Sweet birthday

Hope you're doing well! September certainly has been a busy month!

We recently attending our friend's 5th birthday, and here is her card.



I cut the scoops out with felt, as well as the 5 for the inside of the card.



I used Big Birthday Wishes for the inside and the ice cream comes from Sweet as Can Be.

Peace

Happy Monday!

I've been working on my Christmas cards, as you may remember. Here's another, this one uses Background Basics: Woodgrain and the 2010 Holiday Tags.



I used Mat Stack 4 and a Fillable Frame diecut for a layered look, and added a gem to each "berry" on the wreath. Simple, and easy to mail!

Thanks for taking a look!

Card Caravan Button Challenge

Hope you're having a great weekend!

I'm back with the next Card Caravan challenge, brought to you by The Hybrid Chick . This week's challenge is to use one or more buttons!

Here's my card:



I used Karen Lewis' digital kit Camporama . Aren't the colors and designs lovely?! I punched out some of the papers with my square punched and adhered them in this pattern after inking all the edges.

A Terracotta Tile button (Papertrey Ink) was added at each intersection, and I also added the little tag (Tiny Tags, Papertrey Ink) tied on with twine. The cardstock is also Terracota Tile (PTI).

I hope you'll check out our challenge and play along!

Christmas Tree

Hi! Well, the sun finally made an apperance this week! Thank goodness!

I'm happy to report that I finished my self-imposed mission to make cards using each of my Christmas sets. This card features an oldie-but-goodie, Believe, by PTI.



The background (Musical Backgrounds, WMS) was stamped onto Ripe Avocado cardstock, using Versamark ink. I also stamped the tree with versamark, and heat embossed it using Gold Zing embossing powder. In real life, it's sparkly!



I colored the tree with Copic markers, and stamped the label (Label Basics, PTI) with Creamy Brown ink (Colorbox).

Hope you have a great start to your weekend!

Another MIM

Happy rainy Thursday! I'm still making Christmas cards and Make It Monday cards! Here's today's version:



Still trying to decide if I should add a sentiment somewhere. The background was stamped using the little candy cane image from Tiny Treats: Holiday. I colored them with hot pink and red Copics, although it only looks red in the photo.

Thanks for coming by!

Sweetest Holiday Wishes

It's Wednesday! It's been raining so much here...hope you're dry where you are!

I am on a quest to make a card with every Christmas stamp set that I own...so here is today's card using Friendship Jar Holiday Fillers.



I stamped and masked the three jars and the fillers. They all were colored using Copic markers, and I added glitter to the cookies using my Quickie Pen and Martha Stewart glitter. The sentiment, from Holiday Button Bits, was stamped onto a label from Label Basics. Finally, I tied a ribbon using 1/4" silk ribbon.

Thanks for taking a look!

A Merry Christmas to You

Good morning!

I've started working on my Christmas cards and will have a few to share over the next days.



For this card, I stamped the triangle wreath image from Tranquility Triology as a background. I then colored the small berries with a Copic marker. The sentiment comes from the Waltzingmouse Stamps set, The Compliments of the Season. I also used Mat Stack 1 Collection for the frame, and Mat Stack 1 die and the Layerz die.

Have a great day!
Melissa
