Another Kaisercraft Birthday Card

Posted on April 30, 2013 by Ginger

Hello everyone! Yes, I have yet another birthday card to share with you. This card was super quick to create.

I used the last bit of my Kaisercraft 75 Cent Paper collection design papers to create this card. I loved this paper and used up every scrap! I think that’s a first for me. I used a Kraft color for the base of the card and just added a black mat, then a mat of the design paper. I used some pretty gold colored silk ribbon from May Arts for the bow. I added a large Prima flower and some bling. I also used a pretty Websters Pages stick pin.

I stamped my sentiment on the inside using the “Happy Days” stamp set from CardzTv.

Thanks for looking! Have a great week!

Another Prima Lyrical Birthday Card

Hello everyone! Thanks for stopping by! I have another birthday card to share with you. April was a busy month for me with birthdays!

I created my card using the gorgeous Prima Lyrical Paper collection. I used some light beige silk ribbon at the top. I layered on a rose from Recollections and used my Martha Stewart rose leaf punch for the leaves. I added some Prima pearls and a handmade stickpin.

On the inside of my card I stamped my sentiment using the CardzTv stamp set ” Happy Days”. I added some design paper and punched out a butterfly with a Martha Stewart butterfly punch.

Thanks for looking! Have a great week!

Your the Man Blog Hop

Your the Man Blog Hop

I’m so glad you could join us today for our “Your the Man” Blog Hop! We have divided the Cardz TV Design Team into a Saturday Team and a Sunday Team, so grab your favorite beverage, sit back and relax, and get ready for some fun, inspiration, and the chance to win some blog candy too! And don’t forget to come back tomorrow to Cardz TV for Day 2 with our Sunday team, for even more fun, inspiration and another chance to win some great blog candy!

For my blog hop project I decided to create a couple of layouts of my grandson. Of course I used the Cardztv “Your the Man” Stamp set. My design paper is from Echo Park’s “Scoot” Collection. This paper is a great paper for boys. I cut the title using my Slice and added it to the top of the page along with some twine and buttons. I stamped the sentiment “Hello Handsome” using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and added a few stick pins that I had in my stash. I added a few more buttons to the bottom corner of the layout.

For the second page of the layout I created some banners at the top and added buttons and twine. I also added the large “Today” word bubble for my title and stamped “Mr. Fix-it” to a small label and added it to a large journaling card. I thought this sentiment went really well with the photo. You never know with a three year old what you are going to get! I finished the journal spot off with a couple more buttons.

Prima Lyrical Birthday Card

Hello everyone! I have another card to share with you today.

To create this card I used the Prima Lyrical Collection. The card measures 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 inches. I used a kraft card base for the card. I added some flowers and bling to the front. I used some silk ribbon that I colored with some Lindys Starburst Spray. I inked around the edges using Tim Holtz Frayed Burlap Distress Ink.

For the inside of my card I stamped Happy Birthday using CardzTv Happy Days Stamp Set.

Thanks for looking! Have a great week!

Kaisercraft Birthday Card

Hello everyone! Thanks for stopping by! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!

For my project today I have a card to share with you. This card was created using the Kaisercraft “75 Cent” paper collection.

I had created a mini album using this collection and had some papers left over so I decided to create a birthday card. I inked all of my edges using Tim Holtz Distress stain in Walnut Stain. I added some lace trim at the bottom along with some pearl bling and Prima flowers.

Since the base of my card is black I added a mat on the inside with Stampin Up Very Vanilla. I used the Cardztv stamp set Happy Days to stamp “Happy Birthday” on the inside.

That’s my card. Thanks for looking! Have a great day!
