Corgis are the Best

June 19, 2018 Karen Brown12 Comments

My daughter has the most adorable Corgi, so I wanted her birthday card to feature her beloved \”Newton\”. I recently purchased the MFT Lucky Dog set so that I would have a Corgi stamp. I thought a clean and simple card with just Newton colored (and emphasized) would be a fun look.

I am happy with the way the card turned out and am entering it in several challenges:

Casology \”Jumpy\”Challenge

Muse Challenge 271 (focusing on the dog, birthday and \”subjects in a row\” themes)

MFT Birthday Project Challenge

Make a Wish

I went to the Stamp and Scrapbook Expo, my first card making convention, and I found a Stamp Company that I really liked – Rubbernecker Stamps. I LOVED this candle set and also bought the frame stamp. I am entering this card in the Cards in Envy Birthday Party Time Challenge

Handmade card using Rubbernecker Stamps Candle Set.

I stamped the frame, then the candles and colored with Copic markers. I like that this card could be given to just about anyone so it is great to have on hand.

Stamps Used:

Rubbernecker Candle Set
Rubbernecker Three Line Frame
Simon Says Stamp Brush Stroke Messages (sentiment)

Update:

My card was selected as an \”in the mailbox\” favorite in the Card Envy challenge:

Watercolor Birthday Cake

April 27, 2018 Karen Brown4 Comments

I designed this card for the Inspired By All The Little Things Challenge #84. I saw this challenge several days ago and I had so many ideas that I needed to ponder my card for a while. I knew I wanted to make a birthday card and yesterday I decided to use my just purchased gold embossing powder for a watercolor card. I designed it for my girly-girl sister\’s upcoming birthday.

Here is the inspiration graphic:
Inspired By All The Little Things #84

For my card, I focused on:

The Cake Theme
The Pink, Turquoise/Aqua, Purple Color Scheme

This is my first time using this new to me stamp set – Happy Day from Concord & 9th. I used Daniel Smith watercolors in Quinacrindone Pink, Quinacrindone Purple, Ultramarine Turquoise, and Green Gold. The embossing powder is Ranger Princess Gold.

I am looking forward to giving this card to my sister.

UPDATE:
I am very excited that my card was chosen \”Inspiring Stand Out\” in the Inspired by All The Little Things\” challenge!

Thanks for stopping by,
