It sucks to get older! In my initial post I had indicated that I got this stamp set as a bonus from Scrappin'Great Deals --- well, I didn't -- I got this stamp as a bonus from the lovely Stephanie Zito from whom I purchase Ippity Stamps. The set is from High Hopes and features Mudzie and Chopper ... Hence my slightly modified posting!
This is my little Daniel's birthday card - Megan pretend you've never seen this! The stamp set it is sooo cute I thought it would be perfect for the little prince! I used one of the new Sissix impression folders as well for the card background and applied a little more pressure than necessary which actually turned out quite well. There is money under the little star in the upper left corner.
Materials: Stamp: High Hopes; Card stock: SU Glorious Green; Markers: Copic; Sentiment - Clipart and Word!

Sassy Girl
I just love these stamps! Although this card is for a December birthday, the recipient is a bit of a sassy lady so I'm thinking she'll love this card. I did find that doing her in yellow instead of the usual reds and blues I tend to do her in softened her a bit -- but there still a bit of edge!
Materials: Stamps: Kraftin' Kimmie; Sentiment: Unity; Background Paper: SU - emossed with Sissix folders. Colour - likely you can guess - COPICS rock!
Bird Fairy
I was commissioned to make a birthday card for someone who likes angels and blue. Well, I had fairies and blue so this is what I created. I think the Kraftin' Kimmie images are just beautiful and so much fun to colour. I have a feeling something is missing on the front so at least I have a week or so to rethink it before I hand it off to the owner!
Materials: Card Stock: Bazill; Background Paper: SU; CTMH; Stamp: Kraftin' Kimmie - Bird Fairy; Colours: Copics of Course! Bow made with Bow Easy

Fall(ish) Flowers
Another card for a November birthday - I though it was looking a bit too summery, hence the addition of the pumpkins in the bottom right corner. I was looking for an excuse to use my new punch to make a fence and thought a flower garden would be about right!
Materials: Stamps: Ippity (flowers) SU (background and pumpkin); Polka-dot background paper: Ippity; SU - always artichoke for fence and trim. Markers: Copic (surprised?)

Worm Birthday Wishes
Not a typo as you'll see from the image - this little Whipper Snapper image was just too cute not to use. I'm still not entering any contests recently because I can't find the ones I want - so I'll have to wait for instruction. In the meantime, I continue with my cards that have to be done anyway.

Hey Girlfriend
This card I've made for a friend of mine's birthday -- I don't think she follows my blog so I'm likely safe .... why is she not following my blog if she's a friend you may ask ---- good question! I'll explore this further .. after her birthday! This is another 6x6 card ---and I'm optimistic I'll find an envelope supplier. In the meantime, here it is. I also decordated the inside but didn't take a picture of it. Just imagine something soft and swirlly!
Materials: Background paper: K&Company; Stamp: Whipper Snappers - Madison Avenue; Markers - Need you ask - Copics of Course! Sentiment - had to make it in Microsoft Word!

Am I Blue?
I appear to be enamoured of the colour blue today. These flowers just called for blue markers. It is a birthday card for a November birthday. I like the person, hence the bling in the bottom right hand side ... why would I make cards for people I don't like you may be wondering? I'll not tell - I choose to remain a bit mysterious about some things. I might decide to add some Happy Birthday kind of messaging on the front - we'll see tomorrow what I think about the card front. Regardless, I do like the flowers!
