Birthday Cards

Hello everyone, it's Danita from danitasdesigns.blogspot.com. I hope everyone is having a good day today.

I decided to make up a few birthday cards and have them handy since I'm always forgetting.  These are just a few of the ones I have made so far. Hopefully this year, I will be better about sending them out in a timely manner. I really despise giving store bought cards unless I don't like you....then store bought card it is!!! Hahahahaha. Thank goodness the list of people I don't really care for is non-existent at this point!

                         Thank you for looking and Enjoy!

Christmas Swap Tags 2013

Happy Thursday, everyone! Java Jen here from JAVA JEN CREATIONS to share the tags I made for our Sassy Designers tag swap this past Christmas! Thank you, Sheila, once again for the privilege! I had planned on posting this months ago but it has been a crazy couple of months, with moving into a new house and starting a new job! At any rate, here is a pic of the finished tags and then I'll share some step-by-step pics.

Cricut cartridges used:

Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 - Tag, 6.25"H

CTMH Artbooking ----> ornament overlay- 5.12"H,

 ornament medallion - 2"H,  and snowflake - 1.75"H

Here are the tag and overlay cuts before adhering them together.

I stamped my blog stamp and signed the back of each one before finishing them so I wouldn't mess anything up on the other side. :-)

Here is a trick I used to get an even coating of adhesive for the glitter to adhere to. I ran my tags through the Xyron sticker maker, making sure the side that got the "sticky" on it was the side I wanted the glitter on. 

Here is the tag before pulling it off the Xyron backing sheet.

After pulling the tag off of the backing sheet, you can see the full layer of adhesive exposed.

First I adhere the overlay......

Then I randomly sprinkle my first glitter color over the adhesive.

Then I sprinkle the other color in the bare spots to fill the tag completely in.

I had to switch shades of my glitter colors before I was completely done with all my tags so I actually got two different hues on my finished tags. I think I really like them both! :-)

Here are the ornament medallions with the snowflake. I attached them with pop dots.

I finished them off with some Liquid Pearls to accent the ornaments and some ribbon. 

There were 16 of us in this swap so I made 16 of these lovelies! :-)  I love looking at them all completed! 

Thanks for stopping by today and be sure to stop by here everyday for lots of creative inspiration! 

Baby Girl Layout

Hello my crafty friends! Leslie here from scrapnlifeaway.blogspot.com and today is my day to share here at She's a Sassy Lady!!  Today I would like to share a layout that I did when my grandaughter was born.  It's so hard for me to believe that she will be 3 years old next month!  My craft studio is currently under construction. The kids moved into their own home last weekend, and I have gained my craft studio back, but it is just not workable yet!

I really hope you enjoyed today's post!!  Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope that I have inspired you to create some beautiful pages of those special little ones in your lives!!

Birthdays Are Special At Any Age

Howdy - Adrienne from Eagle Canyon Arts here to share with you courtesy of Sheila's She's A Sassy Lady.  Thanks for inviting me to the party!

Now that we are grandparents, it is more of a challenge to come up with interesting cards for our "children" who are into their 40's (sh-h-h, don't tell them - they still think they're teenagers!) and parents themselves.  Here is a bright card I made for our daughter's birthday using papers from the Lola Workshop On The Go.  That collection isn't available per se, although Lola papers and embellishments ARE available.  Ink colors are outdoor denim and black.  I distressed the edges of the papers used on the card front and sponged the white with denim ink. These links will take you to my Close To My Heart website where all the products may be purchased. The inside of the card uses the "Birthday Cheer" stamp.  This was my first attempt at coloring with my Copic pens and I was VERY excited about using them.  I'd list the colors, except I used so MANY!  In all, the card turned out very well - and my daughter liked it!

Thanks for joining me on this project.  Blessings, Adrienne  Psalm 8

Spring Fever

Hi
This is Pam from TheBugBytes
Thanks Sheila for having me on here.

make a card and link it up there.
This time the challenge is to use pastel colors.
Here is my quick card

I have used embossing folders and some washi tape for border.

Hope you enjoyed the project.

Now if only winter stops interrupting and allows us to enjoy spring :)

March Christmas Inspiration

Hi Everyone...it's Sonya here today from Sonya's Paper Trail and I'm so excited to be sharing another Christmas card with you today.  You might recall that I'm posting a monthly holiday card, in hopes of inspiring others to get a jump start on those cards this year.  

Check out the card I made this month:

 

What I love about this card is how easy it would be to mass produce this design!  You could easily cut a ton of ovals using a die cutter and set up an assembly line to knock out a bunch of these.  

 

I added a few gemstones to Dasher's antlers for a little bit of holiday bling.  I'm really loving olive green and this lovely, deep red with grey accents.  This is quickly becoming a "go to" color combination for me!

Materials used:

Cardstock: Stampin' UP!

Patterned Paper: Tis the Season by Echo Park

Stamps: Dasher by SU and sentiment by My Craft Spot

Inks: SU

Ribbon and Gems: Misc.

I hope you have a super day...and thanks to Sheila for having me on her team!
