Scarlett's Birthday Card

  Happy Friday everyone, It's definitely a happy day here today. My beautiful granddaughter Scarlett is celebrating her 18th birthday today. 

Scarlett loves everything Snoopy, so I thought that she would love to have a card with the funny and mischief beagle on it. 



I decided to make a slimline card because I knew that I wanted to add several things. Fussy cut out Snoopy and Woodstock. I really don't like to fussy cut, not really good at it. I'm surprised they made it without losing any body parts. 

For the balloons I used Scarletts three favorite colors red, purple and brown

The Happy Birthday sentiment is from Stampendous called Happy Messages, It's a great sentiment stamp set

The number 18 is from Studio G

Base, clouds, grass and balloons are from varies cutting dies

Alcohol marker to color Woodstock

Also used Momento Black Ink, Versa Mark and Clear Embossing Powder

I also thought that I would share with you a little crocheted Snoopy that I made for the birthday girl.



(Sorry the picture is a little blurry)

I don't crochet very often so I'm not that good at it. This one was my second try at making it. The first one just didn't look right. 

That's going to be it for me today. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great weekend!

Special Day Card

  Happy New Year to you all, so happy that you could stop by. For my first post for the new year, I am sharing a birthday card with you.

It took me awhile to come up with a card to make. I kept changing my mind. 

I knew that I wanted to add a bird. So, I finally came up with this.



Here is a list of the supplies used

Bird stamp- Not sure who makes it. It was gifted to me, it's new but wasn't in any packaging. So not sure if it's branded or not. This was my first time using it.

Sentiment was created with the paint app on my computer and then printed out. The font is called -Viner Hand ITC

Cardstock- S.U. Riding Hood Red & white

Inks- Alcohol markers, Sponged the sky with SU Bashful Blue

Embossing folder- Forrest Branches

White satin ribbon colored with alcohol marker to match bird

Wink of Stella on berries

Thanks for stopping by and would love for you to leave me a comment. Wishing you all many blessings in the new year.
