Grunge birthday

This was for my daughter's 14th birthday.  I used a kraft base with layers of Tempting Turquoise and Whisper White.  The images are from Grunge Rock and Extreme Elements.  Inks are Crumb Cake, Tempting Turquoise, Lucky Limeade, Purely Pomegrante, and Basic Gray.  The guitar is mounted on dimensionals.  The number 14 is Tim Holtz grungeboard, inked in Tempting Turquoise and spritzed with Heidi Swapp Teal Color Shine.  Thanks for looking!  April

Cat in the Hat card

This is for my daughter's birthday.  It's hard to believe she is 14.  (My oldest boy just turned 11 this month as well.)  The base is Whisper White with layers of Basic Black and blue SN@P paper.  TIP:  Did you know the blue SN@P paper is equal to Baja Breeze from SU?  The ink matches perfectly!  I used the wide oval punch and the 1 1/2" circle punch to make the hat in Real Red and Whisper White.  The sentiment is from the retired SU set Smarty Pants and is inked in Baja Breeze and Red Riding Hood, then punched out with the decorative label punch and matted on Basic Black.  I added a little touch of white gel pen detailing on the hat and a black baker's twine bow on the sentiment.  Thanks for looking!  April

I {heart} U card

This is for my stamp club monthly swap.  I got the idea from Pinterest.  Colors are Whisper White, Basic Black and Real Red.  I used a bit of black baker's twine to hide the seam in the embossing folder.  The letters are cut from Cricut's Base Camp cartridge.  The heart is from SU's triple heart punch.  I left the inside blank so it could be used for Valentine's, Anniversary, or Love card.  Super easy and four cards took less than 30 minutes.  Thanks for looking!  April

Steampunk SMASH

This is a SMASH page I made using some of the parts from the October My Paper Pumpkin.  I mentioned in another post that I ran the chipboard through a Tim Holtz die.  Here is the dressmaker dummy decorated with paper from DCWV.  I made a corset and added crochet lace trim and an embroidery floss bow.  The background papers are also DCWV from the Timless and Performance mat stacks.  I used a doily and kraft tag along with Tim Holtz stickers for the title.  I also used some Tim Holtz gears, tickets, word stick, and keyhole.  Thanks for looking!  April

Oreo birthday card

 

This is for a friend's birthday.  I found the idea on pinterest and tweaked it a bit.  I used scalloped circle and classic circle nestabilities with SU Whisper White cardstock and dark brown from Bazzill.  I also used the third classic oval nestabilities for the title and stamped that with versamark and heat embossed in white.  Inside, I used a retired SU congratulations set stamped in Early Espresso.  I used a small black brad for the hinge to twist the cookie and mounted it on a base of Pumpkin Pie with layer of retired SU designer paper from Eat Cake.  Thanks for looking!  April
