A {Way 2 Go} Card...

Happy Friday!  My son is finally back to school today after missing three days.  I've had three long days of being Nurse Mommy.  He ended up having an Upper Respiratory Infection and was absolutely miserable, which makes me miserable too.  This morning I crammed three days worth of errands into one morning.  Having a productive day, yay me!

Onto my card!  I have another fun card using Comic Book, Comic Bursts, and Burst Dies.  I love these coordinating sets for making cards for boys, big or little.  

Such a simple and basic card.

Have a fabulous weekend!!!

CSS Party Hop!!!

Happy Weekend!!!  I have such a fun project to share with you today.  We are literally having a PARTY HOP!  Each design team member has a party ensemble to share today.  How fun?!!

I used the new set Comic Bursts to create party invitations and cupcake toppers that would be perfect for a child's party.

I started with an A Blanc Check card base.  I used the background stamp Comic Book, stamped it using Dare to Be a Diva Red ink on a piece of A Blanc Check and trimmed it into a thick strip and then matted it on Dare to Be a Diva Red card stock with the edges distressed.  I die cut the Bursts shapes in sizes that can be stacked (A Blanc Check stacked on Your Style Blue Me Away card stock).   The bursts were stamped with a super fun super hero word using Perfect Little Black Dress ink.

Since this is an invitation, I needed to include all the party information.  I have a few invitation sets I could use, but I thought the style of Party Elements: Baby kept with the feel of the ensemble, and there's nothing babyish about it.  I carried over the colors from the front of the card to the inside of the card.

When I was die cutting Bursts shapes for the front of my card, I cut some extra to adhere to toothpicks to stick in my cupcakes.

A {You're My Hero} Card...

Hi there!  I have a quick and easy card to share with you today.  Don't you just love that dotted background stamp?  It's becoming one of my new favs.  It's called Comic Book and coordinates with Comic Burst stamp set.

This card is 4" square, the same size as the background stamp.  I stamped the background using Perfect Little Black Dress ink and then used a Burst die to cut out the center for the sentiment.

I adhered the Say Yellow to All Your Fans card stock behind the card using foam dots, then I stamped the outline of the burst shape using Dare to Be a Diva Red ink and stamped the sentiment in Your Style Blue Me Away ink.

Have a great day!

An {I am blue without you} Card...

Hi there!  Happy Friday!  We are getting ready for a big event for my son's class tonight.  Excited that it's finally here but glad it will be over so I can stop worrying about it.  I hope the skies are clear (unlike today's card) because we are spending the night looking at the stars!

For my card today, I used some of the newly released stamps from CSS's Collection 5.  I used the background stamp Comic Book to create a rainy background.  I did not mask the open space where the sentiment was placed, I simply stamped above and below the sentiment.  

I die cut and stamped some clouds using Clouds Combo and arranged them so they were hanging over the edges, then trimmed them flush with the edge.  

It's kind of odd for me to create a card with layers that are not popped up on foam dots.  But I don't think that would have been a good look for this card.   What do you think?

Thanks so much for sharing part of your day with me!  I hope you all have a great weekend!!!
