Birthday Cards

So back in October I celebrated my 30th birthday and I had just moved back to Houston a few weeks earlier so it was also a celebration to get to see all my closest friends again.  So I decided to play with stamps from two of my favorite companies: Lawn Fawn and Hero Arts.  Well I loved the card I made for my part I decided to use the idea again and some left over cupcakes I had to create the same look for my brother's fiance.  I actually am not sure if I like her card better or my invitation. Both I think are super fun and actually pretty easy.  The first here is the invitation... On the back side I just printed off all the details on my computer and then popped it in the mail.  I actually added Stickles to the cupcake but I took this picture before I added the detail.  The nice thing about this card is that it's flat for easy mailing however it would be easy to add a little dimension like the second card.

The pink card is pretty much the exact same design except it being just flat it is an actual card.  I stamped the polaroid on white cardstock and then mounted that on grey cardstock.  The picture doesn't actually show it well but the white is Liquid Applique and then I just heat zapped it.  Then I put some pink Stickles over it to match.  It looks like icing with sprinkles. :)  Now I just need to pop it in the mail.

Well I am doing much better on my New Year's Resolution of taking pictures of my cards and actually putting them on my blog and doing it frequently.  Apparently the Lawn Fawn Challenge was just what I needed to get me motivated.  That and knowing at least two people looked at it since they put comments.  :)

Thanks

My second entry ever for a Contest

All Aboard -
Used Critters of the Forest and Pa-Rum-Pa-Pum-Pum
Here is the card I'm hitching my wagon to. I am REALLY proud of my All Aboard card as I combined masking, copic coloring and even did some creative stamping to make my log really long.  It definitely took some time but I think it looks really great and best of all I had fun doing it.  I used only two stamp sets with Pa-Rum-Pa-Pum-Pum and Critters in the Forest.  I came up with the inspiration when I used the bow from Pa Rum and saw the All Aboard.  I thought hmmm I could make all the critters on board.  I also really love it because I'm so "All Aboard" the Lawn Fawn train.   Hope you all like my entry and hey maybe someone will follow my sad little blog with all three posts.  :)   LOL

My first entry ever for Lawn Fawn Challenge!

So I have definitely been lacking on the posting but here is a start! :)  One of my current favorite stamping companies is Lawn Fawn and I keep saying I'm going to enter contests and now I am finally doing it!  While I will probably not win with the Thanks Friend card I figure I may as well enter it since I have nothing to lose.  Thanks Friend was created using Critters in the Forest and Just My Type and the bow is from Pa Rum Pa Pum Pum.   Thanks for stopping by.
