On yer bike!


Hello friends,how is your week going?

Today I have a card (or 2) again with a birthday theme. I really am trying to build my stash!!
When I was cutting this out I cut an extra one...and although not a very big set,it's still more than 1!! lol


Here is my other version...


Recipe
Stretch Your Imagination -  bike cut at 3"
Best Friends for 3.5" background paper
4th of July Twine
MS punch for grass
Whimsy sentiments and die

I used Rock Candy crackle glaze for the frame.

I am entering these over at FCCB - challenge #108 - On the Go.


Thanks for stopping by.

Birthday Balloons Card Set


Hi,hope you had a good weekend.

I don't know if anyone else has this problem,but for all the special cards I make, I still never have a spare birthday card for last minute or when I've forgotten!!

April is a busy month for friends and family birthdays and I covered all the really special ones but needed a couple of general ones.

The challenge last week over at BBTB2 is to use cricut cut balloons and make a birthday card.
I came up with the simplest card ever! I was all set to send it and then decided I would make 4 more to have a set for when needed. I have a friend who chooses a simple design and makes variations for all her friend's birthdays,so always has a card on hand.



I really like how they turned out. I could have made it much easier and quicker by leaving out the embossing,inking and tying twine but although produced en mass I still wanted them to be special.


Recipe

Art Philosophy - card and mat cut at 5"
Create a Critter - balloons cut at 3.5"
Tiny Tags stamp set and assorted twines from My Craft Spot
Distress Inks and 3D foam


I started with pink balloons but then added blue ones so they would be more gender neutral.
I think they will work for some of my son's 11 year old friends as they are a perfect size to add money to!

I do like making unique and individual cards but I think I am going to challenge myself to make a set of cards on a regular basis. I sometimes do them as gifts for other people but not usually for me! I also get bored after the first 2!!

Perhaps another set next month....did I really write that?!! Lol!

There's still time to enter the challenge over  at BBTB2.
Do check out the creative DT and entries,lots of fabulous inspiration.

I am also entering this over atPaper Playtime Challenge#72 - Say it with Sentiments - Birthday.
Today is a 'playday' for me in my craft room.
Hope you have  a great day too.

Hugs
