Happy Birthday Wishes

Yay!! I finally used my Spice Cake dsp!!! I know, takes me a while to get around to using stuff, lol. This is a birthday card for my Dad. He's90 this year and believe it or not he's still traveling on his own. He flew to Switzerland and drove to Florida after Christmas last year. He's slowing down, but still very active for his age.

I used The Paper Players Sketch #114.

I'm also entering Ribbon Carousel's Challenge #72 - Buttons and Twine.

Here's another card I want to share over at Freshly Make Sketches this week. I am just squeaking this one in. I used Sketch #16 again.

This card is for my sister in law and family who just purchased their first home.  The little houses were stamped and coloured in with copics, cut out and popped up.

Snowflakes....

Good day :) This card came together very quickly for me today and I've very pleased with it. I hadn't had a chance to play with my CTMH Snowflakes Stamp set which coordinates with the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge and I've been wanting to make these snowflakes for some time. Everything came together today! I cut them with my cricut and stamped them in Stampin Up's Craft white ink and then heat embossed them with white embossing powder.  The sentiment and snowflake on the inside is from the same stamp set.  I was so excited to use the tiny twinkle brads from CTMH, I think they add the perfect touch.

The Challenge at Sparkle's Christmas Card Challenge #42 is to use animal prints.  Thankfully I saw one of the design team members using animals printed on the paper, rather than an animal print, cause I don't have any, lol.  So I used paper from the Basic Grey's Eskimo Kisses paper pack which has tiny deer and penguins.  I also used sketch #16 from Freshly Made Sketches as this weeks challenge is their 1 year anniversay and you can choose any previous sketch you like.

I better get outside with the mutts, it's a beautiful day!

It's been sooooooo long since I've used my copics!!  I shouldn't let this much time go by, I did get a little rusty :)
