And another Happy Birthday...

A more masculine card this time...

Ink is from papertrey ink (kraft).  Cardstock, paper, tapestry rubon and bling are all from close to my heart.

Happy Birthday...

My husband keeps reminding me that I need to make more birthday cards.  I was completely out the last time he raided my card stash for birthdays.  So I'll be making a few of those for the upcoming days. 


It gave me the perfect opportunity to try out some stamps that just arrived from a new stamp company, Uniko Studio.  Never heard of them?  Doesn't surprise me, they are VERY new, have 2 stamp sets available right now, and just released a digital designer paper pack.  Check out their store here, and their blog here.


They are located in the UK, but I had quick shipping and the best service so far.


Today's card uses the flower stamp that is repeated in three different sizes, and in some of the clock faces of the Time stamp set.  (BTW, this little flower coordinates with the filigree border die from papertrey so beautifully.  I cannot wait to pair those up on a card or layout!)

The stamps are from Time (Uniko Studio).  Inks are from papertrey ink (hawaiian shores, simply chartreuse, aqua mist, and spring moss) and memento (tuxedo black).  The ribbon and cardstock are hawaiian shores from papertrey.  The white daisy cardstock and bling brad are from close to my heart. 


I love these stamps and can't wait to use more of them!  I also can't wait to see what else Uniko Studio puts out in the months ahead!!

4th Birthday

Have I mentioned I'm terrible when it comes to the big event layouts? Yeah.

So I'm just now doing my son's 4th birthday layout. He turned 5 almost 3 months ago. And no, I haven't done the 5th birthday layout yet.




Anyway, I used Close to My Heart's flip flap pockets to add more pictures to the layout (both the pic of my son and the pic of the birthday cake have more pictures underneath them). Pretty much everything except the felt, the scooby doo, and the "4" are from Close to My Heart. The felt (stars and border) is from Fancy Pants, the scooby doo was from an extra invitation (that I made into a card for his presents), and the 4 is using a die cut from Papertrey Ink.

37th Birthday

This is a birthday card I made recently for a friend's birthday. I was a bit apprehensive about making a cupcake birthday card for an adult, but I think she liked it. The cupcake and numbers dies are from Papertrey Ink, as well as the stamp set (Big Birthday Wishes), the paper (Wings) and ink are from Close to My Heart. I placed the numbers through my xyron sticker maker upside down and then covered them with prisma glitter.

Happy Bday Joshua!

Sometimes it's just easier to make a tag for young children rather than a card. After all, are they really going to care about the card. (Note:
I know there are exceptions out there who would be thrilled to receive lovely handmade cards, but I don't know of any. :p )

Anyway, we have a 1st birthday party to go to tomorrow, and darn it, even if I made a tag I wanted it to be special.



Colored with my copic ciao markers, and little engineer guy is popped up on foam tape. Stamps are from Close to My Heart (Train, engineer, & Joshua) and Papertrey Ink (Happy Birthday). I'll add a nice masculine blue ribbon and call it done after the kids sign their names.

I have a wonderful birthday tea to go to tonight. Looking forward to spending some time with friends and enjoying adult conversations for a couple of hours.

But in the meantime, I could post some of my favorite cards. This is the birthday card I made for my sister-in-law. Hmmm....now that I think about it, I'm not sure she has received it yet! HaHa! Oh well. If she is reading, Happy Birthday!
