Anutter Birthday

Lot more male birthdays ahead and I want to be ready.

I used a pre-colored image from the set Winter Birthday and Nut Costume Ants from Doodle Pantry and a party hat from the Silhouette Store that I tweaked.

I also used the stamp and die set A Birdie Told Me and woodgrain stamp from Lawn Fawn, Lil Inker Stitched Diagonal and rectangle dies with some ice sickles for hat.

A2, pop-ups for dimension under hat and ball of hat, copics for flooring and shadowing

Master Golfer

Rushing to finish this card for a friend AND the QKR Stampede Challenge # 138 ...Guy Cards.  I used #15314, Golfing Turtle.  Our friend has been wanting to go to the Masters in Augusta, Georgia.  For his birthday, we are taking him to the tournament on the "day of his choice".  I made a fake ticket for the inside of the card.

I made the "A Master" svg putting green.  I  print and cut in my design studio, then colored and attached the golfer with pop-ups  for dimension.  I cased Brenda, even her sentiment, since hers was so adorable.

A2 size, stitching, Wink Of Stella on parts of wood club, Lawn Fawn hillside dies, handmade the golf ball, pole and flag.  Forgot to add #18 on the flag for picture.

Inside, made fake badge

Don't sweat it!

Inside:  Age is important only is you're cheese or wine.   Happy Birthday!

I may take off for a few days and head to the beach, but DH and the puppies will hold down the fort!  Weather is awesome here and at beach so why not take advantage.  I have a sore throat with the pollen alert being high here so I hope it won't put a damper on my trip....we'll see tonight!

Birthday Candle Birdbrain from From the Heart Stamps is what I'm using for their Challenge #101 with a twist.  I chose the sketch. It's pretty CAS.  I went back and aded blue and more Wink of Stella on the "sweat"..haha

A2, copics, stitching, Lil Inker Stitched Banner die, wink of stella...oops...forgot to had the shadow before taking the pics

Chocolate. Coffee. Men.

Well, I did it again...left some things off and 3 people proofed it and didn't catch.  Can you find them?  I'll mention in the caption...haha

Still loving the birdbrain images from From The Heart Stamps.  This one is called Birdbrain Needs Coffee.  I'm entering it into their FTHS Challenge Sketch 100 with a twist.  I think I did both - the sketch and CAS.  I made the background paper will wet embossing and heat.

A2, holder punch, mag die, copics, wink of Stella on eyelids, Lil Inker stitched circle and rectangle die, made shadow circle with Silhouette,

OK...here is the "oops"...forgot to color the peak and coffee inside mug...bummer...of course I went back and coloroed as seen in first photo..haha

Big hug waiting for you

My brother is gravely ill so I'm on a mission to send at least 2 cards a week.  I need to make more manly cards.  I never have one when I need it.

I totally cased Sue Kemet.  Her card was perfect in every way for what I wanted for my brother.  If you follow me, then you know this isn't the first time I have cased her...haha  I have several other friends I will be casing this weekend.  When you are in a hurry, casing a lovely, perfect card really saves time.  I think casing is respectful and tells/shows a person how talented they are by someone wanting to case.  And, I like to acknowledge their talent on my blog.

I used Ai Bear Hugs Set and birch tree die set from Impression Obsession, and Bear Hug Waiting sentiment from TLC  And YUP.... an action wobble  I cut everything out with my Cameo.

A2 vertical, grass die, stitching, copics for coloring.  My brother graduated from the Citadel so that is why I chose blue pants and bow tie...haha
