I added a little bling to the lips on the cover of the card and a pair of lips on the blank inside.  Thanks for looking!  April

Don't be angry...

Here is the other angry birds card I made for one of my bff's sweet boys.  The directions and inspiration for this came from Niki and you can find it here.  I didn't have all the punches, so I used my Cricut's George and Basic Shapes and some other punches to complete the cards. 
The card base is Whisper White with layers of Recollections blue argyle and Scrap Around the Blocks sea shells.  The sentiment is from SU's retired Grunge Rock.  Be sure to visit Niki's blog for the directions and list of supplies. 
Inside reads "Don't be angry, it's your birthday!"  I put the yellow one inside near the sentiment but cropped it to give you a close up.  Thanks for looking!  April
