Bright Pink Birthday - PPA215

Today's card combines two challenges, the sketch challenge at Try Stampin' on Tuesday, and the color challenge at Pals Paper Arts. I'm not sure I like the green in there, although I do like that combination in general. I sold a lot of cards this past weekend at a show, and I'm running out of birthday cards, so you'll likely be seeing lots of birthday cards on here for the next while!

Washi Christmas Card

I made this super easy Christmas card, and I just love it. It's so bright and fun, but easy peasy to make, since it's mainly just washi tape and punched pieces. I love the mix of blue, green and gold here.

Minecraft Creeper Punch Art Birthday Card

It's my stepson's birthday soon, and he's into everything Minecraft, so I made this super easy Z-fold Creeper card for him.

I scored the green pieces at 3/16" intervals to make the squares, and cut the eyes at 3/4" x 3/4". The mouth I cut at 1.5" x 1.5" and then used my banner punch to cut the corners and bottom since it was about the right size.


Recipe (all Stampin' Up!)

Stamps: Boys Will Be Boys

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Paper: Old Olive, Basic Black, Crumb Cake

Misc: Simply Scored Scoring Tool, Banner Punch

I Like You Just Because - NAC102

This week's color challenge at Nacho Average Challenge wasn't my usual color scheme. I'm not a fan of orange. But by making the background with the stamp from the I Like You set, the sentiment can pop off this card in Tangerine Tango. I love these flower outline stamps, and how they make fabulous backgrounds. Some little pearls finish them off perfectly.
 



Recipe (all Stampin' Up!)
 
Stamps: A Dozen Thoughts, I Like You

Ink: Night of Navy, Tangerine Tango

Paper: Night of Navy, Pool Party, Whisper White card stock

Misc: pearls
